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.
Très bon croissant & viennoiseries. Cependant très déçu du café, que l'on a préparé dans une tasse sale. Demande non respectée j'avais demandé un cappuccino j'ai eu un latte. Sinon bonne viennoiserie

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.
Pas une boulangerie a Montreal qui peu dire que ses croissants , ses browmies, les.sandwichs son meilleur que ici, pour avoir ete dans toutes les boulangeries sois disant les meilleurs de Montreal avec des certifications.. Chez Fred , cest imbatable!
Une boulangerie avec des pains & des viennoiseries excellentes à des prix abordables. It attracts a steady stream of people & some might stay to talk over coffee. No fancy decor instead local art is displayed. The youth learns to make bread & deliver polite service. I find this place enchanting & a breath of fresh air. Swing by grab a pastry & spend a little time soaking in the energy. A soothing experience.
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.
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.
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.
Croissant was so buttery & was crispy. I really liked how buttery & rich it was. Maybe others will find this as a con.
As for the sour dough it was really good & it tasted perfect!
