Absolutely loved this bakery! Everything was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully made, you'd never guess it was vegan unless you were told. The pastries were perfectly balanced (not too sweet), & the variety was impressive. The staff were incredibly friendly, patient, & happy to explain ingredients or make recommendations, which made the experience even better. You can really tell they care about both the food & the customers. I'll definitely be coming back & recommending this place to everyone! The vegan ones are super delicious too! The lady was very friendly & welcoming.
The falafel was fresh & flavorful! It was my 1st time there & I totally recommend it 👌
Seriously, I should of taken only the falafel because I couldn't finish the plate. They have a mini store inside, it's pretty nice & welcoming.
Falafel St Jacques is an absolute gem! The food is incredibly tasty, with every bite bursting with flavor. The falafel, freshly fried to perfectionl, is light, crunchy on the outside, & soft inside.
What makes the experience even better is Mekonen's warm & friendly welcome. He makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
Delicious falafel & the lady in the shop was so so kind. We went here before arriving to the airport & it was the best thing we could have done. Great price quality & super fresh
The Notre Dame lachine up & coming trendy street is larger than the original spot. Tables & chairs inside & outside makes it a pleasant experience with Falafel St Jacques great middle eastern food. Place is exceptionally clean , your food prepared on the spot , many varieties of dishes to choose from & all vegetarian & reasonably priced . Pita & all baked goods & salads are made fresh daily on site , every salad is available individually for take out , as are baked goods & the vegetarian shawarma, etc.
Very fresh food, but some items on the menu are way too expensive. Every time I go, the price of what I order, which is a single large tomato & cucumber salad, goes up. I stopped going when I was charged 18$.
Wanted something to eat that wasn't too sweet or too filling & would be ready quickly, for that time period between lunch & dinner. My lunch that day wasn't very filling so I was already feeling hungry at 4pm (when I picked up my daughter after school). Came upon this place. Clean, modern decor, lots of yummy packaged desserts & a colorful display of veggies/hummus/baba ganoush. Tried the faux chicken platter & it was delicious - like it's better than real chicken!! I'm not a vegetarian but I always try to get more veggies into my diet. Got some beet salad, cucumber salad, hummus, shredded cabbage & some sweet potatoes on the platter. Because of the variety of flavors (& colors) I felt satisfied without feeling bloated/full. I would give this 4.5 stars if I could. I don't usually give 5 stars unless I get consistent quality/experience over at least 2 visits. Anyways, much better & fresher tasting than Boustan/Amir. Very animated & engaged owner/server. This year, I'm making it a goal to only go to mom-pop places as I find the service/quality better & more unique than franchises. Anyways, I am looking forward to visiting again & trying their faux meat platter, faux chicken nuggets & their homemade desserts (I saw them take out a fresh tray of hamantaschens).
