For Boulangerie de Froment et de Sève, reviews collectively praise the bakery as a standout Montreal spot for buttery, flaky croissants and original pastries, with many calling the croissants among the best in town and a must visit for authentic French bakery flavors; the scene is described as welcoming, cozy and charming, with a good early-morning start and friendly service, and the selection includes galette des rois, kouign amann and a range of breads and pastries. While the baked goods are repeatedly lauded for quality and butter-rich flavor and textures, several comments note some inconsistencies lately, such as croissants that feel less laminated or a bit oily, occasional misorders or packaging issues, and occasional service hiccups or long lines. Packaging and value are mixed, with some praising generous in-store selections and thoughtful gift platters, while others report disappointing in-store packaging or higher prices. Additional notes mention gluten-free options and a wide assortment beyond croissants, reinforcing the bakery's reputation as a top destination in Montreal, though a few reviews warn that quality and service can vary by day. Overall, the place remains celebrated for its butter croissants and authentic pastries, inviting returns to sample fresh offerings when possible.
A Hidden Gem for Those Who Appreciate Authentic Flavour.
I recently visited this place & was truly impressed. As a lover of croissants, I can confidently say these are some of the best I've ever had. I tried the chocolate croissants & the raspberry croissants-both were absolutely delicious, with an exceptional flavor & an incredibly tender, flaky texture.
This place is a true treasure for anyone seeking original, high-quality baked goods. I will definitely be coming back for more. Thank you so much for your hard work & dedication!

Vraiment dommage.
J'y vais régulièrement depuis plusieurs années & la qualité des viennoiseries devient comparable à celles de l'épicerie. Les croissants & pains au chocolat ne sont pas feuilletés, ils sont plutôt mous & imbibés d'huile. Le croissant à la framboise ne vaut pas la peine non plus, il est petit pour le prix & le coulis de chocolat sur le dessus a un aspect artificiel. J'espère que l'équipe saura améliorer la production pour revenir à des standards acceptables. L'endroit reste cependant très bon pour les gâteaux! Il faut penser à les réserver d'avance, il ne reste parfois plus rien en fin de journée.
Visited on a Sunday & ordered a chocolatine, cheese croissant, chai latte, & a large cappuccino. The pastries tasted defrosted rather than fresh. The chai latte was so sweet it was undrinkable. The large cappuccino cup was only half full. Disappointing overall-won't be coming back
We did a pastry crawl to a few bakeries to try croissants, 1 plain, 1 chocolate, & 1 almond. We got the mini versions here & regret we didn't get the regular sized because these were absolutely delicious & our favorite of the 3 bakeries we visited.
Toujours pris que a emporter. Nous avons délaissé le Petit Paris qui semble avoir perdu en qualité (victime de son succès?..).
Ici les chocolatines & croissants sont excellentes. Généreuse & onctueuses.
Excellente boulangerie de quartier, où les pains sont aussi bons que les viennoiseries & les pâtisseries, ce qui est rare ! Leurs croissants sont une tuerie, ainsi que leurs tartes au citron. Il manque juste des chouquettes & des madeleines avec une coque en chocolat :)
This bakery is incredible-it's a place you definitely shouldn't miss. You can choose from a wide variety of sweet breads, & every single one is delicious. My personal favorites are the "mille-feuilles" & "chocolatines." Highly recommended!
Très bon choix de viennoiseries françaises. La chocolatine (& non le pain au chocolat) aux amandes est excellent, mais faut pas être regardant sur les calories !!! ^^

Voted best croissant in Montreal. Their pastries are really good & made fresh daily. I ordered a hamburger bun & chocolate financier this time. Limited seating, but better than the other location.
Passionné de croissants, j'aime tester les boulangeries & les viennoiseries à MTL sont assez rarement à la hauteur. "Croissant croissant" est vraiment une belle adresse pour ses croissants & pains au chocolat ainsi que son pain au levain. Il me fallait essayer cette boulangerie qui a reçu le prix du meilleur croissant 2023. Ils ont une belle allure (ceux-là sont recourbés) & sont généreux. Après une dizaine de minutes réchauffés au four, ils donnent leur pleine mesure : croustillants avec un bon goût de beurre, on perçoit le feuilletage, belle chair tendre & pas d'excès de gras. La famille a adoré! Il a même suffit d'un par personne (à considérer dans le budget). Le pain au chocolat était bon mais un petit cran au-dessous (manque de croustillant & de force pour le chocolat). Accueil correct. Bravo pour ces merveilleux croissants, je recommande!
Best croissants, not just Montreal, but ever (& I've been to Paris!). The big chocolate croissant is maybe the best thing I've ever eaten. Amazing. Just go here. Merci!!!

Test du mille-feuille validé. L'éclair au chocolat aussi, même avec la deco en plus. viennoiseries bonnes, pain ok. ça en fait ma boulangerie-pâtisserie préférée du quartier.
This place used to have the absolute best chocolatine in the area: literally about 100 grams of dark chocolate ! I went back this morning for another one & as soon as the teller gave me the chocolatine, I knew something was wrong because it was so light... nothing compared to the previous visits when you could feel the dense chocolate in the center. I told them & they exchanged it for another "empty" one... I told them the only reason I was coming to hits place was because of the chocolatine & he insisted that they were the same as usual... I took 2 bites & went back inside to show him that this was a "pseudo-chocolatine: dough with air inside". They offer to exchange it again for another one but I declined since he insisted that they were the same. It is really too bad since it is very hard to find a good chocolatine... their new recipe feels like they now use half of the original quantity of chocolate. Please don't waste your money ! *** Answering to the reply from the owner: I totally understand that there can be variations but this is not the case here. The chocolatine you were selling this morning did not compare to the ones last week: they barely had 2 bites of chocolate in them & the teller can confirm that they felt "empty"/full of air.
We got attracted by the sign claiming "Meilleurs Croissants à Montréal" - bold statement for a bakery located on Le Plateau with so many choices around. This may well be true. The unusually large croissants & chocolatines make for a wonderful French pastries based breakfast. Bonus point for the amount of butter they have in them. We love them!
Pastries, chocolates & food overall are great. Croissants are to die for. BUT for the 4 weeks that we have been coming there the service has been consistently unpleasant in many ways. It's a shame because we love the food :
