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.
Overall, Boulangerie Le Toledo is seen as a vibrant bakery with a large and evolving selection of breads, pastries, and a small cafe where both savory and sweet options shine; many reviews praise the freshness and quality of items like focaccia, fougasse, croissants, brioche, and the almond croissant, and bread is repeatedly described as standout while the coffee is solid. The pastry case draws compliments for rich fillings and buttery textures, though a few experiences note issues such as a galette des rois tasting frozen or a pastry dough that seems short on butter, and some croissants with a firmer texture rather than the hoped flaky bite. Service is frequently described as friendly and attentive, with a warm vibe and quick service, yet a couple of comments point to occasional rudeness at the coffee counter and to busy weekend crowds with limited seating. Vegan and seasonal offerings are a plus, including vegan cookies, bowls, and a vegan BLT, and there are consistently praised breads like rye and sourdough and the signature baguette. While prices are sometimes cited as high for the value, many feel the quality and freshness justify it and keep customers returning for bread, pastries, and a reliable coffee fix.
Beautiful bakery with so many yummy options! There's new focaccia every day & they have so many options of bread & pastries to choose from. If you're in the mood for savoury or sweet, there's so many options to try! We had the genoa focaccia 10/10 recommend, really big portion sizes & was a great texture. They also have a cafe so you can get a full breakfast or even pop by for some caffeine to get through the day. I will definitely be coming back there was so much variety I need to try more!
Give this place a miss if the idea of lining up for bread in postwar current-day Canada doesn't float your boat. The bakery in the old bank up the street will set you up with some awesome product within minutes & you'll be home for Christmas.
Was in the area waiting to meet someone, & thought I would grab a quick bite at this bakery.
I bought an assortment of 6 pastries but they charged me tax. After asking about why I had to pay tax when Quebec has a law that states when you buy 6 or more pastries, there is no tax, the cashier said it was only tax free if I bought 6 of the exact same product. I had never seen this from any other bakery before.
Regardless, the pastries are really expensive for what you get & did not stand out in particular compared to other bakeries. I ended up spending around 41 dollars for 6 pastries & a coffee which is just crazy for mid level stuff.
On top of this, one of the girls working in the coffee stall was very rude when I asked if my latte was ready after I came back from buying pastries.
Finally, there is almost nowhere to sit. Only around 8 seats total. All these factors just left a bad taste in my mouth. I won't be back.
Absolutely superb bakery. It's my go-to for all sorts of things, but I'm especially obsessed with their focaccia & their fougasse aux olives. You really can't go wrong with any of their bakery items, & the service is tremendous to boot.
However, I can't really recommend their coffee! Every time I've ordered it I've found it quite unpleasant, I don't really know why. It may be a matter of personal taste, but, with so many other cafés in the area, I wouldn't say it's worth the risk.
ADDITIONAL LIST OF GREAT BAKED GOODS I, A RANDOM INDIVIDUAL, RECOMMEND:
• Carachoc - indulgent & rich, the sprinkle of salt on top brings it all together beautifully.
• Vegan chocolate chip cookie - soft, but lightly crunchy on the inside, evidently made with high-quality chocolate.
• Pain suisse - decadent & sweet, the cream pairs beautifully with their pastry dough.
• Brownie - a classic you can't go wrong with. Really packs a punch with just how rich it is, & the hazelnuts really elevate it.
• Almond Croissant - people already sing it's praises in other reviews, you don't need to hear it from me.
• Flan - whether it's the classic, pistachio or the vanilla flan, they're all remarkably good. The custard is super silky smooth.
• Chocolate-covered madeleine - a little pricey, but super yummy. Very sweet & indulgent, while also being pillowy soft.
• Brioche Loaf- TO DIE FOR! It gets torn to shreds & devoured as soon as I get home.
& I wish to give an honourable mention to a non-baked good item: their quinoa salads. Shockingly good!
You can choose to take my recommendations to heart or not. Either way, I'm sure you'll find something you like.
Great bakery the French baguette is authentic there & the pastry quality is very good with a great dose of butter & very well knead you can see that the croissants are with lots of bubble holes which is sign of quality. I also tried the nuts bread with a delicate sour flavor due to their special flour.
I will definetly come back to try some of their cakes too. There is as well as small coffee shop at the back of the shop. The place is quite busy on weekend but the line goes quite fast
Most bakers in North American can't get rye bread as good as in Germany. This bakery does it all. The rye bread, the traditional French baguette & the pastries are all amazing. Even my German girlfriend who is a bread snob approves!
The olive bread was dry probably two days old, the Lorraine quiche was average & the apple pastry ok. Since it was my first time , I'll look elsewhere as it's all about freshness when going to a bakery..
Great bakery to get coissant, chocaltine (pain au chocolate), pain a raison, & much much more. They have very interesting breakfast pastries & seasonal options like maple pastries. They also have pate & other savory items to create a wonderful picnic, don't forget their amazing baguette. The croissants are very good, crunchy on the outside & buttery inside. The chocaltine needed a little.ore chocolate but it was very good too. There is also a coffee bar in the bakery & a few tables/counter by the window.
Came in for a coffee & some croissants. Got an iced coffee & tried the plain croissant, the almond croissant & the chocolate almond croissant. They were all very good. The plain croissant was very flakey with many layers, you can taste the butter, it was so good! The almond & chocolate almond croissants were very tasty as well, not too sweet with a great texture. The bakery has a variety of pastries & fresh bread. They have picnic benches outside. Service was good. Would recommend.

Royal in the Plateau), is incredibly helpful & friendly let alone knowledgeable. Ask them any questions & they will steer you in the right direction.

During our stay in Montreal, we decided to visit this bakery conveniently located just below our apartment. The initial welcome was warm, & we had the chance to try various items such as croissants & hot sandwiches. However, the young woman at the cashier was not very smiley & did not ask us if we wanted to take our purchases to go or enjoy them on site, which was our intention. That's the only negative point I have to mention about our visit.
