Review Summary

Aux Merveilleux de Fred is a beloved Montreal bakery and patisserie known for its signature Merveilleux and for a wide range of croissants, brioches, waffles and coffee. Reviews describe a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with the scent of fresh pastry and pastry chefs at work, and consistently praise the high quality, light textures and balance of sweetness across offerings. The croissants and brioche are frequently highlighted as among the best in Montreal, and the Merveilleux and other pastries are described as delicate and delicious. Service is often fast, friendly and attentive, though a few notes mention the space feeling tight and seating limited, and one review cites uneven service. Accessibility is mixed, with ramps and accessible facilities reported but interior layout sometimes challenging. Overall the place stands out for dessert lovers in Montreal, offering a Parisian cafe vibe, reliable treats and a must try signature dessert that makes many want to return.

Why did we have to pay tips if it was just take out?! Way too expensive for what it is.

I love their waffles ( I am from Lille so it's a taste of home )

My husband & I were visiting from Edmonton a few years back. We had a lovely time visiting with staff, & of course sampling many of the wonderful pastries & croissant. All while enjoying a lovely espresso. I remember it fondly.

We fell in love with this quaint little shoppe, & when we visit Montreal one of our absolute musts is stopping by Aux Merveilleux de Fred.

Simply exceptional!

Toujours merveilleux. J'adore. Incroyable service, & ce autant à Montréal qu'à Toronto.

This has been my go-to pastry spot for years, but my last few visits have been disappointing. As you can see in the photo, the lamination basically failed…. I hope they get back to their usual standard soon.

Très déçue. Les pâtisseries ne sont pas bonnes & c'est très cher pour la qualité. Je n'ai aimé ni le petit pain au chocolat, ni la mousse au chocolat, ni les merveilleux. Le seul goût acceptable était le caramel.

Je ne peux pas m'en passer! Aux merveilleux de Fred est ma boulangerie préférée depuis que je l'ai essayé à Prague, je ne la recommanderai jamais assez!

Passage obligatoire quand je passe à Montréal, si vous voulez en ouvrir un à Trois-Rivieres, ça me fera moins loin😜
Super service en tous cas & toujours un délice à déguster.

One of my favorite viennoiseries places!

Their croissants are top quality! It's a high end offering with very fair prices. Service is really professional & the place is super clean, white & neat. All preparations happen in an open kitchen in front of you, proof of quality, professionalism & cleanliness. They use top ingredients. I always go there for the chocolate croissant (so far best in Montreal) & the coffee

I bought a small cherry pastry. It was moldy & when I showed the staff they were incredibly rude & tried to convince me it was just cherry (despite it being green & fuzzy!). The staff replaced it but didn't offer any kind of apology & were super rude when we left. The pastry didn't even taste like cherry. 0/10

Great bakery with wonderful products. Their speciality seems to be Meringue, but I am also a fan of their brioche. Don't miss it!
