Staff was nice but the cinnamon bun was very underwhelming & dry

Came to pick up around 12:30pm & eat it at home. Since it was super cold outside, I heated up in the oven (covered with foil so it would not dry out) & they were absolutely delicious! Got the classic, pistachio, raspberry & apple. Was honestly surprised by the pistachio, & think it was my favourite, but they all tasted great. The dough was really soft, the frosting was well done & it had a great balance of sugar (not too sweet) which I appreciate.
The woman at the checkout was also friendly & helpful. Will come back more times! 😊

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.

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.
