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
One of the best Paris-Brest I have ever had, loved the pistache & framboise dessert too. I will definitely be back & try their delicious looking croissants. I also tried their almond croissant & I was delightful not too sweet & very creamy. Great service & pleasant to talk to the staff. Definitely recommend this place & it's worth the price.

« J'ai acheté une boîte dégustation & mon palais a littéralement explosé devant des combinaisons de saveurs que je n'avais jamais goûtées. Dessert parfaitement équilibré, 100 % sans sucre, avec un goût unique & mémorable.
Je recommande fortement. Merci pour cette expérience exceptionnelle.
I've seen the review about Farine & Cacao saying the desserts were not bad, & I agree to some extent. I tried a praline dessert that was actually quite good.
However, I found the croissants very ordinary & didn't enjoy them. We ordered a galette des rois, which was appreciated taste-wise, but it was very, very small for the price, in my opinion. It was decent overall, so I feel a bit mixed, but I would still give Farine & Cacao another chance.
The strawberry & pistachio filled croissants were disappointing; I didn't find the flavors very tasty. The hot chocolate was really not good.
Coup de coeur pour l'entremet poire/chocolat & le croissant à la crème de pistache.
Service très courtois & attentionné.
Le pâtissier (souriant & agréable) a très bien expliqué toutes les compostions des différents desserts.
Merci!
Great desserts! Beautiful designs & interesting taste pairing. Very convenient pre-ordering. This is a must if you want to secure what you want before it sells out.
Tout est fabuleux chez Farine & Cacao: les desserts somptueux, ni trop riches, ni trop sucrés, les viennoiseries (notamment les magnifiques croissants colorés & fourrés), le chocolat (les pastilles sont à goûter absolument)!
On se sent privilégiée d'avoir un si beau gâteau d'anniversaire quand il vient de cette pâtisserie!

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! ☕?🍮🩵💚💛
Je me suis rendu à cette adresse à quelques reprises, les desserts sont très mousseux & délicieux, le cube chocolat & caramel étant mon préféré. Les desserts avec des fruits sont clairement fait avec des ingrédients frais & de qualité, mais ce n'est pas vraiment mon truc. Le meilleur est leur pain au morceaux de chocolat auquel je donnerai 12/10.
La pâtisserie farine & cacao est un vrai régal ! Leurs créations, des classiques aux desserts originaux, sont d'une qualité exceptionnelle & délicieusement équilibrées. L'accueil est chaleureux, & chaque visite est une expérience gourmande inoubliable. Je recommande le croissant pistache !!
Très,très déçu. J'ai lu un article en ligne "L'une des meilleures pâtisserie au monde" & j'ai décidé de l'essayer. Les desserts sont très chers à 9$ & les croissants sont à 3,5$. Si c'est bon, il n'y a pas de problème. L'aspect du dessert n'a pas suscité mon envie de le manger. J'ai acheté un croissant car l'aspect n'était pas mauvais, mais le goût était décevant si vous le vendez 3,5$, il faudrait au moins mettre assez de beurre , l'âme du coissant c'est le beurre... Prix qualité Je donne 2 étoiles

Got there right when they were opening there was a lineup to get in. It's a nice little cafe with a few tables & a terrasse at the back. We tried the pistachio, raspberry & hazelnut croissants & chocolatine. It's on the thicker side & not too crispy. There was a hint of pistachio flavour, but it's the one that had the most filling. There was barely any hazelnut filling in the hazelnut one. The raspberry one tasted the best. The little sour taste gave it some freshness. The chocolatine, although it was still warm, was just a bit crispy. The matcha latte was good & the cappuccino was alright. I would go back to try their different desserts though. The staff was super friendly. 👍
I saw this place on MTL blog, one of the best patisserie places. I can say this was pleasant surprise. 9$ a dessert 🍨. But it is a coffee place also. They have a terrace in the back. Was a pleasant experience. The mango dessert was interesting but I think my favorite was the raspberry cake. Wish there was more variety when I was there. The service was great & very friendly.
