Bernice is described as a standout bakery with indulgent pastries, from fluffy brioche and cinnamon rolls to thick cookies and beautifully decorated cakes, and the coffee program is frequently praised. Many reviews highlight the blueberry coffee cake as soft and well balanced and the cookies as thick and rich, with the chocolate chip with pecans singled out as a balanced favorite, while some find certain items too sweet and others note the price can be high. Occasional notes of inconsistency and price concerns recur, including a few delivery mixups or cake substitutions that disappointed some customers. Cakes for birthdays and weddings are celebrated as impressive and delicious, and service is often described as friendly, attentive, and helpful, with staff going above and beyond on occasions. Overall the vibe is clean and chic, the atmosphere is cozy, and guests repeatedly say they will return to try more items, though many suggest getting there early to grab popular treats.
I honestly can't recommend this bakery enough! I come here whenever I'm in the area, & I'll even go out of my way just to drive here. My daughter & I absolutely love it. The coffees, pastries, & cakes are all amazing-I've yet to find anything better in Montreal.
It's definitely an indulgent spot, but every bite is worth it.
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.
My boyfriend & I stopped by this bakery to grab a quick bite right before they closed. They were so so sweet & we were absolutely floored by the pastries. I wholeheartedly believe that the quality of the pastries reflect their prices & I would recommend that everyone has the amazing experience of trying their items. I will definitely be coming back to take my time & try more things!!

This place is absolutely INSANE. Run there right now & that way you can burn off the calories you will not regret consuming at this bakery also known as heaven on earth. The cinnamon buns are the best I've eaten & the cookies so decadent & over the top in the best way possible. My boyfriend & I went this morning & were already trying to rationalize to ourselves an acceptable time frame to go back & get everything they have to offer. It IS that bakery!
Best bakery in the city. They don't have a huge selection, but that works in their favour as all their items are truly fantastic. Super friendly as well. Defintly a spot to go out of your way for. Go early because they can run out quick!
After hearing so much about Bernice Bakery, I decided to order a birthday cake from them. Ordering was quick & easy, as was pick-up. Employees were kind & knowledgeable. & the cake is absolutely delicious - not to mention gorgeous. An agreed-upon new favourite cake from all party guests. We'll definitely be back!
