Croissant Monkland draws a loyal crowd with top notch croissants and a wide range of pastries and breads, with almond croissant, pain au chocolat, raspberry and Nutella croissants often singled out for freshness and flavor. The baked goods are fresh, flaky and buttery, made with care, and the aroma of butter greets visitors on entry. The place is noted for reasonable prices and friendly service, and it is praised as a must visit for pastry lovers, sometimes even compared favorably to Paris and North American standards. Busy weekends bring long lines and limited seating, and a few reviews mention the small space and entrance steps as barriers, along with occasional inconsistencies or hygiene concerns. Coffee is generally acceptable but not the main draw, while the pastries and other treats remain the highlight of visits.
These people know how to make croissant. You walk in & the smell of butter just hits you in the face, it's so amazing.
They do not cheap out on the butter. It's about butter. It's so buttery. It's so delicious. It's baked perfectly. Butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter.
Highly recommend.
(It's true the coffee is just ok, but I don't go there for the coffee)
One of the best if not the best croissant in montreal. From plain to Nutella, Nutella to pistachio, raspberry you name it. They sell in regular size & mini. Always so fresh & flaky. Make sure to go early so you can try then warm & see the full selection as some run out throughout the morning. Highly recommended spot a must try for anyone in the NDG area or afar. I would even go as far & say' better then many Ive tried in Paris!!'
Funny, ive known this place for years driving without stopping. Man! I should've stopped before. Their croissants are fantastic! I recommend this place highly!
I highly recommend Croissant Monkland. Their croissants (by far the best ones in NDG), pastries, pies, cakes... are just'super delicious'! & try also their divine'crème brûlée'!!! Staff is great & you will not find better prices for this quality in the entire hood. Long live Croissant Monkland, the best bakery in NDG!
Underrated..Croissants are delicious! Highly recommend. I bought some frozen ones for the holidays & cooked them at home They were a huge hit! A large assortment of sandwiches .
Their croissants are indeed really good. Buttery, big, flaky, & fresh! I also got a cinnamon roll here which was also so so good! Literally when you walk to the door you can smell the bakery. The location itself is simple, but the pastries are amazing. Highly highly recommend as they are up there with the best croissants in all of Montréal from Boulangerie de Froment & de Sève bakery.

This is a darling, local gem! The croissants are the perfect blend of sweet & savory. Many bakeries just add a ton of sugar to make up for a lack of complexity or sometimes overdo it on both. Yet, Croissant Monkland strikes the balance. It's always nice to stop in, but I'm a bit of a ways away & order online once a week. Online orders are quick & consistent, only twice has an order been screwed up but even then, still delicious. Highly recommend - especially if you're a chocolate lover: the chocolatine aumande croissants are dangerous!
