Reviews describe Hof Kelsten as a top bakery with a wide range of pastries and savory items, from buttery croissants and flaky pastries to chocolate babka and zaatar torsade, plus strong coffee and well made cortados; the sandwiches, including gravlax and egg salad, and the matzoh ball soup are frequently praised, along with rugelach and other pastries; service is generally quick and friendly, though seating is limited to a few tables and stools; some notes mention price and occasional inconsistencies in bread or availability, and a few comments touch on language or service nuance; overall the place is celebrated for quality and variety, with many calling it among the best croissants in Montreal and a reliable destination for pastry lovers.
I had really high expectations for the croissants here, as they were recommended by so many people. The butter croissant I had was flaky, but unfortunately was so salty.
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 genuinely cannot say this about any other place I've ever or currently frequent: everything is good. Pick anything off the menu, try any pastry or bread, it's all good.
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!
Ça fait un petit moment que j'y suis pas allé. Malheureusement ils ont changé un peu leur recette dernièrement. Leur croissant un peu changé. Reste toujours bon mais ils étaient meilleur avant.
I passed by once & ordered a babka to go, it was so delicious I decided to go back for dine in during breakfast/brunch later & loved it too. Staff is friendly & food was delicious.
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.
Excellentes viennoiseries (je dirais même les meilleures à Montréal)... Quand vous avez la chance d'en trouver! À 10h n'importe quel jour de la semaine, il n'y en a plus. On se demande pourquoi ils ne finissent pas par augmenter la production... Service devenu très médiocre également, aucun sourire & difficulté à communiquer. Devenu vraiment décevant, dommage.
Je suis venu pour testé le pain Challah, j'ai été surpris de le voir sur l'étalage & non dans des sacs en plastique. Il m'a été ensuite servi avec un sac en papier. Le problème c'est que ça devient alors très sec en quelques heures ..
