Review Summary

Reviews describe Boulangerie Chez Fred as a standout for croissants, choclatines and other viennoiseries, with many calling the croissants among the best in Montreal and praising flaky, buttery textures, while prices are noted as reasonable for the quality. The bakery is consistently busy with fresh pastries and good bread, and staff are frequently described as friendly and efficient, though the space leans more toward grab-and-go than a long sit-down cafe. Some reviews mention occasional declines in texture or flavor and changes in ingredients, and a few disappointments such as a sour coffee or mealy croissants when not freshly baked, and almond croissants that run out, yet several commenters emphasize the value and reliability for pastries, baguettes and desserts, with many considering it a must-visit.

They ran out of their apparently popular almond croissants, but their plain ones are quite good. The simple egg & cheese sandwich was the best! Chou options were alright

Great coffee & a tasty almond croissant. Also got a bag of madeleines to go - fresh & light.

Chez Fred used to have the best pastries in Montréal without a doubt. Now, like many other similar places, it's hit or miss. Croissants & chocolatines can be bready & dry. An almond croissant was hard. The service was never great but the quality of the product made up for it.

The best almond croissants I've ever had out of the 5-6 popular bakeries in Montreal. The almond filling is very custardy & doesn't have the artificial almond flavoring that I sometimes tasted in an almond croissant. Their butter croissants are lacking a little bit of flakiness, but are very buttery so they are still pretty decent overall.

Possibly the best croissants (plain & almond) in Montreal, possibly better than Paris. My father comes expressly for it😊 Let's not discuss how much butter is in them.

Had the pleasure of trying their almond croissant & madeleine. Te croissant was warm when we received them & tasted phenomenal. Highly recommend this bakery looking for a nice treat.
