Deliciosa la rosca! Hicieron del día de reyes Magos una experiencia muy bonita como en México 💖
Volvería y recomendaría a Carlota por mucho!!
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.
Simply a must visit place. The pan dulce is as good if not better than in Mexico (from a mexican). If you are seeing this in October/November go get pan de muerto. Don't walk, run!
Maybe this is me being a gringo blasfemo but dipping bits of a Carlota concha de chocolate in a frosty mug of milk is my happy place. This would be a top tier panadería anywhere in Mexico. Truly a treasure to have in Montreal given that there's nothing close to this in LA, SD or SF.
Un amour de fille & un too good to go d'exception !! Que viva Mexico !
I don't know if there are any other Mexican bakeries in Montreal, but I doubt anyone can find anything better than Carlota, their pastries are supreme. I had one of the best Pan de Muerto I've had in my life, not even in Mexico you can find something this good.
Tout est d'une qualité exceptionnelle! Ça me rappelle mon enfance, mais avec des saveurs amplifiées & raffinées. Disons que ce n'est pas à la porte pour nous, mais ça vaut amplement le détour! La photo est d'une visite précédente au mois de janvier. Cette fois, nous avons tout mangé en temps record... Gracias por traer los sabores de México a Montreal 🤩
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.
Llegué por las conchas y regreso por los tamales!! Las conchas están deliciosas, las de canela son mis favoritas pero siempre que los visito hay un sabor nuevo que me toca probar. Y los tamales, uffff. Los mejores que he probado fuera de México por mucho.
I tried their beso, polvoron tricolor, pork tamal, & telera. All tasted really good. The flavor & consistency of all of these were the same as they are back in Mexico. The store looked organized & clean. Also, the girl at the counter, Paola, was very sweet & polite.
As someone who was born & raised in Mexico, I can confidently say that Mariana's guava roll is the most freaking delicious Mexican pastry I have tasted in my life.
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
Every single item in there it's just mouth watering, it's like a tiny piece of Mexico in Montreal! Congratulations to the chef, she definitely has succeeded with the original flavours just like in Mexico!!
Thanks you for bring in us our best paestries. súper Quality & flavors in every bite! Muchas gracias por compartir tradición ! Y traernos un pedacito de casa! Viva México ! Viva Carlota !
