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.
J'ai découvert l'enseigne lors de l'événement du salon du chocolat. Ce fut une belle surprise ! J'ai eu l'occasion de goûter aux viennoiseries notamment au croissant gianduja, j'en rêve encore tellement c'était délicieux ! Je recommande ce lieu à 200%

Wow un endroit chaleureux & rempli de belles trouvailles à découvrir, que ce soit pour une sortie en couple, en famille, entre amis(es) ou encore seul(e)! C'est la place calme, paisible & accueillant à essayer! Ils ont d'innombrables pâtisseries insane donc le fameux croissant à la framboise fourré à la crème aux baies une vraie dinguerie ! Voilà je le recommande à tous
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!
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.
Une des meilleures pâtisseries à Montréal & au Canada. Excellentes pâtisseries, viennoiseries 🥐 & gâteaux délicieux, originaux & d'une très grande qualité. Ça vaut le détour!
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.
Très belle découverte, une équipe au top, autant au service que les pâtissiers que j ai eu la chance de croiser.
Les pâtisserie & viennoiseries sont exceptionnels sans parler de leurs chocolats un vrai délice. Je recommande d y aller y prendre une petite douceur vous ne le regretterez pas. Merci encore
