Creme Mood Artisan reviews describe a mix of highs and lows around its cinnamon buns, with many praising soft, moist dough, generous fillings, and a balanced sweetness, especially raspberry pistachio and classic flavors, while others find some rolls dry, underfilling, or overhyped; several comments note excellent first impressions when opened, yet inconsistency appears in subsequent visits, and some items such as cookies aren’t ready at opening; service is repeatedly described as friendly, but seating is limited and lines or stock shortages can deter; some reports mention a strong cream cheese aroma and premium price, while other posts crown the buns as the best in Montreal and a must try experience; overall the perception ranges from highly enthusiastic to disappointed, hinging on freshness, portioning, and the effort to maintain consistency.
We tried the apple cinnamon roll. While soft, it was a bit doughy & didn't seem to have any apple filling. I'm not sure if they use the same base & just change the toppings, but the flavor would be much better if there had been more apples throughout. The owner was very kind though & the price is fair considering the size of the rolls.

Couldn't find the cinnamon roll like here for so long 😍 the classic is the best! Really soft & gentle. Crème melts in your mouth! & staff is really friendly)
They are open every day till 5:30pm & 7:30pm in the weekends. Apparently, the owner told us that he doesn't own this google page, so they can't change the info.
The cinnamon bun was just okay in my opinion. I got the raspberry one, & while the jam on top was delicious I had hoped it would be spread throughout the cinnamon bun
It was fresh, but it was like eating fresh bread. It didn't have that soft, rich, indulgent melt-in-your-mouth experience one usually looks for in a cinnamon roll.
I've tried Crème Mood twice, & because they're only open a few days a week, I recommend going right at opening since they sell out very fast. My first visit was amazing. I went at 11 a.m. & picked up four different flavours. They were all moist, generously filled, & delicious. The Biscoff roll was my favourite & honestly one of the best cinnamon rolls I've had in Montreal.
My second visit, however, was disappointing. The roll had noticeably less filling & icing, which made it quite dry. I ended up only eating the middle because the outer edges were dry & lacked flavour. It was also frustrating that even though I arrived at opening time, some items (like cookies) weren't ready yet. Afterward, I noticed in other people's photos that many rolls don't seem evenly or generously iced, which makes them look dry & inconsistent.
It's too bad because my first experience was so good. I'm not sure if this was just an off day, but seeing similar issues in other reviews makes the inconsistency more noticeable. Because of that, I'm giving 3.5 stars. If the quality & icing were consistent, this would easily be a 5-star spot.
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.
Je suis venue 3 fois dans la même matinée, sous recommandation du personnel car c'était déjà tout parti. J'ai à chaque fois fait la queue & je suis repartie sans cinnamon roll. Dommage ceux avant moi avaient l'air de se régaler. Il faut anticiper le stock… très décevant de passer des heures sans rien avoir eu…
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.
