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.

Wow. Amazing Babka's Amazing Cheese Crowns. So good

I visited this morning & had to leave a review. The quality of food was amazing. This was the first time I have tried chocolate babka & was blown away. It was rich, chocolatey, sweet. I honestly want to head back up there before I leave Montreal to bring some back home to Toronto.
I will return someday. This was on my list of places to visit in Montreal & it definitely did not disappoint.

It has definitely earned its moniker as a local institution. The crowns are second to none & the chocolate babka is a must have. Most of what they make here is pretty good. I've had some issues with being sold a box full of stale rogolach & cannoli. I also witnessed a bearded man get harassed in store by a different client & he was not reprimanded nor was the victim offered anything as compensation, the staff pretended like it was not happening.

Best bakery in Montreal Let me specify. The donuts & the babka. The donuts: For my personal taste, simplicity is best. Which seems like an easy obstacle to overcome, but this isn't the case. Most donut shops produce a donut that is too oily, to sweet, not crispy, too much of a cake texture. This is not the case for the cheskie chocolate donut. It makes me think of the New York classic chocolate glaze donut. Simple, crispy exterior, soft & gooey interior the perfect blend. The chocolate glaze actually tastes like chocolate. & the thickness of the glaze is sufficient. The babka A unique & tasty treat. I read some of the other reviews here indicating the sweetness. It's a fact. They are very sweet, rich, dense, & delicious. I brought the babka to my Christmas dinner & they were a hit, & you don't need so much to quench that sweet tooth. So yeah technically very sweet, but you just can't or shouldn't eat too much of it. Anyway, taste for yourself

This place gets super busy but the line goes really quick. Came here to try the babka as per recommendation by the locals. It's quite rich & sweet for my liking but good for the ones who loves sweets

The baked goods are very good. Amazing babka! Also, i got a little chocolate thing that I thought was a brownie with nuts, & it was so much better than I thought it would be. It was mostly chocolate & had some salty peanuts in it. I wish i had gotten more than one.

I bought the chocolate Babka & there was way too much chocolate that I had to unfortunately throw it. Sadly will not be coming back.

The absolute best babka on the planet. There's a lineup for a reason & it's worth every single minute of waiting. Pastries are fresh & delicious, the cheesecake crowns are to die for, & their chocolate rugellach is out of this world. Actually, everything there is delicious! Looking forward to the holidays just for their honey cake. It's the best I've ever had. Does not disappoint ever!

Great bakery/ pastry. Best Babka in Montreal

It looks vintage, the cheesecake tasted so sweet due to the milk chocolate double glaze, the ruglagh was tastless, & it was so messy to eat the chocolate babka that tasted just fine.

I don't even know where to start. I've never had chocolate babka before. But I know in my heart of hearts this is, by a considerable margin, the best chocolate babka I could possibly hope to have anywhere on earth. I sat on a bench on the corner of Park & Bernard & my eyes welled up with tears of joy & pure, unadulterated delight. I had to muster unspeakable amounts of willpower to not finish $18 worth of chocolate babka in one sitting. The ladies at the cash were friendly, helpful, & knowledgeable. What an amazing gem of a place. Thank you. I'll be back.
