Pistachio croissant was yummy & big, very much shareable between people :P Pepperoni pizza was alright, loaded of pepperoni which is great, but they were not crispy enough. The iced chai latte wasn't that good, it wasn't strong enough & tasted too milky. The service was a little off, a little rude:( except for when I talked to the owner, he was super sweet!
Pistachio roll at $12.50 was decent, but not great, & will not return. Crust better than average, but filling average at best. Does not justify the ratings or price.
if you're going to go anywhere to get a supreme croissant, let it be la cave à manger! the pistachio supreme croissant was to die for! buttery, flaky, soft, earthy & sweet. much MUCH better than duc de lorraine.... i didn't stay to eat but the patio was super cute & service was very friendly
It is DOG-FRIENDLY! It is so a rare to find. Dog friendly cafe in Montreal which is sad. But they are. There bakery is amazing. The staff are very friendly. Will definitely bring my Bernese mountain dog back & grab some delicious pastry!

Nous avons essayé les Melon pan :) La brioche est vraiment bonne! Mais Melon pan ne veut pas forcément dire brioche au melon... Mauvaise surprise de constater qu'elle était fourré à une sorte de sirop de melon vraiment pas bon & peu agréable visuellement. Gardez vos Melon pan nature! Ils seront bien meilleurs.
Super disappointing for a 10$ red velvet croissant.. I was so excited to try but it was So dry & felt like its been sitting there for at least 3 days .. i dont mind the price but at least make something fresh or good with it..
Great staff.. Food is okayish.. Location is 10/10 but food felt over hyped.. Could be my personal opinion but found it pretty average... Not worth the hype but yeah you can try it once... No harm if you are already there..
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.
