« Le Toledo » vous dit bonjour et bienvenu chez vous!
Un endroit où il fait bon venir relaxer, à tout moment de la journée de 7 @ 7 et 7/7. Une boulangerie – Bar à café – Cafétéria Urbaine créée par deux amis passionnés, Riccardo et François.
Le Toledo est une boulangerie qui attire par une offre variée de pains artisanaux, viennoiseries et pâtisseries, avec un café de qualité et une ambiance cosy et lumineuse au coeur du Plateau. Les visiteurs louent la fraîcheur des produits, le croquant des croissants et la qualité des pains, ainsi que des spécialités comme le gâteau basque et l'éclair au chocolat, tout en signalant parfois des desserts un peu trop sucrés; quelques retours évoquent aussi des soucis digestifs après certaines galettes. Le cadre est chaleureux et le service globalement agréable, mais l'affluence peut limiter les places assises et rendre la file parfois longue. Les portions et les prix restent raisonnables pour le quartier, et certaines pratiques, comme la réduction des invendus avant la fermeture, sont saluées comme une démarche anti-gaspillage utile pour le budget des clients. En somme, Le Toledo apparaît comme une référence locale pour ceux qui recherchent des pains et des viennoiseries de qualité, avec la possibilité de manger sur place ou d'emporter, tout en restant attentifs à l'affluence et à la constance du service.
Super nice bakery in plateau Mont Royal neighbourhood! Like their live ambiance & the great cafe! If you are looking for a healthy meal & not heavy they have some tomato salad with mozzarella cheese ,that was very refreshing is hot summer days, also I really liked the flan de caramel for dessert. Highly recommended!
My cookie prayers have been answered!!
Due to my food sensitivity to eggs & dairy, it's extremely difficult to find cookies that I can safely enjoy.
TOLEDO's vegan chocolate cookies have answered my prayers!! Not only are they dairy free & egg free, they ACTUALLY taste good. Chewy & chocolatey, just like a good cookie should be!!
Sadly, I only discovered them towards the end of my stay in Montreal. I brought 4 back to Vancouver with me...should have bought more!!!
Le Toledo is a popular bakery on Mont-Royal Avenue, a lively pedestrian street lined with cafés, bakeries, & restaurants. Several locals we met recommended it, & it's easy to see why. The bakery is quite large, with plenty of tables & seating inside, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy your treats on site.
When we visited mid-afternoon, there was a short line, but it moved quickly thanks to the efficient team of staff behind the counter. Everyone was friendly, spoke both French & English, & happily explained the pastries & their ingredients.
Prices are very reasonable: cookies start around $3 CAD, croissants at $2.50 CAD, & pastries like brioche & cinnamon rolls are also available. I ordered a chocolatine (pain au chocolat) for $3.25 CAD & a caramel cream cruffin for $5 CAD. Both were excellent-crispy on the outside, soft & airy on the inside, & full of flavor.
If you're strolling Mont-Royal Avenue, Le Toledo is absolutely worth a stop. Grab a couple pastries to enjoy on the spot or take away-you really can't go wrong here.
Best bakery in the area. Excellent bread, croissants (the chocolatine is only ok), the chocolate chip cookie is mediocre but the caramel one is to die for. The apple turnover is fine. Really you're coming here for the bread, & it's a nice place to sit as well. Always busy, in a good way. Nice staff.
Nice bakery in the Plateau. I was glad to see a lot of locals coming in & out. They certainly are busy. Their workflow reminds me of that at Porto's, the Cuban bakery from Burbank, California. The servers are fast. Come early in the day because they sell out of stuff.
I'm no croissant expert, but the one I had here was better than the one I had at a random cafe the other day. The croissant (CAD$2.50) from Toledo was airy & flaky. I had an iced americano $3.50, & it tasted great as well.
The peach kouign amann $5 was a new thing in August. I enjoyed this the most. It was so dense & not terribly sweet. The focaccia $14 was also really good! It was a large square, & they cut it into two triangles for me. The dough was great. This makes me think their bread must be delicious too. I would try some bread next time.
I bought a package of the vanilla madeleines $6.50, but I didn't really like them. I didn't see other people buying them either, so maybe it's not just me that thinks the madeleines aren't good.
Plenty of seating inside but with non-matching tables & chairs. They have large windows, so the sun makes it hot inside.

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.
If you've ever dreamed of reliving those lazy Parisian mornings-where the scent of fresh croissants mingles with the hum of café chatter-then Boulangerie Le Toledo is your Montreal dream come true.
From the moment you step inside, the air is thick with the aroma of artisan breads & buttery pastries. The vibe? Think cozy corner bistro with a touch of Montreal joie de vivre. The staff are friendly & efficient, & the space is always buzzing with locals & visitors alike.
Now, let's talk highlights. The chausson aux pommes-oh là là! Generous, flaky, & bursting with apple goodness. It's hands-down the best I've had in Canada, & every bite whisks me back to my student days in France, where pastries were a way of life. Pair it with their espresso, which is robust, smooth, & just the right temperature.
But don't stop at the chausson. The croissants are buttery & crisp, the sourdough is chewy perfection, & the sandwiches (especially the bagnat poulet & ciabatta with tuna) are worthy of a Parisian lunch break. The almond croissant? A must-try.
Le Toledo isn't just a bakery, it's a destination. With its communal tables, free WiFi, & sunlit windows, it's the perfect spot to linger with a book or catch up with friends. Whether you're a Montreal local or just passing through, make sure to arrive early!
Final verdict: If you're looking for a reason to fall in love with Le Plateau all over again, this is it. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

Le Toledo Bakery offers a wonderful balance of quality & charm. The croissant with ham, cheese, & béchamel is delicate & full of flavor. Their sourdough bread & hamburger buns are simply outstanding, crafted with care & expertise. A good espresso or cappuccino completes the experience beautifully. The staff is always courteous, attentive, & welcoming. With such excellent quality at fair prices, Le Toledo is a place I would return to without hesitation.

Bakery recommended by friends for croissants. Everything tasted amazing & the matcha latte was frothy perfection. The staff were nice but the ordering process was confusing because they mixed up the names on different orders when calling drinks. I tried the flan hoping it would emulate the Parisian style but my search continues. It was good though. Didn't try the focaccia but it looked excellenttt. I would visit again simply to investigate'lait funky' (goat milk? Camel?)
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
It took some searching to find a good bakery in this part of Montreal, but finally found it! Le Toledo is excellent. Great bread, pastry & coffee. Nice people & great space
