La Cave à Manger is a highly regarded bakery in Old Montreal, frequently praised for its high-quality pastries, notably its signature filled croissant rolls, buttery croissants, and fresh bread. While many visitors consider it a hidden gem offering an authentic European experience with friendly service and an inviting atmosphere, some reviews note that the space is small, the prices can be high, and consistency in flavor or freshness varies. The bakery also offers savory options like sandwiches and pizza, alongside coffee and wine, with many guests recommending the outdoor seating area despite occasional issues with local wildlife.
Nous étions curieuse & nous avions été agréablement surprise par les excellentes pâtisserie. C'est une belle découverte que je recommande au Vieux Port de Montréal. Je vais y retourner.
The food was amazing, & the outdoor sitting area was cute, cozy, & clean, but be aware of the opportunistic birds! We ordered both the sesame & poppy seed bagels, topped with cream cheese, fresh tomatoes, & chives, which were delicious. I also recommend their fresh squeezed orange juice, vegetarian sun-dried tomato & arugula pizza, & their green olive sourdough, which was definitely the highlight of our meal.
Nous sommes allés petit déjeuner 3 jours de suite à la cave à manger. Pâtisseries très bonnes & super chocolat chaud avec un service très sympa. Je recommande !

The place was the only Boulangerie open by 7am but was worth it. They were make fresh pastries & service was nice. A little slow as the line was piling up & there was no air conditioning on a very hot day/ morning. To be honest the man taking our order was the only one making our coffees & ringing us up at the register.
But we had the chocolate croissants, plain croissants, almond pastries/ croissants, coffee, etc. All were great & I recommend this place! We ended paying more than I thought we would!
The quality of the croissants & pastries was outstanding. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, & you could actually watch them being prepared, which made us appreciate the quality even more. 🤍
The coffee was excellent,fresh, rich, & full of flavor. My favorites were the iced coffee, the mochaccino, & the pistachio croissant. They were absolutely delicious! 😍☕🥐
The prices are a little on the higher side, but honestly, they're completely worth it considering the quality. 💯
The café has a cozy, nostalgic atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer. The outdoor seating area is beautiful, & there are lots of little birds that come & sit nearby, making the experience even more special. 🕊?🌿 There are also several seats available inside.
A heavy rainstorm started just as we were leaving, & in the rush we accidentally forgot to return our tray. One of the staff members kindly came to collect it without showing the slightest frustration. ❤?
We also asked if they had a large bag so we could protect our laptop & important documents from the rain. They happily gave us one free of charge without any hesitation. That small act of kindness really meant a lot to us. 🙏
The staff were incredibly polite, friendly, & welcoming throughout our visit. Their customer service was just as impressive as the food & coffee. 😊
I highly recommend this place. If you're in the area, don't miss the chance to stop by, you won't regret it! 🌟
Had a matcha glacé, the worst matcha ever😢 they also don't whisk the matcha by order, all I taste was very diluted matcha water, probably used a poor quality matcha, I do not recommend especially they are overpriced!!! I only recommend getting the pastries.
Only got an Americano but still good experience here as well great vibe from the workers interacting w/ all the customers. Very cool layout in the'Cave' . Highly recommend.
I stopped by this café because I was hot & hungry after walking around Old Port, & I hadn't planned ahead. I ordered an iced coffee, & the barista made it without any issue-I was so happy not to get scolded this time. The barista was very friendly, down-to-earth, & had no ego at all.
The timber ring croissant was delicious-I chose the mango flavor (maybe mixed with passion fruit, since it was a bit tangy?), & it was really good. I'd recommend this place if you're looking for something refreshing & cold around the Old Port area.
We stayed across the street at Maison Bohemia who highly recommended La Cave a Manger. Over the course of the week we enjoyed: bagels, croissants, baguette, pain au chocolate & other assorted pastries. All were excellent. Nice cozy atmosphere with old Montreal charm. A definite must try bakery.
