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.

Good place to try croissants & coffee. Tried pistachio roll . Too much cream in my opinion as it overpowers the taste of the roll itself. Coffee was ok.

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!

After seeing so much hype about this place I was excited to try it out. The iced latte was great, service was fast & helpful, vibes were great. However the croissant was not very good. I had the plain croissant & it was so dry & tasteless. The outer crust was right, great amount of folds but it needed a lot more butter in my opinion. It also was not flakey enough. They have a nice selection of natural wines as well. I would go back to try the different flavoured croissants & because the coffee & vibes were great. But it's no where near the best croissant in Montreal.

I particularly enjoy their croissants, especially the chocolate ones. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some fresh pastries & coffee.

We started by sharing a classic ham & cheese sandwich on a nice baguette. Delicious. They we ordered 2 chocolatines. It was to die for. The coffee was also exceptional. The server was cheerful. This place set in old Montreal. What a way to start a day. Hopefully I'll be back soon.

Nice spot for a coffee & snack in Old Montreal. Fresh baked goods, but not light & flaky - more bready. Nice patio.

Tasty coffee, quick friendly service with a nice outside area to drink your coffee. We didn't have food but it looked great.

Don't miss this opportunity... You have to walk out away from the Old City bustle look for the Yellow umbrellas or the green doer frame. (Right next to BreWsky) Down a set of old cellar stairs (don't worry it'll be worth it) & step into Nonna's summer kitchen. Its small & quaint with a few indoor seats but a nice sidewalk patio. The pastry were light but flavorful & the Coffee was exactly what I expected & hoped for. Also, they were open into the evening when all the other boulangerie were closed.
