Croissant Monkland est largement reconnu pour ses croissants et sa vaste sélection de pâtisseries et de pains, avec le croissant amande, le croissant au nutella et les croissants framboise souvent cités pour leur fraîcheur et leur goût. Les viennoiseries sont fraîches, feuilletées et beurrées, préparées avec soin, et l'odeur du beurre accueille les visiteurs à l'entrée. L'endroit est apprécié pour des prix raisonnables et un service sympathique, et il est décrit comme un incontournable pour les amateurs de pâtisserie, parfois même comparé favorablement à Paris et aux standards nord-américains. Les week-ends peuvent être très chargés avec de longues files et un espace limité; certains commentaires évoquent aussi le petit espace et les marches d'entrée comme des obstacles, ainsi que d'éventuelles incohérences ou des soucis d'hygiène. Le café est généralement correct, mais ce n'est pas ce qui attire le plus; ce qui prime ce sont les viennoiseries et les pâtisseries.
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 19 years I have been living in Montreal. It was just perfection. Strongly recommended.
La meilleure boulangerie de NDG ! 🥐 Il y a un tel choix de croissants & de viennoiseries qu'on ne sait pas quoi choisir : tout a l'air tellement appétissant. Tout est frais, feuilleté & délicieux. Les croissants sont vraiment excellents, & il y a plusieurs parfums différents. C'est l'endroit idéal pour prendre un café & une viennoiserie. Je le recommande vivement à tous les habitants du quartier de NDG !

These people know how to make croissant. You walk in & the smell of butter just hits you in the face, it's so amazing.
They do not cheap out on the butter. It's about butter. It's so buttery. It's so delicious. It's baked perfectly. Butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter, butter.
Highly recommend.
(It's true the coffee is just ok, but I don't go there for the coffee)
One of the best if not the best croissant in montreal. From plain to Nutella, Nutella to pistachio, raspberry you name it. They sell in regular size & mini. Always so fresh & flaky. Make sure to go early so you can try then warm & see the full selection as some run out throughout the morning. Highly recommended spot a must try for anyone in the NDG area or afar. I would even go as far & say' better then many Ive tried in Paris!!'

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.
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!
Funny, ive known this place for years driving without stopping. Man! I should've stopped before. Their croissants are fantastic! I recommend this place highly!

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!
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.
Underrated..Croissants are delicious! Highly recommend. I bought some frozen ones for the holidays & cooked them at home They were a huge hit! A large assortment of sandwiches .
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.
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.
