Creme Mood Artisan draws broad interest for its soft, fluffy cinnamon buns with generous fillings and a balance of sweetness, with many praising flavors like raspberry pistachio and Biscoff and some calling it a must try in Montreal; the buns are described as warm, pillowy, and indulgent, and the staff and overall vibe receive positive mentions. Still, reviews note inconsistency across visits, including rolls that are dry or underfilled, uneven icing on top, and some batches that feel less fresh; stock issues and long lines due to limited hours mean most recommend arriving at opening when the selection is best. Some shoppers mention the shop aroma being too strong with cleaning products, while others appreciate the friendly service and the modern shop feel, though multiple reviewers say the price is high for what is offered and that there is no seating inside. The overall impression is a mix of standout flavors and texture on good days, with notable variability and supply challenges that can detract from the experience.
If you're in Montreal & craving a treat that feels like pure joy in pastry form, Crememood's raspberry-pistachio cinnamon bun is an absolute must. This thing is a masterpiece. The bun itself is soft, warm, & cloud-like, with that classic cinnamon swirl that's rich without ever feeling heavy.
But the real magic is on top: a generous layer of vibrant, tangy raspberry topping that tastes like fresh berries simmered into a perfect jam. It's bright, punchy, & balances the sweetness beautifully. Then comes the finishing touch crushed pistachios & a delicate drizzle of pistachio cream adding a subtle nuttiness & a gorgeous contrast in texture.
Every bite is a mix of soft, crunchy, sweet, & tart. It's indulgent, but in the best, most joyful way. Crememood has absolutely nailed the art of elevating a classic; this isn't just a cinnamon bun, it's an experience.
Amazing, delicious, perfect. A 10/10 pastry. @crememood.mtl
I really wanted to love this place, but honestly… it missed the mark for me. I waited an extra 5-10 minutes for the apple crumble cinnamon bun to come out fresh from the oven, & even that one was nothing special. It wasn't gooey, it wasn't flavourful - just okay & very doughy.
The pistachio one was even worse. The girl gave me the one sitting on the counter instead of the fresh batch, & it tasted exactly like that - dry, not fresh, & pretty disappointing. For the price & the hype, I expected something soft, warm, & decadent… not a stale-tasting bun.
The butter caramel was probably the best of the three, but again, nothing wow, nothing memorable. I like my cinnamon rolls to have that gooey, soft center, & honestly? A basic Cinnabon from the mall tastes way better than these.
Overall: nothing special, nothing worth lining up for, & I wouldn't come back. The owner was friendly & staff were nice enough.
First time we walked in they were sold out of buns just after lunch. Tried a cookie & it was good, not too oily. Went back another day & tried the pistachio & biscoff rolls. Soft buns but flavours were just ok
Amazing cinnamon buns 🤩
They were super nice & I love the vibes, definitely going back! I can't even pick which flavor was my favorite because they all had their own unique taste.
