The heyday of Bete a Pain was definitely pre-COVID, but even then, while it had all the elements of a truly top notch bakery, somehow those elements never came together. The proof is in their better-than-average pastries & better-than-average breads that were just that - better than average, despite the amount of self-publicized expertise & crafts that went into their products. Bete a Pain is just that - a better than average bakery.View more

Was looking forward to their fig bread. Not sure why they added rosemary to it as it doesn't go well with the fig & in fact overpowers it. Was disappointing as we make sure to drop by whenever we are in Montreal. Anise & fig or fig alone would have been better.
Our friends had the croissant ham & cheese sandwich as well as the lemon meringue. They said those were good.View more

They're pretty busy on the weekends, so there's a little bit of a line to order (for pastries & food/drinks) & a wait. I got a cappuccino, canelé, & the chocolate chip cookie.
Cappuccino: It was good, but nothing really special.
Canelé: It had amazing flavor, the rum really comes through. The inside was custardy & spongy, the tops & bottoms were nice & crunchy, but the sides were a bit chewy & gummy. Overall, a really good canelé.
Cookie: Also really good, filled with chocolate chips but not overly so. It had a really nice butter flavor & was crispy outside, but it's a drier cookie than I'd prefer.
I'd come back for their pastries, but wouldn't go out of my way just for their coffee.View more

I like their pastries & their breakfasts.
Not a great chai latte!View more

The bread is great. Pastry too. Unfortunately the mood of the staff determines the ambience a lot. Sometimes staff is very nice, other days not so much.View more

J'adore votre endroit, la nourriture & j'aurais mis 5 étoiles mais je suis très déçue que votre cuisine ouvre seulement à 9h pour le déjeuner. J'habite à une rue & je dois choisir un autre endroit pour le déjeuner avec mes clients ou collaborateurs. C'est vraiment dommage. C'est tard 9h pour un déjeuner d'affaires. Se serait bien de reviser le tout pour au moins 8h.View more

The avocado on toast was good but nothing out of the ordinary & the eggs were hard boiled not soft boiled. Sadly the service was really bad. Rude baker & even ruder cashier. Plus it’s not very clear the first counter is only for takeaway orders.View more

Les sandwiches sont délicieux! Les potages aussi. Les cafés sont bons, mais j'avoue que j'ai goûté de meilleurs pains & pâtisseries ailleurs. J'aime bien l'endroit qui est assez discret à Griffintown, concept intéressant avec l'accès au magasin Must.View more

I got the almond croissant & cinnamon roll & they were both, dry, dense & way too sweet. I might have gone there on a bad day bad time (evening) but was pretty disappointed anyway. Didn't receive a good service either but wouldn't blame them, it was in the evening.View more

I've been here a handful of times since the location is convenient for me. I originally was only going here to get sourdough bread once a week but then decided to try their food & drinks. I will say, the atmosphere is cozy but depending on the time of gets very busy & hard to find a seat - good things is not everyone lingers & eventually you'll find a seat. What I ordered/Have Tried: Grilled Cheese, Italien Sandwich, Parfait au Yorgurt Grec & drink wise I always get their Vanilla Late with Almond Milk with caramle drizzle. I've tried it cold & hot & both are amazing. I feel like when you dine in, your drink portion is more & when you also dine in to eat, the presentation of the food is great! The staff if friendly & the food comes out to you pretty fast considering how busy it gets. Highly recommend & if you find yourself waiting a long time, just browse the furniture store next door to kill some time lolView more

Delicious homemade apple caramel syrup. Delicious pastries, but not much space to sit. Price very reasonable. 35$ for 3 pastries, 2 flavored lattes & 15% tip. Paris brest: 9.3/10, a bit too rich & sweet but so delicious. Almond croissant: 8.2/10, buttery, flakey & not too sweet. Very good, but perhaps missing a tad something or maybe I just like them a little sweeter. Would definitely recommend. Cinnamon roll: 6.8/10. It's alright, it is beautiful & big, but not enough moisture to my taste. If you like a drier not too sweet roll, this might be great for you. Next time I need to try the grilled cheese, the tiramisu, the croissant & chocolate roll.View more

This is a mediocre bakery with nice atmosphere. Breakfast sandwich was good but other than that it was difficult to find one special item. Croissants were OK but no where close to Automne Boulangerie. Coffee (Americano) was one of the worst I had for years. Overall not impressed with La Bete a Pain.View more

You start your day here & you're destined for great things... OMG everything the bakery pumps out is SPECTACULAR ❤️ ⭐️Croissant au Jambón Hammy flakey heaven with a bechamel that tucks everything into your taste buds! ⭐️Sandwich Dejeuner (Egg Sammy) Eggs so light, cheese is yummy, smoked meat hits the right notes 🎶 & fresh tomato brings it home. ...then there is the case of baked goods as you walk in. Good luck not selecting "one of everything"🤤 10/10 will be back!View more
