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.

It’s a good bakery, honestly it’s standard in terms of all its products. Good quality no doubt l, but the prices reflect that so you’re getting an awesome deal. Maybe I am being too harsh as this place is very highly rated in MTL but I personally don’t understand the immense hype. Would give it another try but there are some more awesome bakeries just around the corne

Délicieuses pâtisseries & pains chauds, service accueillant, produits de qualité! Il ne faut pas rater les pains au chocolat, ils sont tous vendus très tôt… mais décadents.

Great bakery near Mount Royal Park. The pretzel was flaky & savory. The brioche my mom got was insanely moist & full of flavor. I ate quite a bit, & I am not really a fan of raisins. I would definitely return here if I came back to Montreal.

I heard about it therefore decided to try it out. It's okay but the croissant was a bit dry & maybe overcooked.

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!
