Review Summary

La Cave à Manger is a tiny yet highly praised bakery tucked into Old Montreal with a cozy, intimate vibe and a small seating area, where pastries are repeatedly described as flaky, buttery and addictive. Standouts include the pistachio roll, croissant eclairs, croissants and the tiramisu croissant roll, along with beloved bagels and ham and cheese croissant, and the space often earns praise for its breads and creative offerings; the pistachio croissant and red velvet croissant are frequently cited as among the best in town. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, with staff going the extra mile, though some notes mention prices being on the high side for the portions and occasional inconsistencies in flavor. The space is small and sometimes crowded, with outdoor seating in good weather, and the basement location adds rustic charm. Overall, La Cave à Manger stands out as a must visit for pastry lovers in the Old Port, delivering high quality baked goods and a welcoming atmosphere, with many reviewers already planning a return.

I wanted to post pictures with this review but whenever I go to La Cave à Manger I end up devouring the whole thing before taking any picture, I think that enough can describe how yummy the food is

their famous round stuffed croissants did not disappoint! We opted for the crème brûlée croissant, & let me tell you, it was incredibly filling-so much so that we're not sure it's meant for a single person to tackle in one sitting! The combination of the flaky pastry & the rich, creamy filling was a match made in heaven. In addition to the croissants, we couldn't resist trying their hot chocolate, & we loved the variety of flavors available. We chose the Matcha hot chocolate, but there are also options like ube & pumpkin spice, each topped with a giant roasted marshmallow that adds a fun & delicious twist. It was chocolate was rich & comforting, making it the perfect companion to our croissant. We're already planning our return trip to try their other croissant flavors. If you're in the area, this bakery is definitely worth a visit for a truly indulgent treat!

Nous sommes dans le vieux, mais c'est quand même juste une boulangerie 12$ pour une baguette & deux croissants, c'est franchement exagéré au niveau prix.

Freshly baked pastries; very friendly staff; highly recommended. The only thing to note is that access is online from outside but it is worth being lost

This cookie was better than it had any business being. If you sit right outside, you can feed the many little birds that live under the patio furniture.

My friend & I stopped by to try their famous 📌rolls, & the Halloween 📌Pumpkin Roll did not disappoint. The creamy pumpkin filling inside is delicious! Perfectly balanced, not too sweet or overpowering, making it an ideal treat for the season. Paired with a warm latte, it was the ultimate cozy autumn snack. If you are in Old Port & looking for a tasty seasonal treat, definitely check this place out!

The food is so sweet that I feel like my blood sugar level is shooting into space. The best part is the sparrows happily snacking on my leftovers, but should we be concerned about their blood sugar too?

Boulangerie - restaurant. Beaucoup de monde, bonne ambiance. Bizarre la pizza en pâte à pain, mais pas mauvais du tout. Gâteaux délicieux. Aïe le prix du pain français au Canada ! 5 dollars canadiens la baguette, soit environ 3,50 €.
