Café Bazin comes across as a charming and welcoming spot with a strong pastry game and tasty homemade dishes, friendly and courteous staff, and a cozy ambience; accessibility for mobility needs and a pleasant terrace in warm weather are noted, while the coffee is frequently praised as excellent and the Tout Choco dessert is a standout, along with an avocado toast with smoked salmon and egg often hailed as among the best in Montreal; some menu items receive mixed notes, with shakshuka described as lackluster and the pre made smoked salmon bagel not meeting expectations, yet the cafe remains a reliable go to for breakfast and pastries and casual meals, and a playful ambience is found in some locations including a Gringotts inspired vibe near Place des Arts.
Good service. Nice place.
But if you're going to sell a pre-prepared, refrigerated smoked salmon bagel for over $18 in Montreal (no sides!), it better be delicious. This one wasn't. Plenty of better options around town.
My first trip to Cafe Bazin. Having a mobility problem I was very pleased that there was a ramp & on leaving a staff member to help with the door, as we were inside. The staff members were all helpful & very courteous & made me feel welcome. The highlight was the Tout Choco dessert. I have never eaten anything quite so light, but satisfying, & for a chocolate lover it was one of the most amazing desserts I've ever eaten. I will definitely return & bring friends & family.
Used to be my go to pastry/dessert place. Now keep coming back for breakfast. We had croissant sandwich & traditional breakfast plate (2 eggs, bacon, potato, brioche, fruit). Matcha latte is so refreshing! Cozy place but not many seats could get crowded, in summer the nice terrace helps a lot.
This is just one of my absolute favorite. I am always there. Everything is homemade & delicious. & so not expensive for what it is! Their avocado toast with smoked salmon & egg is the best in Montreal. 💞🫶🏼
Beautiful dining room, classy service. Respectful about asking me to liberate a seat as business picked up. Tasty, balanced desserts, not too sweet. Acidic but not under-extracted cappuccino, generous foam.
