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.
I love a great dessert, but always feel disgusted after the overload of sugar. This place does it right! Soft, delicious & satisfying. Had their brioche & cookies.
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!

Les meilleurs biscuit a montreal, & leur brioche sont excellent tout est juste trop bon!!!! Nous avons pris une part de gateau au miel pomme & creme de pistache WOWWW!! J'aime trop cette patisserie
Un R.E.G.A.L
Je pense que c'est l'un des meilleurs cookies que j'ai jamais mangé (chocolat blanc avec une ganache fondante à l'intérieur)
La brioche était également succulente & vraiment copieuse, une pour deux pourrait suffire.
L'option sirop d'érable pour remplacer le sucre dans le latté est vraiment sympa !
& le personnel est super sympa
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.
Très bel endroit, propre & bien aménagé. Bonne ambiance en général, le staff est super accueillant & tout le monde est souriant, ça fait toujours plaisir! Pour ce qui est de la bouffe, j'ai pris les brioches pour essayer avec ma famille & elles ont fait l'unanimité. Bravo à vous, c'était génial! La brioche est bonne, elle n'est pas sèche (ce qui est un défaut chez d'autres) & est plutôt grosse, donc rien à dire là-dessus. Malheureusement, je ne peux pas passer à côté d'un point important, le prix... Je savais que j'allais payer plus cher pour la qualité du produit, mais pas à ce point. Ça reste une brioche. Je recommande tout de même, car c'est une bonne expérience, mais préparez vous à payer pour celle-ci.

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.
Je suis une immense fan du Bernice depuis des années. Selon moi, ils font définitivement les meilleurs biscuits & brioches de Montréal. L'équipe est toujours sympathique. Ce soir pour la première fois, ma famille & moi avons commandé un gâteau pour célébrer un anniversaire. Par inadvertance, nous avons reçu le gâteau d'un autre client lorsque nous sommes allés le récupérer. & bien, un membre de l'équipe est venu nous porter le bon gâteau à notre souper de famille. Je n'ai jamais vu un aussi bon service à la clientèle. Je suis impressionnée & encore plus fan de l'endroit. Je le recommande à tous & à toutes. Merci encore Bernice!
An involved & creative owner offering unique & delicious brioche roll creations. A must try for anyone who's a fan of cinnamon rolls. The true star for me was the chocolate brioche roll & I'll definitely be coming back to try what's new.

I've had the cookies & the savory brioche here, & both were the perfect balance of tender & crisped, with flavors that really come through. The caramel cookie has pockets of melted caramel in it. 😭 The savory brioche boasted pine nuts & ribbons of pesto & cheese - truly a unique pastry/bread experience.
Outstanding Service & Delicious Pastries!
From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm & friendly welcome. The staff was incredibly kind & attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Their excellent service truly stood out! There was a great variety of pastries, & everything looked delicious. I decided to try a brioche with cheese, ham, & bacon. It was so good that I had to order another one right away! I also bought two cookies & a croissant, & everything was of exceptional quality.
Beyond the amazing food & coffee, what really made a difference was the outstanding service. The staff was genuinely friendly, making the place feel even more cozy & inviting. I'll definitely be coming back!
