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.
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!

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
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.
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!
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
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!
