Local bakery with good bagels & croissants.
The bagels are a little different from New York-style bagels-the outside is noticeably crispier, which I really enjoyed.

The croissant breakfast sandwich was also excellent & made for a great breakfast.

We liked the bagels so much that we ended up getting some extra to take with us.
Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for good bread & pastries in Montreal.

If you can't get here by 10am don't bother. Have been 4-5 times. This time went at 1145. 3 pastries that tasted like they had been dunked in water. No crisp, no crunch, just mooshy soggy bad.

I will never again visit Montreal without stopping at this bakery. Absolutely fantastic. I learned about it because the restaurant we visited carried their pastries & had to check it out. The best selection of savoury pastries I think I have ever seen! & the chocolate babka is insanely good. I've only ever had good babka in New York City but now also here. & the zaatar twist pastry & everywhere pastry were both awesome. An absolute must! We ate a couple of pastries in & then some to go for the road home. Can't recommend enough.

If you want to have fresh pastries they don't have it here. They serve cold pastries okay I understand they made them early in the morning but at least warm them up, they don't even have microwave for costumers to warm them up, cold & dull. Try somewhere else. Disappointed ☹?

I had wanted to come here for a while so i was so excited to finally get the chance. Initial thought: great customer service, friendly aura. Music loud though lol. Interior is nice at a glance but kind of dingy? Maybe theyre going for that worn in look idk but the eating areas left a bit to be desired.
I came after 3 pm so the selection of pastries was small! Only like 6 options.
Chose the ricotta & sesame pastry. 4.80. Erm. Yeah plateau prices i guess wow. It was fine but the main thing was that there was no way to heat it up. what? Ngl that's never been an issue with a cafe for me so i was kind of surprised & ate it whatever nothing to cry about but it wouldve helped lol. Pastry was fine, didn't taste any ricotta so ill assume its kneaded into the dough..? Not bad! Wouldnt order it again though as they have many other options i'd want to try :)

Secretly one of the best bakeries in Montreal. Their mocha is actually really good, using their signature chocolate sauce rather than mixing in hot chocolate powder. All the pastries are incredible, especially the babka.

I finally got to try this specialty bakery & it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh & delicious, from the pastries to the sandwiches & even the coffee was well prepared. Service was quick & welcoming. Will definitely be back!

Amazing bakery all around. Buttery croissants & pastries that are all top notch. Great Matzoh ball soup, breakfast & brisket sandwiches are both excellent. Loved the muffins & the savory pastries too. Seating is limited & other than a few tables it's mostly stools or standing room. Worth it for the food & good service.
