What an incredible surprise! The blueberry pastry was absolutely amazing. The pastry itself was incredibly light & fluffy, & inside was the freshest blueberry jam the perfect taste not sugary & well balanced.
Honestly, everything we tried was insane quality, especially for the price. It costs about the same as any other pastry shop, but the pastries feel truly exceptional. The Paris-Brest, croissants, & every flavour we tried were delicious: pistachio, almond, blueberry, chocolate, & especially the coffee croissant, which was unreal.
This place is most definitely underrated. An absolute gem!
Such a lovely bakery. Everything was fresh, delicious & beautifully made. The blueberry croissant was one of the most delicious pastries I've ever had. Fresh, flaky, & filled with the perfect amount of blueberries. Pain au chocolate was perfect too. The lemon cake was moist & tasty. You can taste the fine quality of butter in every bite. The staff is sweet & welcoming. Must visit when in Montreal
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.
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.
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.
Heard good things, so paid a visit. Ordered a few pastries, including the Cube au Chocolat & Caramel, the Mangue, Fruit de la Passion, & Noix de Coco, & the Pistache & Framboise. It was difficult to choose because several of them looked interesting. We enjoyed all 3, quite a bit. I loved the Raspberry one, but we both really loved the Chocolate & Caramel cube. I enjoy pastries, & occasionally indulge. I have tried a variety from different locations (including Italian, French, & middle Eastern bakeries), & I can certainly recognize the quality of the pastries from Farine & Cacao. If they aren't the absolute best I've ever had, they're certainly the best I can remember, & certainly, easily, one of the best. A lot of times, pastries look great, but taste kind of generic, or are too sweet - these ones had us both sitting there not speaking, because we were distracted by the flavors & textures. We are going to go back & try some other ones. Thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommended for those who enjoy fine pastries. Also, the staff were the loveliest people. Very friendly & helpful.

I quite enjoyed my yuzu citrus tart. The hot chocolate felt a little weak but it might have been due to the tart.
Had a raspberry croissant & quite enjoyed it.
