Review Summary

Hof Kelsten is described as a standout bakery with buttery, flaky croissants and a broad range of viennoiserie and savory pastries, with the chocolate babka and zaatar torsade frequently highlighted and rugelach noted when available as exceptional. Matzoh ball soup and the egg salad sandwich are repeatedly praised, and the bread and pastries are often regarded as reliable or excellent across visits, with some reviewers noting the cafe quality like full bodied coffee. The space can feel limited for eating in, with seating mostly stools or standing room, though the atmosphere and service are generally friendly; a few comments mention language barriers or uneven attentiveness. While a few reviewers compare value and price to other bakeries, the consensus remains that Hof Kelsten earns a place on many Montreal lists and is worth multiple visits for those seeking variety and technical pastry perfection.

Petite boulangerie avec de merveilleux produits (pains, viennoiseries). Ils font aussi brunch & offrent du café. Les produits sont originaux & frais!
Par contre, le nombre de place est vraiment limité pour manger (brunch) & le personnel à la caisse n'est pas très sympathique.

Les pâtisseries sont toujours incroyables, avec des nouvelles saveurs qui se renouvellent & piquent toujours ma curiosité. Aussi, le café n'a rien à envier aux autres cafés du coin. Mention très honorable au sandwich déjeuner qui offre un rapport qualité-prix extrêmement satisfaisant.

Service au top chez Hof Kelsten : hyper réactif, super sympa, & une odeur à tomber. L'expresso que j'ai pris était incroyable, digne des meilleurs cafés scandinaves. Un vrai must !

I enjoyed the coffee so much! It's been a while since I had a latte with acidity. Milk foam on top & latte art was perfect. The cafe smelled of fresh bread! I tried the baguette, croissant, & a few pastries; they were good overall. I had hoped the croissant would be a bit more crunchy, but the overall experience was nice with friendly staff. Highly recommend

It's an addiction. J'y vais le plus souvent possible pour manger leur sandwich au gravlax & déguster un délicieux café. Probablement l'un des meilleurs café @ Montréal!
