This bakery has become a cornerstone of my routine, & for good reason. Nestled in Ahuntsic, it's a rare spot that effortlessly combines the charm of a neighborhood bakery with the heart of a bustling café. The viennoiseries alone are worth the visit. Think buttery, flaky croissants that shatter delicately with each bite, or pain au chocolat with its rich, molten core-these staples are executed to perfection. Their baguette is a masterpiece, with a crust that crackles & a tender, airy interior that embodies classic French baking. Beyond the basics, their rotating selection of breads adds excitement, from rustic loaves to inventive seasonal creations. The brunch menu is a highlight, offering hearty, thoughtfully prepared dishes that rotate to showcase fresh, local ingredients. It's the kind of meal that feels both indulgent & satisfying, perfect for lazy weekends. & yes, you absolutely cannot miss their quiche-its silky filling & golden, buttery crust are the stuff of legends. Even their pizzas, with their perfectly chewy crust & creative flair, are a delightful surprise. What truly sets La Bête à Pain apart is its dedication to community & quality. The shelves are lined with locally sourced wines, ciders, & artisanal products, making it easy to support Quebec producers while treating yourself. The staff radiates warmth & professionalism, always ready with a smile or recommendation, even during the busiest rushes. Accessibility is also thoughtfully addressed, with a wheelchair-friendly entrance & spacious layout ensuring everyone feels welcome. While the space can feel cozy, especially near the entrance, the lively atmosphere & inviting energy make it part of the charm. Minor quirks, like playful twists on classic pastries, only add character to an otherwise flawless experience. In a city brimming with bakeries, La Bête à Pain Ahuntsic stands out as a place where passion & craftsmanship meet everyday comfort. Whether you're grabbing a coffee & croissant, picking up a loaf of bread, or settling in for a leisurely brunch, it's a spot that consistently delivers-& keeps loyal patrons like me coming back, month after month.
L'endroit idéal pour la baguette & autres belles surprises, vins, pâtisseries & plus
Des très. Bons pains, baguettes viennoiseries, choix de plats traiteur également
Love this bakery for the bread, pastries, ham sandwiches & ready made meals. The service has always been friendly & efficient. Desserts & Pastries: my favourite is the coffee eclair. The tiramisu my second favourite. I really enjoy their danishes & their chocolate-almond croissant. I love their ham sandwich. The quality & flavour of the ham is excellent. It's a simple sandwich but the amazing quality ingredients make it so delicious. Breads: my favourites are the baguette apéro, blue cheese & nut bread (offered on weekends only I believe) & the focaccia. Their other loaves are also great but these ones are unique & delicious. Also a great place to get ready made soup, salads & mains. They have a great variety of options. That & all kinds of locally made products to discover: jams, wine, mocktails...
Très belle boulangerie, pain excellent, croissants ainsi que baguette. Je vais sûrement y retourner pour essayer les nets préparés & autres produits.
This was highly recommended by a friend who grew up in France as being the closest to the real taste. The place has a real rustic feel to it which works perfectly with their baked good. The smell of fresh baked goods can be smelled down the street which is very inviting. I tried their croissants, chocolatine, baguette, pain de champagne & eclairs. I was very satisfied with the croissants, they were perfectly crispy on the outside & fluffy on the inside. I was not a fan of the chocolatine because it was very soft inside out, but I am unsure if this is how they're supposed to taste so I can't fault them for this. I will say however that I was not a fan of the eclairs, & again this might be my lack of knowledge of authentic eclairs, but it had chocolate on the inside instead of cream. If that's the authentic version then you can rate this a 5 instead of 4. The baguette was very good. The croissant will be my go to next time I come, & at only $2 it is worth it.
Militarisé comme approche à la boulangerie & partout. Dès que j'ai parlé de convivialité dans le traitement de la clientèle à la gérante, elle est sortie de ses gonds . Ça va vraiment pas cet endroit en général oû l'on prend les clients pour des''autos téléguidées'' avance recule pas ici là-bas & la gérante bête par surcroit . Faites la file pendant 30 minutes devant une étalage de produits (que vous ne recherchiez pas) démesurément chers pour accéder finalement au comptoir.
Une dame demande''Je veux juste une baguette'' Réponse sur un ton de gardienne de prison''Attendez comme tout le monde'' 30 minutes ...
En finale Mme la gérante non satisfaite de son pouvoir exercé sur moi, vient abruptement me rejoindre à la section boulangerie pour me retirer mes achats en disant aux autres employés ébahis que je ne prend rien & que j'ai attendu pour rien. La punition de la matronne , Cette femme est dingue ou sur le bord de la crise de nerfs , ou les deux !
