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.

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.

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.

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.

Visited both times I've last been to Montreal.

Quickly becoming my favourite place for sweet treats. Great staff, efficient service, short wait times, all in a lovely neighbourhood.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Love this place !!! If you have a sweet tooth definitely a place you need to stop by. In the other hand the customer service is not very friendly your always rushed & I always get the feeling that the ladies are stressed out .!!

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.
