I've been coming to this place for over quite some time now, & I love it every single time. As a Mexican who has lived here for over 12 years, & after trying tamales & conchas all over the city, these are by far the most authentic & flavorful. Every time I go, the bread is fresh & the oaxacan hot chocolate is fantastic.
I also love walking in & hearing Spanish being spoken, as well as the warm, familiar sound of strong Spanish accents. It feels like being transported to Mexico. That's how magical this little, cozy boulangerie is.
I particularly appreciate that this place is woman owned & that she hires a diverse workforce & she is transparent about her locally sourced ingredients & recipes. After being a loyal customer for a while, I recently attended one of her pan de muerto workshops with my son, & we absolutely loved it. It wasn't just a baking class; it was also a history lesson with a dose of food chemistry & more. It lasted four hours & was worth every penny.
& to those leaving negative reviews, it's disheartening to see people with Hispanic last names trying to diminish a fellow Hispanic's business in a world where authenticity is scarce. Ignore the bad reviews , get your tamal, order your dirty horchata (coffee with horchata) & buy happy! Park by the high school, no there's no seating (but who cares?! You are there for the food not for the sitting) & as you would with every other bakery go there early! Sharing a pic of the inside of my bread for those who say her bread is bad. It isn't in my eyes.
The only mexican bakery that I actually take some time of my weekend to visit, all the bread is exquisite but the tamales are delicious as well. Really worth the visit if you are into Mexican food.
it makes me so happy to stop here for a sweet treat when I'm in the neighborhood. The staff are always welcoming & kind... pastries are so soft & perfect & taste just like the ones I would get in my favorite bakeries back home :) I recommend to try as many as you can (conchas are a must). There is a variety of other products like coffee, handmade items, food etc. They also do workshops to learn how to make the bread yourself which is really cool, hope I can take one soon! side note the cups are so cute 💖 more people should know about this place, keep up the good work guys
Best Mexican bread & tamales. Love it Service was amazing & the food incredible. Definitely I will go back.
What a beautiful panadería, they create magic by making delightful mexican pastries. I thank Carlota for dignifying mexican bread through love, hard work & authenticity. The textures, flavor, service, impeccable, it is quite an experience out of this world & to be honest I happily state that it is an honor to have Carlota in this magnificent city. I wish them plenty of years of success & happiness. Gracias por sus obras de arte y su generosidad. 🫶🏼
The bread is amazing but they really need to figure out to be more effective at the cash. I'm not impatient in all honesty but the few times I've been there It's super looooooooong every time .
We did a workshop on how to make Pan de Muerto & it was a really beautiful experience. Mariana, the owner, is delightful & not only makes the experience of learning baking fun, but also explains the Mexican history & symbolism behind what you are making. Highly recommend. Our bread turned out beautiful & delicious.
A little piece of Mexico in Montreal! ❤️ What a delicious bread! I tried the pan de muerto, it was definitely like eating it in Mexico, the flavor is amazing, extremely soft. I tried the chocolate one which was amazing. I highly recommend this place. I would definitely go back to try the other options. Ale was at the counter, she is amazing! It was my first time there, she was very friendly & guided me through the options. Great attitude!✨
Carlota Boulangerie Mexicaine in Montreal was a delightful & unexpected find for us as Mexicans. My wife booked a baking class to make Conchas, & while I didn't participate, I got to enjoy the results, & wow, they were the best Conchas I've ever tasted, hands down. The flavor, texture, & authenticity were spot on, bringing back the taste of home in every bite. We also tried some other bread from Carlota, & everything was absolutely delicious. As a Mexican, it's heartwarming to see our gastronomy so well represented abroad. Carlota Boulangerie is a must visit if you're in Montreal & craving an authentic taste of Mexico.
I love this bakery/cafe! Everyone is so friendly & welcoming. Their coffee is delicious & the authentic Mexican pastries are even better. I just had their in house baked rosemary/oregano bread for the first time today & I can't stop eating it. So fresh & full of herbs, I'm obsessed.. 100/10
A must try if you want freshly baked goods, extremely tasty from a friendly staff! It offers a great mix of breads & sweets that differ from the traditional bakery item. Personal favorites were the vanilla concha (think similar to a HK pineapple bun) & the guava cheese danish. Addiction may occur!
Heavenly sweets, the best I've ever tasted. The bread is delicious, has some herbs & spices in it. Place is very clean, very friendly staff. Would definitely go again
Ok, here I go... After at least half a dozen visits to this wonderful place, here is my review. Full disclosure, I am Latino & in love with all things from Mexico. Some flavors here are definitely triggers to my Venezuelan sweet tooth. This small, women owned business, welcoming & neat Mexican bakery is the real representation here in Montreal of the best bakery & boulangerie currently happening in vibrant Mexico City. Not only, Mariana, the owner & brilliant mind behind Carlota, is a real Mexican baker but also she is literally part of a kind of Royalty among bakers back home. She carried with her -from Mexico to Canada- years of experience in the global phenomenon that is now Panadería Rosetta. Here in Carlota you will have the best CONCHAS in town. Their bread is the real thing: baked in place with a hundred years old sourdough starter. Bring home a Telera bread & you will have the best panini ever. She also has a beautiful & delicious brioche made with mole. My favorite! Their guava danish is a must. They also have a delicacy called Garibaldi, very difficult to have outside Mexico. If they have them in your next visit, do yourself a favor & buy two. Honestly everything there is an excellent choice. Do not be afraid to ask questions, the service is outstanding. Their horchata is authentic & very refreshing. Great coffee. Pantry items from Mexico available (vanilla, chocolate, coffee beans). Multiple bus lines nearby. A place to visit multiple times. Oh, I forgot, they will have PAN DE MUERTO since middle September, a delicacy only normally available during October. I am already dying to try their famous one made with Mezcal. Viva el Pan dulce! Viva México!
Best pan de muerto ever ! & excellent bread even better than in México. But I wish they were always open & that they always accepted card payment. The lack of consistency can only hurt this business. People are friendly & the place is nice. But it pisses me off so much that I have gone there & 8 out of 10 times are closed ... even the days they are suppose to be open. & The few times they are open there has been a huge line up, no where to park , no produce , or no INTERAC . Almost as if they don't want to sell. Such a shame for such a great bakery & a great chef. The other day I wanted to promote Carlotas bread with my job colleagues by bringing some bread ... but to my surprise closed again ... & on a Wednesday. I live very far & to waste time & gas & be disappointed & frustrated thinking about the bread & savoiring it on my mind ... find parking & freeze myself .... & noooo bread 😥 bakery closed
A must try! I enjoyed every bite (it lasts quite enough because the pieces of bread are not small). Service is excellent because they describe the bread with so much love & detail 😊 but can turn slow if you are next in line lol Not a lot of variety in the "every day" products, but enough to want to try them all. There are seasonal breads that make the trip worth it. Carlota Boulangerie, you got my heart (stomach), I will be back & absolutely recommend you.
Wonderful people-wonderful authentic tastes! Excellent corn bread & iced horchata on a hot day is a treat. Update-heated horchata drink in winter is great. Multilingual staff could not be more helpful. I keep trying new original creations.
Such a lovely bakery with tasty Mexican breads. I had a concha with vanilla & drank a dirty horchata. They were delicious
