Review Summary

Farine & Cacao is widely recognized in Montreal for its visually stunning, artistic, and creatively crafted pastries, chocolates, and viennoiseries. Many visitors praise the balanced, less-sweet flavor profiles and high-quality ingredients, with particular acclaim for the raspberry, pistachio, and gianduja croissants, as well as the yuzu tart. While the service is frequently described as friendly and professional, opinions regarding the value remain divided, as some patrons find the pricing high relative to portion sizes or express disappointment with inconsistent texture and depth of flavor in certain items. Despite mixed reviews regarding overall intensity and complexity, the establishment is often considered a must-visit destination for those who appreciate fine, aesthetically pleasing French-style desserts.

I found this place while I was walking in the area & I wanted to give a try. Everything on the display looks sooo delicious. I tried the small Lemon pie/ Yuzu & I didn't regret my choice because I knew that it was going to be my place to order for my mom b-day' cake'. The pie was so delicious & not too sweet. There's not too much Yuzu dessert in Montréal. I will be back for sure for my next orde

The pistachio & Framboise pastry was actually quite good, especially the raspberry ganache having a nice tartness. But for that price & their reputation I was expecting something much better, other patisseries within Montreal are better.
The rest of the flavours are quite sweet, & although the outside of the pastry presents well, the inside is lacking the usual French cake complexity & unique flavours.
On a side note the chocolate pieces on top are clearly very high quality & was a highlight.

Beautiful cakes, pastries, viennoiseries, chocolate product all made in-house. Award-winning.

The chocolate & nut flavoured cakes are pretty good but the fruit ones are not. The texture of the fruit one I got was unpleasantly gummy. There are other patisseries & chocolatiers in Montreal that are much better & available at a lower price. The store also has a strange musty smell.

La qualité des gâteaux est de 6/10.
Prix très cher 11$ pour un petit gâteau.
Accueil désagréable, employées déplaisantes,
Manque de courtoisie & désir de servir la clientèle. Grossières & très peu serviables.
A ne pas y mettre les pieds
À fuir

The quality of the cakes is 6/10.
Very expensive : $11 for a small cake.
The worst:
Unpleasant welcome, rude staff,
Lack of courtesy & no desire to serve customers. Rude & very unhelpful.

Avoid at all costs.

I went there because of all the TikTok hype, but I ended up disappointed. I had the hazelnut cake & my husband tried the Halloween one. They both looked beautiful, but we found them quite bland, veeeery light in both flavor & aroma. Honestly, if it weren't for the hype & the long lines of people waiting, I'd say it's just a decent cake, maybe even average. I still don't understand what makes it so famous.

I love this café! Truly one of the best in Montreal. The staff are always friendly, it's pet-friendly, & the desserts are beyond praise. Each cake feels like a work of art. Always a five-star experience! This café has completely stolen my heart! ☕?🍮🩵💚💛

Each of their pastries & cakes is a work of art. The flavors are extraordinary. Your taste buds will be stimulated. I tried the croissants & a few of their cakes. They're all flavorful, original, just the right amount of sweetness, & nothing like what you have tried before. The beautiful croissants look beautiful but there's more into it. My favorite are the gianduja, pistachio & raspberry croissants. The best part is that a few days later, they still taste amazing from my fridge! The staff too is amazing. They appear to be enthusiastic about their products & like to give information.
