Review Summary

Gâteau Brise is widely regarded as a hidden gem for its diverse selection of fresh, high-quality Chinese pastries and cakes. Many customers appreciate that the desserts, including popular options like the durian and strawberry shortcake, are light, flavorful, and notably less sweet than traditional alternatives. While the experience is often described as an efficient pick-up service with professional packaging, opinions on the staff's warmth and current pricing remain mixed. Despite some concerns regarding rising costs and portion sizes, the bakery continues to be a favorite destination for those seeking creative, well-crafted treats in a convenient downtown location.

best Chinese bakery in downtown Montreal!
I'm obsessed with stopping by & picking up little buns or mochi snacks. They have a crazy variety & everything tastes fresh!
Cakes can be made to order when ordered ahead of time. Customer service was perfect. They provide all the utensils to serve & the packaging is professionally done. Needless the say the cake was also delicious! 10/10

Delicious bakery I've been to on several occasions! I especially loved their strawberry shortcake. Topped with fresh strawberries, creamy & not too sweet. The strawberry jam they put in the centre was unreal.

Best cakes. Not too sweet, & they have a secret goodness. I always get all my cakes here. I used to go to the one in Brossard on the south shore.

I bought a birthday cake from here. The texture of the cream & the sponge were so weird, it has a plastic like texture. I ended up throwing the cake in the garbage.

Very good Chinese pastries with a creative twist. As others have said, this bakery is a hidden gem. Definitely worth a visit!

J'adore leur gâteau pas trop sucré & léger, très mignon & abordable.

Ils ont beaucoup de saveurs disponibles autant dans le chocolat/vanille ou des saveurs fruités.

Je n'ai pas tout goûté, mais à date j'ai aimé:
- gâteau au marron/châtaigne
- mochi cakes
- strawberry shortcake
- osmanthus cake (léger goût de thé)
- tiramisu

Vous pouvez également commander en ligne pour un ramassage, super pratique. Je recommande cet endroit. Il y a une succursale à Brossard également.

Bonne boulangerie chinoise avec une grande variété de brioches délicieuses. Bon rapport qualité-prix & produits frais. Le service peut parfois sembler un peu réservé ou hésitant, mais l'expérience demeure globalement très positive.
