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.
Je suis arrivé 2h30 avant la fermeture pour qu'on m'annonce qu'ils n'avaient plus de cinamon rolls ni de matchas ! Je trouve ça irrespectueux envers la clientèle qui se déplace.
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.
Forte odeur de produits ménagers / javel dans la boutique. C'est un peu gênant pour un commerce de dessert.
Les rolls sont corrects mais rien d'exceptionnel qui justifie le prix.
Je recommande a 100% ca a ete une belle découverte. La qualité des Rolls est excellente. La chose que je dirais de négatif c'est dommage de ne pas avoir où s'asseoir, pour se pausé & manger tranquillement, le seul défaut de la boutique en plus ils vendent du café c'est dommage. Sinon 👌

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

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…
