Comète BAKE SHOP is a tiny, well-loved Japanese bakery in a busy area, with an open kitchen and daily prep that give it a fresh, artisanal vibe and a warm, friendly feel from the staff. Reviews highlight a thoughtful balance of not-too-sweet pastries and inventive savory bites, with standouts like curry pan, matcha melon pan, miso cardamom pastries, and croquettes alongside sweet favorites such as mango black sesame babka and yuzu brioche. The textures are often praised, from pillowy breads to delicate confections, and the coffee pairing is appreciated too. Seating is limited and weekends can be crowded, so arriving early or visiting on weekdays is advised. The bakery was temporarily closed due to a fire and has since reopened, much welcomed by regulars. Overall, it comes across as an authentic, charming bakery that draws guests for multiple items, friendly service, and a distinct Japanese influence in a neighborhood setting.
This shop is the epitome of Japan hidden on a side street in the Plateau. Open kitchen where wares are prepared fresh daily for all to see. Friendly, smiling owner proud of her work. A good variety of not-too-sweet & also savory products that were delicious & unique. Really enjoyed the curry pan & the mango black sesame babka. Vege croquette option also available. You will not regret trying, & a definite repeat!

Super bonne boulangerie!
Le curry pan est incroyable & le sandwich aux oeufs avec la crevette tempura aussi. & que dire de la brioche chocolat Yuzu! En fait, tout est bon & authentique & le service est incroyable. Je recommande!
we ordered everything on the menu & everything was INCREDIBLE! we missed the sandwiches, but got 6 different baked goods. blown away by every singe one! ate most of them too fast to get photos. the owner was super warm & friendly, she was quite amused by us going back for multiple rounds. definitely will be going back (many many times).
Incroyable découverte. Nous avons tout essayé & chaque item était concocté avec attention & raffinement. Nouvel endroit coup de coeur où nous allons assurément retourner.
The pour-over coffee was a darker roast than my preference, but the delicacy & care taken in it's making won me over. The coffee had a complex & subtle flavour I enjoyed that I find uncharacteristic of roasts of that darkness.
The confectionaries were all excellently crafted.
Matcha Melon Pan had delicious, rich jam that paired well with the bitterness of the matcha crust. A stand out for me.
The Cannelle-Anko was tender, & red bean flavour was delicate.
The Cardamom-Miso confectionary was subtle & well balanced.
The chocolate yuzu was tasty - the yuzu flavor was very forward; for me, it slightly overpowered the chocolate. Still, the pastry was delicious.
The 4 items & 2 coffees came to around $25 CAD. The service was great & the atmosphere was quiet. This was around 11:00am, so everything may be even better if they are fresh, earlier in the morning.
Cozy place run by a wonderful couple - pastries with a Japanese twist are delicious & original. The curry pastry stuffed with ground meat makes for a filling meal. The sesame & mango babka is to die for ♥?
Really impressive place. I took a black sesame cookie & a coffee. Both were excellent, & I was impressed that the coffee was prepared with so much care… a nice touch for sure. My friends took a bit of everything else (shrimp sandwich, yuzu & chocolate brioche) & we enjoyed everything. A unique & calm experience - although I can imagine it must get quite crowded when busy.

Voilà plusieurs mois que je voulais essayer ce pâtisserie & quel délice !
Le melonpan m'a vraiment rappelé ce que j'avais pu goûter au Japon ! Je recommande fortement de prendre plusieurs choses pour tester.
Il y a même quelques places pour s'assoir pour déguster sur place
Very cute Japanese bakery in Le Plateau! Staff is very friendly & cinnamon brioche was delicious. We will come back to try the matcha melon pan. One thing to note, store is small with limited seating.
rien a dire sur les produits qui sont tres bien , les saveurs exemplaires, les portions généreuses, j aimerais juste plus de variété & surtout retrouver les excellents pudding japonais au caramel, a bientôt
The buns are so soft & fluffy. The burger was very flavorful. You can taste each layer, the salad, adds some texture & the sauce is great! It was so good, I finished it in a blink of eye, so I also got their stuffed melon pan, which is super yummy too. I wish I lived closer, so I could go often!
They staff are friendly, nice & respectful too!
