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.
Came to pick up an order & decided to stay for a while. Our drinks were delicious & the staff were very kind & helpful. A cute little spot & the cookies are SO GOOD.
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.
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!

The service here is always top notch. I came here 3 times for coffee & dessert. The seatings are very comfy & the people working there were always so nice!
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 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🍵🍪
