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 best horchata I've had in Montreal-hands down! Prices are very reasonable, & the portions are generous. Quality is top-notch. I'll definitely be coming back anytime I'm in the area!
This place is a gem. Absolutely delicious & authentic Oaxaca pastries, great coffees, horchata & Mexican hot chocolate. Incredibly friendly service & they will explain all of their delicious treats to you. Definitely worth a visit!
Such a beautiful quaint Mexican bakery with delicious pan dulce & a flavorful dirty horchata! Friendly service all around! I look forward to visiting again!
Really a hidden gem, stumbled upon it with absolutely no regrets. The dirty horchata is delicious & the service is sincerely incredible!
Tout était déliceux: la pâtisserie aux ananas & fromage, le petit pain de maïs, le tamal haricots & fromage, le café horchata (à mon avis, un peu trop de glace cependant). Service attentionné & bien joyeux! Merci à la boulangerie Carlota pour ce beau & savoureux moment!
Los garibaldis son deliciosos, el pan de mole y especialmente el agua de horchata en el verano es maravillosa!!
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!
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
Enchanting local bakery, very fresh products & super friendly service. The staff took time to explain what they had on display, they are clearly quite passionate about their craft. The rajas y queso tamal was fantastic, along with a dirty horchata (horchata with an espresso shot). The guayaba/queso danish was insanely good, & for a more decadent treat, the dulce de leche roll hits the spot, loaded with a copious amount of sweet dulce de leche, to die for!
Very worth the detour, will be going back soon! Muchisimas gracias!
