Croissant Monkland is repeatedly praised as a standout bakery in NDG, Montreal, famous for buttery, flaky croissants and a wide range of fresh pastries with almond croissant and other fillings like Nutella and raspberry often singled out as among the best. The quality is described as consistently high, with many noting the butter-forward approach and fresh-baked aroma, and prices are generally seen as reasonable for the craftsmanship. The shop can feel busy on weekends with long lines and a small seating area, and service is often friendly and efficient, though some reviews mention wait times and occasional inconsistencies or days when freshness varies. Coffee is generally considered decent but not the main draw, while the offerings extend to savories and light lunches and attract both locals and visitors. A few critiques include occasional hygiene concerns in one account and accessibility barriers at the entrance, but overall the place is regarded as a top destination for croissants and pastries in Montreal.
There was still a variety of items available when I visited around 12:30 pm on a Tuesday, though they were running low on a few things. I got the chocolate eclair & the almond croissant.
Chocolate eclair: The ganache on top was fantastic, but the chocolate filling didn't taste like anything, & it was grainy. The choux itself was too soggy. Pretty disappointing overall, wouldn't recommend.
Almond croissant: This was fan-freakin-tastic. It was definitely a few hours old at this point since it was one of only a few left, but magically IT WAS STILL CRISPY & FLAKY. That crust on top, the moist interior, the flavor of the almond paste 🤌 As expected, Croissant Monkland knows how to make a good almond croissant.

Tout simplement trop bon tout est délicieux & que dire du services ont est toujours accueilli avec le sourire. Découvert il y a environ 3 semaines & depuis ça fait au moins 5-6 fois que j'y vais & chaque fois que je passe dans le coin c'est plus fort que moi je dois m'y arrêter. Continuez votre excellent travail.
I again tried the croissant & had fun this time. I ordered a few other items & will update my review.
From my past review: However, I give the two muffin I tried, four & five stars. The croissant with spinach omelet was very good, as was the spinach omelet by itself, & at a good price.
Whenever I'm in the area, I grab a pastry here. I got an almond & a chocolate & almond pastry today. Delicious! I took some olive bread for tomorrow. I haven't tried it yet but it looks & smells good. :)
