A place where it is good to come to relax, at any time of the day of 7 @ 7 and 7/7. A bakery - Coffee bar - Urban cafeteria created by two passionate friends, Riccardo and François.
Le Toledo is described across reviews as a beloved Plateau bakery with a cozy, bright vibe where the air is thick with the scent of artisan breads and buttery pastries, and where the space can feel busy with limited seating. The menu impresses with a broad, high quality range of pastries and breads, including croissants, pain au chocolat, almond croissants, chaussons aux pommes, galettes, tartes, and a variety of savory options like quiches and sandwiches, along with standout focaccia and sourdough. The coffee program is frequently praised, with favorites like lattes, cappuccinos, and espressos. The staff are often described as friendly and efficient, creating a warm on site experience, though some reviews note occasional service hiccups or queueing challenges when peak hours hit. Prices are considered fair for the neighbourhood by many, while a few items are noted as pricey. Sustainability and generosity come through in comments about markdowns on unsold items, and the overall tone is that Le Toledo is a go to spot for locals and visitors who want high quality boulangerie fare, a lively yet cozy atmosphere, and the chance to see bakers at work, with early visits recommended to beat the crowds.
Best bread & pastry in Montreal! I just LOVE the chausson aux pommes & the fougasse aux olives.
Always buying more than I came for!
For take away better go early in the morning to avoid the queue. It gets crowded & noisy during the day, reason why I never sit for a coffee & dessert. The outside sitting is rudimentary; it could be a nice terrace during the summer (maybe due to personnel costs? no interest to maintain it).
The Hot chocolate is average, probably ok for North American standards/ taste.
Such a wonderful boulangerie! Located in the heart of Le Plateau, they truly have everything you could want: beautifully crafted artisanal breads, delicious pastries (including croissants reminiscent of top Paris boulangeries), cakes, & plenty of savory options like quiches & sandwiches.
The coffee is excellent, the staff are friendly, & the atmosphere is both cozy & bright. I love the furniture & how the large windows fill the space with light no matter where you sit.
Just keep in mind that it can get quite busy, & finding a seat might be tricky, even on a Monday afternoon.

Août 2022,
Le Toledo has definitely won my heart!
From the first person who attends you when you enter to the person who prepares you a coffee, all of them with a smile.
But if I want to sin, I go for a Gâteau Basque... for God's sake! .. so delicious! .. is the perfect combination. It has just the right sweetness as well as the butter in its dough & a generous amount of filling with pastry cream & almond powder. It is noted that they use elements of the highest quality. I always combine it with a one shot American coffee, a delicious coffee & in this way it does not invade the taste of the gâteau.
But an image is worth more than a thousand words ....

Opens very early which is kind of unique in the neighbourhood.
Watching fresh bread being baked & amazing French pastries in large portions with tasty coffees is indeed an amazing start of the day!
From the friendly staff to the vast array of baked goods, you can't beat this place. Their artisan bread selection is great. They have various sandwiches in savory items, & every type of coffee you want. But the best part to me were the flaky French pastries, & various cookies they make. In my travels, I visit every French bakery up, possibly can. This place ranks way up at the top level. Add to that, the staff is quite friendly & accommodating with no attitude at all.

My daughters & I visited Montreal for our summer vacation & this is the one place we will miss the most. As croissant & coffee connoisseurs, we all agreed this was the best we've ever had!! We told ourselves that we would force ourselves to try new cafes each day of our 11 day trip but we kept finding ourselves back at Le Toledo every single morning.
Cet endroit est l'un de mes préférés, donc j'hésite à écrire cet avis (je veux toujours avoir de la place pour moi 🥰), mais je suis également ravie de le faire. Tout, vraiment TOUT, est délicieux & tellement frais, de la nourriture au café. Le service est agréable & efficace. J'ai presque toujours été accueillie avec le sourire (& même quand ce n'était pas le cas, ils étaient toujours agréables). Le coin salon est cosy & spacieux. Les immenses fenêtres sont un vrai régal avec toute la lumière qu'elles laissent entrer (surtout en hiver, quand la lumière du jour est limitée). Ils ont un vrai bijou ici.
Je suis désolée de ne pas pouvoir en dire autant de celui de Verdun.
This place is one of my favorites so I'm reluctant to write this review (I want there to always be room for me 🥰) but also happy to write it.
Everything & I mean EV-ERY-THING from the food to the coffee is so delicious & so fresh.
Service is pleasant & efficient. I've almost always been greeted with a smile (& when I wasn't they were still pleasant).
The seating area is cosy/spacious. The huge windows are a treat with all the light they let in (especially in the winter when daylight is so limited)
They've got a real gem here.
Sadly, I can't say the same for the Verdun location.
A really nice place with good coffee & great bread
When I went there were a lot of people but the service was good. I order a latte that was very good & a sandwich, the sandwich was good but not the best, if you want a bistro sandwich it's a really good option.
Apart from that I order a chocolatin & an apple bread, by far my favorite thing in the place.
The place is also super cute, with a cozy, vintage & chill vibe.
I recommend it a lot for the bread, & if you want to go to work or with friends it's a really nice place.
I don't understand this concept. The kitchen with a glass partition is very beautifully made so that guests can see the process, baking, pleasant prices, appetizing pastries & a lot of choices, BUT when I say bakery, I imagine a slightly different comfort, there is also a long table in the middle where people sit with computers, next to it is a small sofa with a very low uncomfortable table. & there is a bench along the walls around the perimeter of the institution. Bench! Without tables or anything, there is nowhere to put the cup.How u can drink coffee & eat same time without table ? Weird. I don't understand it. Every where mess & dirty , The girl didn't take my order till the end & took another customer.Maybe for a quick coffee & something to have a snack, it's a good place, but not for gatherings with friends. Coffee is great & food /pastries are really Not good . How can a bakery not have an oven to heat the pastries
