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 consistently praise Boulangerie Ange for fresh bread and a wide range of pastries, including croissants, chouquettes, tartelettes, and pain au raisins, as well as tasty sandwiches on crusty bread and good coffee. The setting is bright and welcoming and the staff are often described as friendly with efficient service, making it a good spot for a quick breakfast, lunch, or treat. Some notes mention higher prices and occasional slow or inattentive service, and a few items may not meet every expectation such as sandwiches with little meat or bread that is a touch burnt, but overall quality and freshness remain a highlight. The bakery is considered a go to in downtown Montreal by many for a French style bakery experience and reliable fare.
Excellente vendeuse ! Charlène a vraiment le sens du commerce, elle a réussi à me faire acheter des choses que je n'avais même pas prévu de prendre 😅. Très souriante, accueillante & professionnelle, elle donne envie de revenir. Bravo !
Lots of natural light in this welcoming downtown cafe. This area is not rich with quality cafes so Boulangerie Ange is superbly placed. Their croissants & chocolatines are expertly crafted, perfectly puffy. They just opened another location closer to me so will be trying them out there as well.
Les pains sont très bons malgré très souvent ils sont trop brûler. Les tartelettes sont très belle mais le saveurs très artificiel. Les employés rush sur tout, un peu'bad mood'
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.
