Boulangerie Cheskie is widely praised as a top Montreal bakery for traditional Eastern European Jewish baked goods, with the babka (especially chocolate and cinnamon) and cheese crowns repeatedly highlighted as standout items. The selection includes a wide range of pastries, cookies, rugelach, croissants, cakes, and even savory sandwiches, with many noting fresh, high quality ingredients and a rich butter aroma. The atmosphere is described as cozy and welcoming, the space bright and modern in the newer location, and the service often fast and friendly, though a few reviews note uneven experiences. Late hours and good value for money are frequently mentioned, and many see the bakery as a reliable go-to for a late night treat or a special occasion. Several reviewers compare it favorably to other well known Jewish bakeries, calling it a must visit and one of the best in town, even as lines can be long for popular items. While the core offerings receive high praise, a minority mention that some items can be overly sweet or doughy and a few notes point to inconsistent service. Overall, Boulangerie Cheskie is regarded as a beloved institution in Montreal for authentic kosher pastries, exceptional babkas, and a comforting, high quality experience that brings visitors back again and again.

The moment you step into this bakery, the warm aroma of butter, sugar, & freshly baked bread instantly sets the tone. Everything on display looks inviting, clearly made with care & a passion for quality. The bread is exceptional while the croissants are perfectly flaky, light, & rich with buttery layers.
The sweet treats are just as memorable. Cakes are moist & balanced, cookies have crisp edges with soft centers, & fruit tarts taste fresh & vibrant. Even the simplest pastries feel special, thanks to excellent ingredients & expert baking.
Beyond the food, the atmosphere is cozy & welcoming. The staff are friendly, attentive, & genuinely enthusiastic about what they serve. This bakery is more than a stop for pastries; it's a comforting experience that leaves you satisfied & eager to return.

My valise is full of desserts. Worth flying to Montreal just to come here.Where else can you get a little pastry for $.75 that is super fresh & delicious.

2.0

Disappointing, honestly. Too sweet, & it felt like it was covering a'stale' taste (as if the pastry was not fresh). Considering the overall score I expected a lot more. As another reviewer said, there are way better bakeries in MTL than this one.

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!
