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.
I ordered the avocado toast, croissants, muffins & 3 breads. The avocado toast was maybe the best I have had (5 stars). The muffins & bread were good (4 stars). I have not tasted the croissant yet but if they are anything like fleury's, they will be great.
I would have given this place 7 stars if I could! We tried half of the menu in 3 different times everything was delicious (both food items & pastries) the bread is incredible so I bought a few! The owner & staff were extremely nice as well! It's definitely a sort of a hidden gem in the heart of griffintown! Very recommended ❤?
We went here a few days ago & we liked their pastry & breads. I can say we liked it & not loved it as I've had better ones before so I give it 4 stars. The sandwich was delicious & I saw them cutting good provolone cheese at the kitchen, so i would say the material quality was good too. I would be happier if the sandwich was cheaper.
My wife got a creme pistachio pastry she loved.
I also got a olive & tomato bread that was awful! 😖
On a rather quiet road with a warm atmosphere & good pastries. I loved the pistachio éclair, but unfortunately didn't get anything else. They serve matcha, coffee, bread & sandwiches. On the side they have a little fridge for canned drinks like Loop.
Cool patisserie/boulangerie in Griffintown, open early 8:00, filled up pretty fast, limited seating. They bake their breads on place, therefore very fresh & crunchy. They are a bit understaffed,m. Therefore, service suffers a bit.

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.
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.

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.
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 lol
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.

Came there for a fresh bread. Was somewhat disappointed about 2 things: 1. They don't have a slicing machine. 2. The more expensive breads (way too expensive to my taste) did not have a clear price mark. Other than that it's OK.
Lot of choices hard to decide. Jambon-beurre was good even though baguette was a little bit dense. The bread with olive & tomato was good also. I would not recommend canelé & Brioche Jambon.
Only option in the neighbourhood. Bread is ok, but goes stale within 24 hours. If you're dining in, it tastes great. Pastries are average at best, try Chez Poitier instead. Takes a long time to checkout & pay for your food.
