Bernice draws rave attention for indulgent baked goods, with cookies, brioche, cinnamon rolls, cakes, and coffee that many call among the best in Montreal. Reviews praise generous portions, rich textures, and standout items such as brown butter bars, PBJ cookies, Biscoff cake, and blueberry coffee cake, while some note that prices are steep for individual treats. The atmosphere is described as cozy and chic with friendly, attentive staff, though a few comments mention occasional stockouts or longer waits. Many guests celebrate special occasions with cakes that are said to wow, and repeat visits are common for those seeking a sweet indulgence. A minority of reviews point to occasional inconsistency in quality or service and occasional delivery issues, but the overall impression remains that Bernice is a must visit for dessert lovers.
We ordered the raspberry lemon birthday cake from Bernice, & unfortunately it was very disappointing for the price. At around $75, we expected much better quality & flavor. The cake was overly sweet, & honestly all we could really taste was sugar. The raspberry & lemon flavors barely came through, making the cake feel very average overall.
For this price range, there are much better options out there, we personally found Le Cavalier to be far superior in quality & taste. Sadly, this cake did not feel worth the money.
I dropped my birthday cake mid-day yesterday & ended up going to Bernice to see if I could score a super last minute (seriously, 15 mins before close) replacement birthday cake for myself.
I got a frosted rainbow cake & it turns out that dropping the original birthday cake was the best thing that could've happened to me on my birthday. I'm not even really a cake person but this cake was giving off such a whimsical energy that it got me really excited for the cake portion of the evening.
I will definitely be coming back here for all future birthday cakes.
Celebrated two birthdays in the last month which gave us the opportunity to try the full frosting rainbow & the Biscoff cookie butter cakes. Both phenomenal!! Probably the top 2 cakes I've ever had. & of course couldn't leave without adding a variety of 6 of the most delicious cookies both times. They were a huge hit & will definitely be back (SOON!) to try more goodies. The brioche & carrot cakes are calling my name. Jami & staff all very helpful & friendly each time.
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!
I loved this place! Wonderful atmosphere, a big selection of delectable desserts, & super friendly & helpful staff! Their offerings are on the pricier side, but they're certainly worth it! The birthday cake I got was amazing, & the portion was so generous (I'd say it could be very happily shared by 2 people!). Highly recommend!

Lovely café & cake shop! Just enjoyed a piece of their delicious classic birthday cake. Had to box half of it, tasted exactly as expected, but the best version I have had to date. Beautiful shop, great coffee, friendly service.
