This place is seriously awesome ! The selection of goodies is quite good, the staff very friendly & pleasant. I went there to try their croissant, I started with the chocolate one & the raspberry. I was not disapointed, the texture was perfect & the fillings we're generous & flavourful. Best croissants in montreal so far, I'll go back to try more of their baked goods.

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. 🥐

We ordered:

Pizza

Panini with chicken, bacon, tomato, & cheese

Croissant with spinach omelette

Chocolate cake

Café latte

Iced black hot chocolate

We ate everything in the store, but it was too hot inside.
They heated up the food before serving. I had the croissant, chocolate cake, & café latte. Everything was so delicious! The croissant was bigger than ones from other bakeries.

The prices were also very reasonable.

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. :)

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..
