Farine & Cacao impresses with beautifully crafted pastries, elegant presentation, and inventive flavors that many reviewers rate among the best in Montreal and even Canada, with the staff often described as friendly and attentive. Prices are frequently noted as high and several items are cited as not living up to the cost, including croissants that feel ordinary, desserts that are bland or overly sweet, and some experiences with texture. Nevertheless, standout items are repeatedly mentioned, such as the Paris Brest and the yuzu tart, as well as chocolate and pistachio croissants, with many praising the visual appeal, delicate balance of flavors, and the sense of luxury. The ambiance is described as refined and cozy, with pre-ordering available to secure favorites. Overall, Farine & Cacao offers a high quality patisserie experience with artful desserts, but there is debate about value for money.
Ça c'est de la pâtisserie haute gamme. L'harmonie des saveurs, la légèreté des pâtes à chou & feuilletée est un grand plaisir à savourer. Tous comme un vin haut de gamme on doit déguster ces pâtisseries occasionnellement pour éviter à nos papilles de s'habituer.
Les pâtisseries étaient délicieuses. Vraiment parmis les meilleurs de Montréal. Ce n'est pas trop sucré, le goût est recherché & le mélange des saveurs est parfois surprenant mais délicieux. Il n'y avait aucune file quand nous y sommes allés vers 16h. Le point négatif est l'ambiance de la salle à manger qui est un peu froide & manque de chaleur pour y avoir vraiment envie de s'y poser.

Dans les meilleurs pâtisseries de montréal, mission accomplie. Ingrédients de qualités honnêtement c'est excellent. Le croissant au framboise étais tellement bon & un coup de coeur pour la pâtisserie fruit de la passion & chocolat noisette. Je vais retourné pour essayer tous les autres croissant & pâtisserie que je n'es pas pu essayer.
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.
Les pâtisseries sont originales, mais elles sont très chères. 9cad pour une (plutôt petite) pâtisserie qui goûte bon mais sans être exceptionnelle. Heureux d'avoir essayé mais je n'y retournerai pas.
Love their pastries, especially their croissants. Apparently, there can be long lines because they won an international price, but every time I have been service had been fast & efficient. It is not cheap, but it is reflected in the quality of the ingredients & food. They have a nice spot to grab a cup of coffee & catch up with a friend. I like that their pastries are seasonal & on rotation. But honestly the croissants are a must try!
Every item is done & presented really well, price is high but for the quality it's absolutely worth it, super cozy interior & nice staff, will come back for sure!
Très bonne patisserie. J'ai adoré leur tartelette choco pacane & leur croissant framboise. Les serveurs sont très gentils. J'ai apprécié mon expérience. Je reviendrai sans aucun doute
Not as knock-down-amazing as the recent press would indicate, I've had much better in France but this is probably as close as you're going to get in Montréal. I enjoyed the filled croissant much better than I enjoyed the pastry but everything is gorgeous & the service is impeccably polite. I wouldn't wait in line to go here but I would come back for a croissant & a coffee.
I love pastries. I used to visit the best pastries ot France & belgium : Michalak, hermé, conticcini, ... i miss them. But here comes Farine & Cacao. Simply put : by far the best pastries of Montreal.
Some of the best pastries I've ever had, especially the raspberry & pistachio croissants. Bring a friend, so you can taste a few things!!! Also, considering how incredible the food is, it's very reasonably priced. I've paid a lot more for a lot worse! Highly recommend, & I'll definitely be back again!

La file d'attente s'explique par leur réputation en ligne (nommé sur La Liste, Pastry Discovery Gem Award, soulignant les adresses à découvrir qui ne sont pas nécessairement situées dans des rues hyper-centrales). Avec la qualité des pâtisseries, la file demeurera sûrement dans le temps jusqu'à la prochaine "liste"!) tous les gâteaux sont dignes d'une distinction. Pour les viennoiseries, je recommande le croissant choco-praliné qui se démarque. Le croissant & la chocolatine (pain au chocolat pour les Français...) sont bons, mais il y en a des bons ailleurs aussi donc faites pas la file juste pour ça, n'achetez que ce qui se mange tout de suite pour apprécier leur fraîcheur!
I just had some croissants & chocolatine with my kids & they're spot on crunchy on outside & very soft & fluffy inside !! & the lady who served us is super super friendly wish I knew her name. Loved my experience
