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.

Gros coup de coeur absolu ! 🥖
Chez Fred est la meilleure boulangerie que j'ai testée à Montréal. L'ambiance est super agréable. Les gens qui y travaillent sont super accueillants & gentils.
Mais le meilleur, c'est le pain. Que ce soit la baguette ou leurs autres créations, tout est absolument délicieux. Je suis chanceuse d'habiter pas loin !

Edit #1:
I've been a loyal patron since I discovered it via Google. I have absolutely no complaints. Prices are more than reasonable given the quality of their product. I gift my neighbours & friends their wares, & they all are more than appreciative, lauding especially the chocolatins & croissants. I freeze all of what I personally consume, as I am a widower living alone. I've created a cheese & smoked back bacon breakfast croissant that is absolutely phenomenal. Six minutes from freezer to plate in a 425° oven. It's sinfully delicious. I have enjoyed many of their baguettes & breads, without disappointment. Freezing & rejuvenating them with a spray of water & a hot oven makes them return to their freshly baked state.

A café, well rated, recently opened in my neighbourhood. I decided to try a few of their baked wares. This morning I made my cheese/bacon concoction & it was disappointing. The croissant was large, but quite mealy & without any butter flavour. It was also more expensive. I should have known better.'If it ain't broke don't fix it.' The grass is definitely not greener on the other side. Other than relocating to Paris or Lyon, Chez Fred will earn my undying patronage forever.

After reading boulangerie Chez Fred reviews on Google, I thought I'd give it a try, as I would be in the neighborhood. I bought some croissants, choclatines, viennoiseres & bread to share with my friends. Croissants had a great flaky crust & a buttery, doughy & chewy consistency. Not quite the flaky, buttery layers of dough that I usually get in Paris, but equally enjoyable in another sense. The choclatine dough had similar qualities, & it compared quite favorably to another of my favorite Montréal bakeries. I gave away all the rest, so I'll have to await feedback from the recipients. So far, I'm impressed & will likely be spoiling some more friends with treats in which they wouldn't otherwise indulge.

Kouign-amann was great, it wasn't the classic Kouign-Amann but very good. Baguettes are very good as well

Les sandwiches au poulet avec la complotée d'oignons sont très bons (la baguette est une véritable baguette comme on les fait en France). Les croissants aux amandes aussi 😍 Je recommande chaudement cette boulangerie !

Great bakery for all your needs. Croissants (several flavors), baguettes, breads including sourdough. Their ready made sandwiches are also fresh & tasty. I had the breakfast sandwich, hala bread, regular & chocolate croissants. Just the aroma as you enter makes you wanna buy everything on the menu.

Amazing, couldn’t even take any pictures because my partner & I would eat ( baguette, croissants, etc) when we got home!

Service is amazing, quick & efficient!

Get there early because they run out pretty fast. I tend to go right when they open to avoid the line up.

Since we live right around the corner, we make it a weekend event.

Love the work that’s being done !!
