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 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.
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!

Toujours un plaisir décadent de partager les créations de Bernice ! Cette fois ci le gâteau biscoff cookie butter cake pour un anniversaire ! WoW 🤩 ! À ne pas manquer !
Very expensive ( 18 cad for a slice of cake ). Anyway The white chocolate cookies are amazing, the cake not so much. Brownies ( 10$ for a square) are okay as well as cinnamon rolls but overall just extremely pricey
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.
There is no better Bakery in the city of Montreal than Bernice Bakery! We buy all their cookies , squares & cakes for all occasion's. Whether you live in Montreal or just visiting do not miss this out of the world bake shop!!! The absolute best!!
ordered 6 cookies & a slice of cake & the cake was alright nothing crazy but the cookies I was quite disappointed, had been hyped up by few people & tbh overhyped, overpriced.

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.
The cakes are on the higher end of the market in terms of price,but they are worth every penny, absolutely delicious! The service is good & friendly but I noticed that sometimes you may need to wait for a seat, but it's well worth it.
Every single cake, cookie, cinnamon bun is to die for. The coffee & the matcha is so amazing. Bernice is by far my absolutely favourite bakery. I dream about their dessert 24/7. Highly recommend ALL their cakes
