Review Summary

Reviews depict Boulangerie Cheskie as a bright, clean, old school kosher bakery with a wide, appealing range of Jewish pastries and breads, where the chocolate babka and cheese crowns are repeatedly praised as standout items and the place is seen as a must visit in Montreal, often accompanied by long lines that reflect its popularity. Prices are generally described as reasonable for the quality, and staff are noted as friendly and efficient in many visits, though some reviews mention occasional unfriendly service or language barriers. The space and energy are described as welcoming, with mentions of a newer modern location, busy crowds, and limited seating. While many desserts are described as rich, sweet, and indulgent, a few items are noted to be overly sweet or doughy or not as fresh in rare cases, but overall the babka, cheese crowns, rugelach, cheesecake, challah and other pastries are celebrated as among the best, making it a standout stop for traditional Jewish baked goods in the city.

Babka is one of the best I've ever tried, they have chocolate, cheese & cinnamon. Highly suggest getting'at least' 1 of each to try! Super fast, in & out kind of place.

Ca fait cinq ans que j'habite à Montréal & cinq ans que je ne me lasse pas de cette boulangerie juive qui propose la meilleure babka en ville. Grand bravo aux travailleuses, qui malgré les journées intenses, sont très serviables & gentilles. Aussi je trouve les prix super correct.

Get the chocolate babka & then cottage cheese one or cottage cheese crowns.
It's not a fine patisserie, but they are good at what they specialize. Babkas are top!

Pâtisseries excellentes, j'ai pris deux petites babkas au chocolat & un rugelach au chocolat, c'était délicieux, je reviendrai c'est certain!

Les prix sont très raisonnables pour ce que j'ai acheté, une connaissance m'avait conseillé votre boulangerie & je ne suis pas déçu!

Was craving babka & this bakery was surprisingly still open in the evening. We got the babka loaf, a chocolate cheesecake muffin, & a rectangular cheesecake piece in the fridge section. The babka was pretty good, although I personally prefer the fragrance of the Montreal Kosher Bakery's one. The other desserts were just basic, mostly only tasting sweet. Service was just ok, employees were speaking Spanish to each other & not that friendly.

The bakery itself is in a very bright & modern looking space.

Was wowed by the babka (much messier than more chocolate-y than supermarket babka) & challah. Had some cheesecake like pastries that were also good

Great Jewish bakery that rivals some of New York's bakeries. Came around 11am & they didn't have any babkas!

Amazing kosher iconic bakery. Chocolate babka & mini chocolate cheesecakes are mouth watering. Challahs & rum balls are so yummy. Not to be missed!

My wife & I discovered a sweet slice of heaven while we were exploring Rue Bernard in Outremont named, Boulangerie Cheskie. This small bakery was full of customers patiently waiting to be served by the friendly staff behind the counter. There was a huge variety of baked goods & pastries to choose from, but our biggest problem was trying not to buy everything in the store because it all looked so delicious. We finally settled on some eye-catching Cheese Muffins & a decadent Chocolate Babka. These delicacies were absolutely scrumptious & we will definitely be returning for some more heavenly delights.

J'ai été pour tester la Babka au chocolat, elle est incroyablement bonne. Les croissants aussi sont délicieux ! Mais il faut absolument tester la babka ! Nous y reviendrons pour sûr !
Pas de possibilité de manger sur place.

This is by far our favourite bakery in Montreal. It was an awesome experience bringing Chris'The Babka King' in for some delicious treats. We tried a lot of different desserts. The one that is our absolute favourite is the Chocolate Russian Babka.

I adore old-world bakeries & have several favorites all over the country. I stumbled on Cheskie, & it smelled heavenly inside, & I felt like I had hit the jackpot! I bought $30 worth of goodies (which buys you a lot here), & I was giddy to try them all. I truly wanted to love this place, but the truth is, I ended up throwing away every single item after a couple bites (except one-the jam sandwich cookie was marvelous). Everything was kind of flavorless, & their black-&-white cookie wasn't even as good as the ones you can buy at grocery stores in New York. Their chocolate babka really broke my heart, it was so doughy in the center we had to throw out the whole loaf. :(

Totally worth the stop. Classic Eastern European baked goods done right-no frills, just quality. The babka & cheese crown were great, but the cheesecake was incredible. Best I've had-so good I bought three!
