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.

I had a friend who hyped up this bakery & their small cheesecakes. When I bought three of their cheesecake crowns, all of them were really dry & it didn't have that savory strong cheesecake flavour. Didn't live up to the hype when I visited.

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!

Lines are long for a good reason. Their cheese crowns & chocolate bubka in particular, are beyond description.

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!

A little bakery filled with wonderful goodies for a very reasonable price! I loved the cheese crown & the apple cake, but found rugelahs to be a bit too sweet (even though I've got such a sweet tooth!). Still, I'd love to go back to try other items! The servers were not friendly or helpful - they looked rather bored/tired. Could it be that I annoyed them because I obviously didn't fit in + wanted to ask questions? I wonder.

There's magic being made in that kitchen. I've been going for years & not only do they never disappoint, but they exceed expectations. The pastries are top drawer. I'm partial to the cheese crowns, but it really is l'embarras du choix as I wait to order. The onion crackers have always proved a hit, too. Whenever I have brought them to a gathering, everyone just kept returning additively for more. Montreal is very lucky to have Cheskie. But, now that I heard how Trump's victory was celebrated by free cookies to customers, I will not be going back.

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.

J'adore ! Je recommande surtout le rugelach aux graines de pavot & les cheese crowns. Les prix sont très justes aussi

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!
