Reviews describe Comète Bake Shop as a calm, tiny bakery with a focus on Japanese sweet and savory bakes, delivering consistently delicious pastries and a warm, friendly vibe from the owners who run an open kitchen. The menu blends delicate, not too sweet items with savory options, and standouts include the curry pan, the matcha melon pan, miso cardamom pastries, yuzu brioche, and mango sesame babka, all praised for quality and balance. The space is small with limited seating and items can sell out, but the overall experience is noted for approachable prices, attentive service, and the sense of a hidden gem in the Plateau. Many reviews highlight how the shop pairs well with coffee and creates a memorable, flavorful exploration of Japanese inspired baked goods, inviting repeat visits.
Very calm & peaceful tiny bakery specializing in Japanese sweet & savoury bakes. I have been several times & always try something new - everything is so good!

Leurs viennoiseries sont exquises, mais malheureusement ils n'en font jamais assez pour durer même la moitié de la journée. Donc aussi tôt que je peux arriver à la boulangerie, je peux rarement goûter à leurs produits :(
I've been to Comète twice & both times the staff were lovely & welcoming. Also appreciate the open kitchen concept & watching them bake.
I love the texture of the buns: soft with a bit of bite & chew. The cookies were my preferred texture of slight crunchy rim with a moist & crumbly centre. All the flavours are more pronounced than what is usually expected of Japanese flavoured pastries that can be too subtle sometimes. It's also not overtly sweet.
I shared a hand poured coffee (on special during weekdays when you buy a dessert) which was smooth & not too bitter. My mom who never drinks black coffee loved it black.
My only critique is the yuzu chocolate bun, the bun itself was little dry.
Highly recommend going early if you want to try one of their viennoiserie as they sell out quick!
J'ai vraiment aimé mon expérience à cette petite boulangerie. C'est réellement une belle découverte pour nous. Merci beaucoup pour votre service chaleureux.
Comète Bake Shop est un hidden jem !!!Accueil chaleureux, belle petite boutique avec belle variété de produits. C'était délicieux & j'ai hâte de retourner. Mon coup de coeur : le financier au matcha 🍵
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.
