Review Summary

Reviews describe La Cave à Manger as a cozy basement boulangerie in Old Montreal with old world charm and a welcoming vibe, where pastries are the star and pistachio croissants, pistachio rolls, croissant eclairs, and ham and cheese croissants are repeatedly praised alongside bagels, pain au chocolat, and other flaky treats, while coffee and hot chocolate are well liked. The setting is small and seating is limited, yet the atmosphere and friendly staff create a memorable experience, and the location near the Bonsecours Market adds to the appeal. A few notes mention the prices as high and occasional inconsistency with some items, but many call the quality exceptional and say visits feel like discovering a hidden gem. Overall La Cave à Manger stands out for its pastries, especially the pistachio pastries and croissants, with many visitors planning return trips to try more of the menu.

This is what you can expect from French bakery & coffee shop! Nice, welcome, & down to earth staff, which they love their job. There is an option to eat-out or stay in. However, if it is gloomy day, I would suggest outside because of stone-carpet street aside. They offer Breads & Pastries, using organic flour & filtered waterlog fermentation process to enhance flavor & digestibility, as well as pepperoni pizza, Natural Wines. Strongly recommended!

Unbelievable out of this world croissants & bakery items!! Totally authentic, best I've had since Paris!! No frills, not a tourist trap. Staff were friendly & engaging. Definitely worth the trip!! A hidden gem right outside the tourist area, glad I found it!!

I visited the bakery with high hopes, eagerly anticipating the much-talked-about pistachio croissant. The croissant itself was well-made, with a satisfying texture. However, I found the flavor somewhat disappointing. Instead of a strong pistachio presence, it predominantly tasted like white chocolate, with only a subtle hint of pistachio.Cost me 14$ total with tip.
