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!
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.

Absolutely stellar experience at Farine & Cacao on Ontario Street! This patisserie-chocolaterie is a true gem in Montreal, offering some of the most beautifully crafted pastries & chocolates you'll find anywhere-inside or outside the city.
What sets Farine & Cacao apart is not just the quality of their sweets, but also the passion behind them. Chef Christian Campos brings global experience & a commitment to minimizing waste & reducing sugar without sacrificing flavor.
The shop has even been recognized internationally, earning a prestigious La Liste Pastry Discovery Gem award-a testament to its world-class offerings.
While the prices are on the higher side, the experience & quality justify the cost for any true pastry lover. The ambiance is cozy & refined, with tables at the back where you can enjoy your treats with a cup of expertly brewed coffee.
If you're looking for a special treat or a memorable spot for afternoon tea, Farine & Cacao is a must-visit. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates fine pastries, beautiful presentation, & a touch of international flair right here in Montreal.
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.
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!
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.
One of the best pastry shops I've been to in Montreal. Very popular & some items may be gone quickly. Recommend coming early for good selections. A small area for dine in also available.
Got there before the store opened & managed to snag the last of the croissants after waiting in line for 1.5 hours. They are average croissants, the only one that truly stood out was the raspberry croissant. The forêt noire pastry is mostly whip cream inside & not worth the hype whatsoever. Does it look pretty? Yes. Will I be back? Absolutely not.
