Fabulous bakery blending Jewish(ish) flavors with French technique. The babka croissant was phenomenal, as was the ginger cake. Try whatever they have on sample on the counter, you won't be disappointed!

Best oatmeal cookies in Montreal! This hidden little bakery on the Plateau makes exquisite pastries with a friendly smile, & I'm happy to see that it's become very popular recently for coffee or lunch, which is well deserved. Try their white "milk" bread!

Breads, baguettes, & croissants are baked to perfection, not like the doughly supermarket variety. These are up to par with any established European bakery. Their sour dough bread is perfect.

Awesome bakery with unique products & some of the classics. The chocolate chunk biscottis are delicious (to be noted: not Italian kind). Also the challah. I've tried many of their products over time. Today the pesto pizza & latte with coconut milk def didn't disappoint! :-)

Great bread. So so service. Half the time they give me my bread slices in different sections in a bag instead of looking like a whole bread. How hard is it to bag bread correctly. It's a bakery for crying out loud!

Best babka in town!!! My friends go crazy for the Hofs babka & Ruggalach. Freshest bread, tastiest croissants & hands down the best babka. If you are looking for more expansive food options, be sure to sign up for their emails to plan for any delicious dinners you may have coming up that week. An amazing bakery & restaurant to enjoy on your own or with friends & family. 10/10
