Reviews for Boulangerie Jarry highlight a craft focused bakery where bread, viennoiseries and pastries are made with house milled flour from a stone mill, delivering a notable butter forward profile in the croissants and a broad range of breads, pastries and desserts that includes cannelés, kouign amann and vegan options that some say taste excellent when warmed briefly. The croissants and almond variants are repeatedly praised for their richness and generous fillings, while the pastry selection and the aroma of fresh dough draw in crowds, with many comparing the croissant quality to the Paris scene. The atmosphere is described as welcoming and the venue spacious at times, with many noting friendly and attentive service, though others report inconsistent service, slower waits or less warm interactions during busy times. Freshness can vary from day to day, with some reviews noting daily pricing reflects the day's stock and a few items tasting less vibrant or lacking a punch of flavor, such as a galette frangipane or a canelé that was not warmed. On the positive side, the bakery earns praise for vegan offerings, a strong selection of sandwiches and apéro options, and a sense of good value given the quality, with some patrons declaring it the best bakery in Montreal and a favorite neighborhood staple. Overall, Boulangerie Jarry is seen as a go to for artisanal bread and pastry lovers, offering a wide menu and reliable favorites, while experiences can vary with service and freshness on certain days.
All -round amazing bakery! The staff is very kind & super serviceable. The bread is delicious, & there is a wide variety of sandwiches to choose from, all fresh & tasty. I love having this bakery in the neighbourhood. I really recommend it!
Recently the male staff (the new hires) are not as considerate. The tall blonde guy from last year is very sweet. But the new men, they have a strange attitude. Especially with children, they are not considerate. They were rude to me because I did not know where to throw the food , but also trying to handle two young children.
Amazing bakery! I got the Suisse pastry, it was so good. I would get the chocolate almond croissant next time! & looked like they had great food as well!

I have to seriously stop myself from coming here every day. I live just a few blocks away, & this is by far the best bakery in the neighborhood. Their croissants are out of this world-easily the closest I've had to the ones in Paris. I'm also obsessed with their almond croissants, choco-amande, & torsade au chocolat. I haven't even tried the pastries yet because I can't resist getting a croissant every single time.
The staff is always warm & welcoming. I've only spoken to them in French, but I've seen them kindly serve English-speaking customers without any rudeness or shift in tone. That's always refreshing to see these days.
Highly recommend if you're looking for a go-to bakery in Villeray.
I discovered this bakery thanks to my best friend, & honestly, I was so pleasantly surprised! The decor is beautiful, & the smell of freshly baked dough coming straight out of the oven is just irresistible. The place is spacious & has such a cozy vibe. As students, my best friend & I love coming here to study because it's quiet,& of course, everything from the croissants to the cookies is full of flavor.
I used to live next door to this bakery for a year & it was a go to. Now I live further & still go back when I can to get their pains première arrivant, baguette & their croissants!
Our first trip to Montreal, we were in a hurry looking for a cake for my brother's birthday. As we found Boulangerie Jarry the closest bakery to our homestay, we are just lucky to be at the right place. Excellent atmosphere, customer service & friendly staff & last but not least, the Tiramisu cake was mind blowing & delicious. Jeremy is the man! He went beyond our expectation & did a fantastic job in preparing the cake beautifully & saving it for us despite us being late an hour for pickup! Will surely return to Boulangerie Jarry again & recommend others to visit here
Visited Jarry Bakery for my wife's birthday cake & we were blown away! The tiramisu cake was fresh & absolutely delicious, a real crowd-pleaser. Plus, their croissants were superb, with the perfect flakiness & buttery taste. Highly recommend Jarry Bakery for anyone craving quality baked goods in the area. It's a must-try!

This is a small, tucked away venue, but it felt like I was back in Paris, France(not Ontario, never been). The scents of delicious baked goods including bread, pastries, quiches & more. They are everything a wonderfilled gourmet deli/bakery should be...
Nice bakery, great croissant. Loved the whole wheat bread with variety of nuts on it! I'll come back again! Also vegetarian sandwiches are so tasty! Highly recommended!

Best bakery in the neighborhood! Their Croque Monsieur sandwiches are to die for, & their coffee is perfectly made. They have a massive selection of breads, cakes, sandwiches, & pastries - all reasonably priced. The small sizes for their drinks are quite generous! There's also a very cozy back area with seating, as well as bar seating along the streetside windows, which makes it a great place to go for lunch!
