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.

This boulangerie is always busy, which says a lot about the quality of their bread & pastries. Everything is consistently fresh & delicious, & the prices are very reasonable for what you get. The employees are always nice, welcoming, & efficient, even during busy hours.
If you're looking for a cozy café where you can sit & relax for a long time, this might not be the spot. While you can sit & enjoy your food, it's more of a grab-&-go kind of place.
Definitely come here if you're craving excellent pastries & bread-you won't be disappointed.

Oh man the coffee...
I got an oat latte expecting creamy goodness, but all I got was sour disappointment

Pastries are good though

Amazing bread & pastries. Their Galette des Rois was fantastic, although seasonal. The service is great as well, efficient & always under control, even in rush!

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.

I stopped by after being recommended by a local Healthcare practitioner. Glad I did! The coffee was excellent & the pastries even better. :)

Great croissants. Good breads. Overpriced pastries. Some good servers, but the rotation is so constant that you are always with someone who is training & there is a long line-up. But it's usually worth it & it will move moderately fast. Very strange opening & closing times. Always schedules keep changing. Watch for new ones on the door.
