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.
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.

Love this place, the vegan options they have might be few (in terms of food) but they are delicious! Thank you so much for the delicious tempeh sandwich while it lasted (I assume it's been replaced by the new vegan blt) & I'm really happy with the new vegan blt that you now offer! Absolutely delicious :)
The vegan quinoa bowl is simple but so tasty! Thank you so much for this recent addition ❤?
I hope to see more vegan patisseries over time but for now the carrot cake & chocolate chip cookies will do :)
Bread is always delicious & changing with the seasons, & most are vegan also!
I come regularly & don't plan on changing that anytime soon :)
Got the orange hot chocolate, brioche du carême, & gluten-free chocolate chip cookie.
Hot chocolate: This was so good! The orange flavor came through, & the hot chocolate itself was thick with a strong semi-dark chocolate flavor.
Brioche du carême: This was just average. Nothing really stood out about this. I could skip it.
Cookie: This was yummy! It was crispy on the outside, but more bready than that of a normal cookie on the inside. Solid cookie overall, even though it's not your traditional cookie.
There wasn't anything from here I'd really crave, but it hits the spot if you want quality bread or desserts. Would definitely grab one of their drinks if I pass by though.
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.

Chocolate almond croissant is just magnifique, a must try!

+ Friendly staff, my French is terribles & they were kind dealing with it!
+ good price for the quality

Seriously go try their chocolate almond croissant, it’s the best one I’ve had in Montreal.
