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.
Great croissants & savoury treats at an excellent price. Staff are extremely friendly & warm up pastries if requested. Their POS machine also doesn't ask for tips which I'm very happy to see! This has become rare even for counter service establishments.
The best butter croissants I've had out of the 5-6 most popular bakeries in Montreal. Their croissants are flaky, buttery, & so airy. I also tried their almond croissants & they are pretty good too, the only thing is the almond crust on the top makes them a little sweeter than my liking. Quiche is alright- I've had better.
I usually don't have time to do reviews, but in this case I had to. This place has the BEST MILLEFEUILLE I had in the last 19 years I have been living in Montreal. It was just perfection. Strongly recommended.

I always wanted to come in this place, passing by quite often. It was very pretty inside & they had a lot of nice pastries. I got a bunch for about 34$ which is very good in my opinion. The mousse au chocolate & framboise, lemon tart, & baguettes were all good. The service could bave been a bit better, as they were jumping back & forth, but it's probably how busy they are.
I tried croissant with hot chocolate, food is fine. however server didn't put much thought into us dining in, as they were closing in 1 hour. No plates or tissues provided..
