Boulangerie Guillaume is widely praised for its bread and pastries, with many calling it the best bakery in Montreal. The bread is described as excellent and the croissants and other viennoiseries are often highlighted as standout. Service is consistently friendly and attentive, even when the shop is busy. Several notes mention practical drawbacks such as the absence of a bread slicer, small bags, and occasional price increases or changes after a move to a nearby location. Space for eating on site is limited and some reviewers wish for sturdier reusable bags and more eco friendly packaging. A few patrons mention a dog friendly policy and overall the place remains a go to for fresh and flavorful breads and pastries. Overall the reviews depict a bakery that delivers high quality and variety, with some caveats about pricing, slicing, and space.
Love all the pastries, salty & sweat, so I go there quite often. But today I got a coffee & it smelled & tasted, horribly & terribly, of plastic. Please change your cups, I had to toss it into trash bin!
Came here as part of a food tour & my only disappointment was we couldn't buy more foods to sample (without taking arms full of breads & pastries home!). We ended up ordering some items to our Airbnb before we left Montreal this morning because our food tour ended late & we couldn't go back to purchase anything else!
What we did eat on the tour was delicious though! The Champignon chocolate blanc & vanille was absolutely divine. Would absolutely recommend getting one if you are nearby & also trying a few other things. Please be advised the bakery has moved just down the street but it's well posted on the old building :)
We will definitely be back next time we are in Montreal!
The unfortunate thing is I was actually most excited about this place when visiting MTL. I heard such great things from a friend & I walked over 30 mins to find it. This is sadly an example of more is less, & overproduction = lower quality. The pastries feel very subpar & bland. Almost as if they are making enough to feed the abundance of people coming into the shop but not taking the time to do anything special. I was unfortunately let down by this but they do have a blueberry tart that was a silver lining in all of this
Amazing selection of breads & other baked goodies! They have almost everything you can think of, from the classic pastries & breads to some remarkably innovative combinations. I was incredibly tempted by everything in the display case -- especially since the bakery smells like butter & sugar -- but eventually settled on their white chocolate brioche. The chocolate is mixed into the batter to give the entire roll a slightly sweet flavor, which is delightful when paired with the already soft, pillowy, & buttery brioche. I can't wait to go back & try more of their selection!
Best bakery in Montréal hands down! 🥖✨
Boulangerie Guillaume never disappoints. I picked up the pain brioché & the miche de levain both absolutely divine! The champignon à la vanille & the pralinée pastries were next-level delicious, such unique flavors done perfectly. Also grabbed the pain fesse au fromage… SO good, cheesy, fluffy, just wow. Everything is fresh, flavorful, & made with so much love. A must-visit for any foodie in the city!
Meilleure boulangerie de Montréal, sans hésiter! 🍞💛

I absolutely love Guillaume Bakery! I went there with my nieces, & they became obsessed with the pastries. I also grabbed some croissants for my husband, & he's super picky about croissants, but these are his absolute favorite! Their sourdough bread with dates is my absolute favorite. We literally finished the loaf in one day-it was that good. We keep coming back because everything is consistently delicious, & it's become my go-to bakery. Sometimes I order from Uber Eats when I can't make it there in person. I can't recommend them enough!
Second time there. We are from New Jersey & loaded up the car with a variety of breads & pastries. We had a great lunch & Charlie recommended a place for dinner that was authentic & very good. All of the staff is efficient, knowledgeable, smart! The hot cross buns really excited us. Can't wait to get home & try them!!!
One of my favourite bakeries to get fresh bread!! THE PERFECT bread for toast & one of my fav focaccia to pick up in town! their pastries are always great as well & they're hours are super convenient. Even with being open early until pretty late, the bread is always fresh every time i've visited! It's also super cool to see the bakery part of it a little further down the street :)
This was the 1st stop on our food tour in Montreal, & after the tour was over, we went back for more. What an amazing bakery. I will dream about the pastries here for years to come. Not to be missed if you visit Montreal.
Wonderful bakery!! We tried the cheese croissant, chocolatine & white chocolate vanilla brioche mushroom by recommendation, & they were all soo good!! By far the closest pastries we had in Canada to the ones we had in France. Affordable for the quality of products & also welcoming staff. Absolutely recommend when in Montreal.
