Les avis sur La Bête À Pain mettent en avant une offre de viennoiseries et de pains de qualité et des plats comme des toasts à l'avocat, des sandwiches et des pâtisseries appréciés, les caneles et les éclairs pistache étant souvent cités parmi les favoris et le cafe parfois bon. Mais le service est fréquemment critiqué pour sa lenteur et son manque de chaleur, l'accueil donnant parfois l'impression de deranger et l'ambiance dépendante de l'humeur du personnel. Des soucis pratiques reviennent aussi, comme une interieur parfois trop chaud, des week-ends chargés et un personnel parfois insuffisant, des erreurs d'ardoise ou des plats qui ne correspondent pas exactement à ce qui est annoncé, et des prix eleves pour des portions qui semblent diminuer apres un changement de boulanger. Dans l'ensemble, La Bête À Pain est percue comme une boulangerie-patisserie au potentiel certain, avec des produits qui valent le détour mais une experience qui peut varier selon le moment et le personnel, ce qui pousse certains a tester les articles phares et a revenir pour suivre l'evolution.
Superb ambience & they had some great options for sandwiches & bakery items.
Their avacado toast was amazing but the eclairs I felt were a tad bit too sweet for my liking.
But overall amazing experience. Worth visiting atleast once when you are in Montreal.
This is the kind of cafe & bakery experience we were looking for when we came to Montreal. I can't say enough about how delicious & fresh my mortadella sandwich tasted. It reminded me of some of the best Italian grocery store sandwiches I've had. We came twice during our trip. We enjoyed the food & the croissants so much to start our day.

just went by this morning at 8am
found out only once there, their kitchen doesn't open until 9am
a bit strange for a bakery place
ended up just grabbing a coffee & a croissant
Love this spot at Griffintown, nice bakery-cafe, decent brunch, live atmosphere which you'll enjoy to start your day with a delicious breakfast.
They bake nice breads,weirdly they don`t have slicer,but in general is a nice place. Love the tartine avocet
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.
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.

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!
Very crisp, modern atmosphere to this bakery. It was very busy when I went, not a single comfortable seat available. I tried the breakfast sandwich. It was pretty tasty, I enjoyed the chunky egg in it. However at the price point I was disappointed that there was no cheese, that element was definitely missing. Service was cold.
Decent bakery with lots of choices of bread & sandwiches. I had the jambon beurre, but I thought the bread was too hard, chewy. Would have preferred it to be warmed up or softer. The seating area is a bit small as well & noisy.
A truly don't understand how this is anything more than the most overrated bakery in the city. I give 2 starts instead of 1 because the service was excellent Pastries were bland & TINY Coffee tastes like mud Prices are 50% higher than the average in the city It's in Griffintown which is the most overrated part of the city anyway ... terribly dissappointed
During our family visit to Montreal, we really enjoyed our visit to La Bête à Pain (Griffintown). It was our first time to Montreal & we visited this bakery for breakfast based on google reviews & we were really impressed by everything in there. The first & foremost thing I wanted to highlight is the staff who were amazing, welcoming & very tentative to our needs & gave us a lot of recommendations for our breakfast. A big thank you 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 When it comes to food, it was super delicious, well seasoned & presented perfectly. It is definitely a highly recommended place if you will be around in Montréal. I will definitely be back again & again.
Number One Croissant in Montreal till now.
I'm taking back with me 2 dozens of Croissants to Toronto.
This is a bakery & Cafe.
So you can enjoy an assortment of Croissant & with the condiments you prefer & take dozens with you home to enjoy during the week.
Add this to your list of "What to do in Montreal".
Save the Croissant tasting & head directly to this place.
