We came for the baked goods & left completely obsessed. Everything looked absolutely incredible, but the cookies?! NEXT. LEVEL. 🤎🍪 Fresh, delicious, & genuinely to die for!! The kind of cookie you take one bite of & immediately start planning your next visit.
The baked goods are beautiful, indulgent, & impossible to resist. Pair that with a delicious latte ☕? & you've got the perfect little treat-yourself moment.
Best cinnamon roll 'Brioche' I've ever had, I went to other places that are in the top list of MTL & this is my new favorite. Super fluffy, buttery & moist, yet it has other great textures from the crumble & the sides are a bit baked or caramalized. The cookies are great too, very similar to levain cookie in NYC, I really like the 4oz cookies. Overall one of the best baked good outings I've had, I was planning on saving some for at home but ended up eating everything. Customer service was great, & the man behind the counter kindly answered my many questions about all their products. Will definitely be back, worth the far trip from the other side of town & will need to try their cake next time!

Bernice is a really solid bakery with some standout items.
Their brioche is basically a cinnamon-roll cousin - super moist, fluffy, & indulgent. It does lean on the sweeter side, but if you like rich pastries, it hits the spot.
The blueberry coffee cake is an absolute 10/10 - soft, crumbly, perfectly balanced, & honestly one of the best things I've had there. My only complaint is that it's not available nearly as often as I wish it were. The cinnamon coffee cake is also delicious, though it can be a bit dense at times compared to the blueberry.
The cookies are very much Levain-style: thick, crispy on the outside, super moist inside. I tried a variety - double chocolate, chocolate chip, cranberry white chocolate, funfetti - but most were very sweet, to the point where I couldn't finish them. The standout for me was the chocolate chip with pecans; the nuts cut the sweetness perfectly & made it much more balanced.
My only real downside: the price. Around $40 for six cookies feels steep, even for high-quality baking.
That said, Bernice clearly knows what they're doing. If you're into rich, indulgent baked goods & don't mind a sweeter profile, it's worth a visit - especially if you can get your hands on that blueberry coffee cake.
Unfortunately the quality is inconsistent & there is a lack of care about customer service. Be careful with full cake orders & delivery orders.
We purchased the strawberry shortcake & it tasted (& looked) not fully baked unfortunately.
Also placed an order on uber eats for the cake of the day which was shown on their IG as a pistachio honey cake & instead received a Black Forest cake slice which was featured as their cake of the day the day before. Really disappointing as we contacted them about it & they did not make it right & said they were sorry if we were « confused » by their IG (even if they only featured the honey cake that day). When you are paying over $70+ for desserts, the experience & quality should be much better.
We stopped by finally , after planning to since awhile & it's definitely worth the drive for us! Such mouthwatering combinations whether it is the bacon bechamel version of cinnamon rolls or the cookies, you cannot go wrong with anything you pick. Melt in the mouth delicious flavours, crafted with care & perfection! My photos don't do it justice 😊👍 great service too & fresh baked goods! We'll be back for more!
