Les avis convergent pour présenter Croissant Monkland comme une adresse incontournable où les viennoiseries sont fraîches et délicates, avec des croissants beurrés, notamment l'amande et ceux fourrés au Nutella, et une odeur de beurre caractéristique. La variété est impressionnante: croissants, pains au chocolat, baguette, pains multicéréales, tartelettes et autres délices cuits sur place. Le rapport qualité-prix est jugé raisonnable et la fraîcheur ainsi que le soin apporté au façonnage sont largement soulignés. Le lieu est souvent très fréquenté, surtout les weekends, avec une file et un espace limité qui peuvent rendre l'expérience moins confortable; certains suggèrent d'optimiser le service pour les commandes simples. Quelques avis mentionnent des expériences variables sur certains produits et, dans un cas, des préoccupations d'hygiène isolées, mais l'ensemble reste très positif et certains considèrent ce croissant comme l'un des meilleurs de Montréal ou du quartier NDG. En résumé, Croissant Monkland est perçu comme une boulangerie gourmande et fiable, prisée pour la richesse et la qualité de ses viennoiseries et pâtisseries, tout en restant accessible et fréquentée par les amateurs de bonnes bouchées.
This is hands down my number one pastry shop in both Montreal & Toronto. My history with this place goes back many years it's actually where my love for pastries really started. The variety & quality you get here is on another level & honestly something I haven't found anywhere else.
The staff are always friendly & helpful. The shop does get very busy on weekends, & it's common to see a lineup for pastries, which honestly says a lot about how good they are. That said, the seating area & washrooms are quite small for the number of customers they get, so it's not the most comfortable place to hang out during peak times.
My go-to pastries are the classic croissant, almond croissant, & chocolate croissant, but I've tried many other items over the years & loved every single one. Everything is baked fresh, & with the volume of customers they have, pastries don't sit around for long.
Huge shoutout to the bakers seriously amazing work. & lucky are the people who live in this neighborhood & get to have this place so close by. One small note: the coffee is decent, but there's definitely room for improvement.
Overall, an absolute must-visit for pastry lovers. 🥐
I stumbled on this place by pure chance while staying at an Airbnb just a 15-minute walk away. One evening, I was browsing Google Maps to see what was around-& this spot instantly caught my eye. Intrigued, I had to check it out… & I'm so glad I did!
I was in Montreal for 5 days, & once I discovered this place & tried their goodies, I couldn't stay away. I came back every single day-no shame! 😋
My girlfriend & I probably spent around $350 during our stay (& yes, they absolutely deserved every cent). The pastries are next-level delicious. I seriously wish I had two stomachs. 😂
⭐ Top recommendation: the almond croissant-pure heaven! 🥐✨ To this day, I still haven't found a better one anywhere.
Do yourself a favor: GO HERE. SPEND YOUR MONEY. WORTH. EVERY. PENNY. 🙌💯

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.
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. :)
The almond croissant had no volume, was soggy, & the texture was terrible. It tasted awful. The staff put the croissant & blueberry tart in the same paper bag, so the croissant absorbed the blueberry flavor. I bought more than 10 types of bread, but they didn't put them in a shopping bag. Instead, they left 4 small paper bags & a cake box on the counter after I paid & just stared at me. There are far better bakeries in Montreal than this one. Don't go here. I do not recommend it. Le croissant à l'amande n'avait aucune texture, était détrempé, & la texture était horrible. C'était vraiment mauvais. Le personnel a mis le croissant & la tarte aux bleuets dans le même sac en papier, si bien que le croissant a absorbé le goût de bleuet. J'ai acheté plus de 10 sortes de pains, mais ils ne les ont pas mis dans un sac de courses. À la place, ils ont laissé 4 petits sacs en papier & une boîte de gâteau sur le comptoir après le paiement & m'ont juste regardé sans rien dire. Il y a bien de meilleures boulangeries à Montréal que celle-ci. Ne venez pas ici. Je ne recommande pas.
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.
