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.

Amazing pastries with great flavors & quality! Many tables were full of dishes but probably just a rush they had. I would recommend this place to everyone & I'll be coming back.

Average pastries, nice ambiance. Coffee mediocre. No vegetarian options, EVERYTHING is with gelatin - have we made it to the 21st century yet? Not recommended.

Nice desserts, but it doesn't worth the 10$ each. Matcha tastes like nothing.

Heard about this place on social media, it seems quite popular as they were recently awarded an international pastry prize. We arrived before opening around 9:45AM on Friday September 20th. There was already a couple people in line, we were 3rd. As we got closer to the 10AM opening, a line of about a dozen people formed. Doors opened at 10:05 AM, they were still not done setting up pastries in the display. Only 5 people were allowed entrance at a time due to limited space. First impression is that it looks very elegant, high end, beautiful little cakes & pastries that are almost too pretty to eat. We ordered 4 different cakes: the black forrest cherry, yuzu tart, a chocolate/caramel mousse, & the rapsberry/pistachio cake, along with 2 of their stuffed croissants. Most cakes were around $9 a pop & I believe the croissants were close to $5 each. Considering the small size, these are not cheap. Service wise - there were only 2 employees, they were slow to take the orders & prepare the boxes, which needed to be set up & taped. This should have been done ahead of time as assemblings boxes for all customers on the spot really slowed down the process. I have seen reviews of people waiting upwards of an hour, I can understand why. It takes an average of 5-10 mins per customer, since people always have questions on the products, then take their time choosing & paying. Flavor wise - our favorite was the yuzu tart & raspberry/pistachio cake. The black forrest cherry cake was lacking flavor & seemed kind of wet in the middle. Their cakes are made with real fruit or purees so if you don't eat them right away they tend to get soggy. The croissants were filled with cream inside, they were a bit too heavy & sweet for my liking. Other than aesthetics, I am not sure what is so special about this place - I am not a big cake or pastry connoisseur but I can't say I was blown away. They make a nice gift since they are beautiful & I can tell they are fresh & well made but they cakes were not delicious & not worth the price or wait times.
