Boulangerie Chez Fred

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.

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.

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.

A breath of fresh air for Sherbrooke west with the demise of the stale gascone . Located close to decarie but worth the short trip . Staff very friendly efficient & accommodating. Everything is done fresh daily with highest quality ingredients , selection is not big but of outstanding quality. Selection is not big , but it's the best French bakery on this side of the Atlantic !!

The apricot danish I got on Friday was flaky, light & crisp while yesterday's was dry & tough. It's unfortunate, the quality has been inconsistent here lately.
