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.
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 can't get enough of this place. Everytime i go it's always a treat. I've tried so many of their different cookies (& famous cinnamon bun of course) & I've never once been disappointed!
My favorite so far has to be the brownie/Blondie cookie, it was so delicious, & it was the perfect sweet treat! The staff is also always so kind & smiling, they've never led me a stray with their recommendations. This is definitely one of my go to spots for when I want to indulge in a GOOD sweet treat🍵🍪

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.
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

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.
Such a good cinnamon roll! I did spend a pretty penny of 4 cinnamon rolls but it was worth it since everyone enjoyed it!
Place is very clean, & the people there are very friendly! We got there around 10:30/11am on a rainy Sunday morning & there was only 3 people ahead of us but after 3 minutes in line, the line behind us grew substantially!
They were very good with replenishing their stock but I would go early just incase.
There is space in there to eat but the seats so fill up, we ended up taking our stuff to go!
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!

Cozy spot with the most delicious pastries & drinks! The cinnamon roll was INCREDIBLE! The owner was also super friendly & explained their drinks menu, from which you can order anything in a Frappuccino format. We had a matcha Frappuccino & a chai Frappuccino & both were delicious. Also the cookies are excellent. Can't wait to go back
Really good cinnamon buns! Gooey inside & not overly sweet. I think it could use a touch more icing, but it is really nice they don't overdue it with the icing. I also tried a savoury bun which was good, but I wouldn't get it again.
As of Feb 2025, Bernice is home to the best cinnamon bun in Montreal!
We also bout a sixer of cookies that we brought to a party later that night & the crowd went wild. The kind of cookies that you just stare at for minutes on end & wonder how they go so thicc & rich & tantricly orgasmic. Insane.
Also bought some coffee beans & rate them a 8.5/10 for home brews!
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!
