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.

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
Amazing quality of bread & pastries & delicious coffee! The staff are helpful, the owner is friendly, & Lisa (not 100% sure of the name tho') the barista was super positive & helped me pick the perfect coffee for my machine. I love this place. ATTENTION; their focaccias are to die for!
& when it snows or rain or even is sunny outside, sitting on their coffee bar & looking at pretty wellington is a charming plus to what is already a perfect experience !
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.

I have been coming to this place in Verdun since it's opened. Excellent food, phenomenal pastries, out of this world bread. I gave Toledo 5 stars except on service, I gave it 4, I could have given it a 3 or less. This would be the first time. When checking out I experienced my "Short Change" or as my friends calls it: Getting the typical "Bar" fast of hand. My order came to $26. & change, I gave the fellow at the cash $40. He give me change for $30. It was busy & he was talking it up to the other patrons. Hey mistakes happen, so I told him I gave him two twenties, he said sorry, still talking it up with other patrons, he gives me a $5 bill. See what happened? It was not a mistake, he was doing the waitress bar hustle. I never had an experience like this at this place, service was always top notch only superseded by the quality of the products. I'm kind of gun shy to go back, knowing it was NOT a mistake but a way to make , at first $10 then $5. Then to top it off, he packed my order in a bag, got my lady friend extra treats for work this week. It was a surprise for her, as we get home I gave her the little surprise, nothing big just a little recognition of all she does for me. & what do I find, I never told her, but was short on two different pastries. Once again it's not the cost it's the principle of it. Hard to take. Too bad such a nice place.
High quality ( & delicious) fresh bread & pastries with friendly service at good prices. They also offer excellent coffee/ matcha, tea, etc. What more do you want?

There are few words that describe how outstanding this bakery is! Everything & I mean everything is perfect!, baked to perfection I salute the baker & his staff. I am so impressed with the quality, & the quality of service & care put into this outstanding place. In addition the prices are modest & not expensive when you realize the quality!! You get what you pay for!
Unfortunately I am only able to give 5 stars & that is why I extend to the staff & management my personal rating of 50 stars 🌟 . There is no competition when you do something so impeccable!
Chocolate almond croissant is just magnifique, a must try!
+ vegetarian/vegan options!
+ Friendly staff, my French is terribles & they were kind dealing with it!
+ good price for the quality
+ good selection of savoury/sweet
- run out of stock quickly
Seriously go try their chocolate almond croissant, it’s the best one I’ve had in Montreal.
