Review Summary

Reviews describe Chez Potier as a refined pastry destination where artful presentation meets exceptional taste, and the shop doubles as an epicerie gourmande with European goods. Pastries such as croissants, mille feuille, fraisier, galette des rois, amandines and canneles are repeatedly praised for quality and texture, with many calling the selection among the best in Montreal or even North America. Standouts include the lemon tart, a rose lychee dessert, and other creations, while the in house hot chocolate and coffee receive high marks. The space is clean, elegant and inviting, though seating is limited and take out is often recommended. Service can vary, with some reviewers finding staff friendly and attentive and others noting a chilly or overly formal tone on certain visits. Prices are high but described as worth it for the quality, and changes to portions have drawn mixed reactions; there is also a rare safety concern noted about a cake. Overall, this destination is seen as a standout pastry spot that many return to for pastry connoisseurship and gift shopping alike.

On va se le dire pour le moment j'ai goûté le pain suisse & l'eclair vanille .... je ne me souviens pas d'avoir mangé une pâtisserie aussi bonne que ce soit l'une ou l'autre.
Venant de l'ancien monde'france' je pensais connaître les pâtisseries.... ben je me trompais bien solide.

Honnêtement, c'est cher, mais vraiment bon. Ça a vraiment un goût uniquement bon, donc ça me dérange pas de payer pour quelque chose qui vaut la peine. Je recommande!!

Je suis passé en début de semaine après la foule des travailleurs du matin. Pour avoir pris un café & goûté à quelques viennoiseries, je peux comprendre pourquoi il y a la lignée les week-ends-comme si nous étions chez Ladurée !

UPDATE: they reached out to me to apologize for the issues & reimbursed me for the chocolate plate. I ordered a pecan chocolate cake. The cake was delicious & beautifully made. I have had cakes from there before & they have been fabulous. My family has loved the cakes too. So for the quality of the food - I would give 5 stars. However, there were two things on my recent experience that made me remove the two stars: 1) I ordered via the website & given its a milestone for a loved one, I requested a personalized message on the cake (which was 5$). The website states a 40 character maximum so, I took the extra effort to make sure my message was less that than that & submitted the order. The business gave me the courtesy to call me however, they told me my message was too long & they would need me to cut the message down or pay an extra $5 for an additional personalized message. I accepted to cut the message down even though it was not my error & as customer I really shouldn't have had to pay a penny extra for what they promised on their website. I mentioned this to the gentleman at the till when I went to pick up the cake. He accepted my comment but I am unsure as a business if they will do anything about it. If you choose to take the personalized message option when ordering a cake, I'd recommend keeping it shorter than 20 characters or call them to ask them what they can accommodate to not disappoint yourself as a future customer. 2) The actual message was not written to what I would have expected. The message was supposed to be "Aging like fine wine". What the cake seems like its written is "Aging LIME fine wine" & not very very clear. We had a laugh about it & it goes in our books as a funny meme. However, if you are very particular, I would be cautious on the personalized message. I've also shared some photos. I would like to reiterate the cake was fantastic in taste & all my previous experiences here have been decent. The two above points are the reason I took away the 2 other stars.

5/5 I don't usually like pastry here as it could get too sweet to me, but I am so glad I live a little far away from this pastry shop otherwise I would probably go everyday. Give it a try if you haven't.

The patisseries were good, but small & way overpriced. I know many place that offer the same quality (& some better), but half the price. two very small pastries came to $25!!!

Je fais partie des oiseaux qui ont acheté le crâne spécial Halloween, alors la coque en chocolat était bien trop épaisse & la garniture manquait de saveur & on en parle de la petite taille & surtout du prix à presque 40 dollars ? Mr Potier vend ces créations beaucoup plus chères que les grands noms (souvent champions du Monde) de la pâtisserie française à Paris. Mais ce qui me fait changer de crèmerie, & me fait passer d'une note de 5 étoiles à la note de 2 étoiles, c'est que depuis plusieurs fois j'ai remarqué l'habitude du personnel désastreuses sur les réseaux sociaux & en boutique & surtout venant de la grande dame au cheveux court qui est hautaine & snob & du coup les employés ont la même attitude, (quoi qu'en 2 ans, j'en ai vu défiler des visages,( il faut se poser des questions), en tout cas pour moi, c'est l'habitude de trop, & là je me trouve une autre pâtisserie je vais du coup faire des économies.
