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. 🥐
My sister, familiar with the area, suggested we try this place. Her recommendation was well-founded. The pastries we selected were of excellent quality & freshness. The staff was welcoming, & the pricing was reasonable. Parking was conveniently available. I strongly recommend a visit.

First of all the food is fantastic, they have amazing pastries & baked goods. The reason i'm rating them so low however is because of some hygiene issues i observed , i've been here twice now in a row where they allowed customers to fully put their hands over the glass casing practically touching the food. the man i just observed doing this leaned his head fully over & was talking over & waving his hands inches from the food, he then sneezed directly into his palm while he was at the cash. I feel very uncomfortable & wish the staff had told him to stop, i understand it's an uncomfortable position to be in but honestly don't know if i'll be going back after seeing that.
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. 🙌💯
Croissant Monkland sells some of the best bread in the neighborhood, which is why I try to go there. Alas, they have two widely-spaced steps in front of the store. This is a barrier for me -- I need a walker to get around. There is a railing, which helps. I try to go with a friend, who can hold the spring-loaded door open while I struggle with the walker.
They offer pastries, both savory & sweet, & very pleasant light lunches.
delicious, fresh baked good & awesome coffee, i wish there was more sizes available for the beverages but the affordable yet delicious pastries & sandwiches makes it worth it, it is always PACKED which says alot about their efficiency & quality (10/10) but i would not recommend dining in because it is a pretty small café.. fortunately right in front of many, nice parcs!
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!
Friendly staff & great pastries! The highlight & go-to item for me is the regular/plain croissant - they are nice & flaky with a good crunch on the outside, & are pillowy soft & airy with the perfect amount of chew texture inside. Perfect!
This place is great, I always stop by when I'm in the neighbourhood, the prices are really fair & their pastries are pretty authentic, love it must try
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 the BEST patisserie & boulangerie we have been to! The staff is very friendly....& the pastries? Out of this world! The croissant almande! The croissant framboise! Crazy good! Everything we had was incredible. & the prices are very fair!
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.
