A beautiful story of gourmet friends and lovers of good bread. It all starts with a simple idea: to make good products at reasonable prices for everyone and for any time of the day. From morning coffee and pure butter croissants to crispy lunchtime sandwiches, generous evening pizzas, and mouth-watering sweet tarts. And let's not forget a wide range of breads kneaded, shaped, and baked on-site. At Ange, whether in France or Quebec, there is something for everyone.
Reviews describe Boulangerie Ange as a bright, welcoming bakery with a wide selection of breads, croissants, pastries and sandwiches, and many readers praise buttery croissants, almond croissants, chouquettes, pain au chocolat and flaky pastries as highlights, along with fresh bread and tasty quiches or pizza slices for lunch. The atmosphere is often described as cozy and modern, with good natural light and comfortable seating when available, making it a good spot for a quick breakfast, coffee, or a casual bite. The service is frequently praised as friendly, efficient and attentive, although some comments note slower or rushed service, occasional lapses in warmth, or moments of less helpful interaction during busy periods. Pricing is viewed as fair for the quality by many, while a few mention higher prices or a sense that some items are expensive. Overall, Boulangerie Ange is seen as a top bakery option in downtown, reliable for fresh products and consistent quality, with many planning to return.
Boulangerie Ange is my new go-to for bakery bliss. The croissants are ultra-flaky & buttery, the baguettes crackle when you tear them, & the pastries (hello, fruit tarts) taste as good as they look. Loved the sandwiches on freshly baked bread & a smooth coffee to match. The space is bright & welcoming, staff are friendly, & prices feel fair for the quality. Perfect for a quick breakfast, a treat with friends, or grabbing a warm loaf to take home-if it survives the ride!
We stopped in for a quick lunch (sandwiches & dessert). I ordered the pan bagnat, a Nice-style tuna number I've had a thousand times in southern France. Salty, oily, honest.
But this version came with a surprise. Mid-bite, I hit something soft, elastic. I pulled it out, & there it was: a used finger BAND-AID.
Straight from someone else's hand into my mouth.Let that sink in: a BAND-AID. In. My. Sandwich.
To the manager's credit, she didn't flinch. Apologized immediately, reimbursed the entire meal, & told us the food is made off-site in a central kitchen. She assured us she'd raise hell with the supplier. She owned it & I respect that. But even with that responsibility taken, there's no coming back from this.
This wasn't some back-alley food stall in Bangkok where you expect the unexpected. This was a corporate operation (Ange is a chain), a system that's supposed to run with standards & controls. That's what makes it worse. This didn't just slip through the cracks. The cracks are the system.
Nothing has ever turned my stomach like this. Ange Bakery? Never again. Industrial food at its most careless.
Early open (7am), bakery, sandwiches, lunch, cafe THE Best opition for early morning bite. Recommend! Bright, not busy, wheelchair/stroller friendly. Outdoor seating. Gorgeous view & easy date/social location.
Absolutely love this spot! Boulangerie Ange at Humaniti on Viger Street is modern, bright, & welcoming, perfect for a quick coffee break or a casual meet-up.
Their selection of breads, viennoiseries, & sandwiches is excellent. You can tell they care about quality ingredients & fresh preparation. The croissants are buttery & flaky, the sourdough is top-notch, & their pizza slices are a surprisingly great lunch option.
Service has always been friendly & efficient, even during the busier morning rush. Plus, it's great to see a bakery maintain high standard while keeping prices reasonable.
Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area or looking for a new favorite bakery downtown!

One of the best, if not THE best bakery in downtown Montreal with the best prices.
Authentic croissants & pastries, solid bread & sandwiche options. I go there on a weekly. Highly highly recommend!
C'est un bel endroit avec beaucoup de choix de sandwich, pâtisseries, desserts. Les sandwiches sont bons & la tarte au chocolat succulente. Malheureusement, le service m'a déçu. J'aurais aimé qu'on me présente les options selon la formule repas retenue. Le serveur n'était pas coopératif, il démontrait peu d'intérêt à nous servir. Il ne nous a pas indiqué ce qui était compris dans le trio. Il n'a pas demandé si je mangeais sur place. Il a emballé mon dessert dans la même boite que celle de mon collègue sans vérifier auparavant si ça nous convenait. Il ne nous a pas remercié ni salué. C'était franchement décevant.
The store is located in a nice building near Palais des Congrès, with a pleasant seating area. They offer delicious viennoiseries at reasonable prices, & also sell sandwiches & coffee.
Good selection of sandwiches, tarts & baked goods. The employees are very friendly & patient, especially if you're trying to speak in French. They can warm up your purchases for you, but would suggest that you ask them to warm up for a bit longer (it still comes out a bit cold).
