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.
Wonderful chocolate croissants! Take note though the circle croissants they told us are not available till 10am so we missed getting those. Limited seating mostly outdoor. Everything was freshly baked!
Cet endroit propose parmi les meilleures viennoiseries de Montréal. J'ai eu l'occasion de goûter leur NY roll à la pistache ainsi que leur chocolatine qui sont absolument délicieux. En revanche, le lieu est très petit avec seulement 3 places assises environ. Bien qu'il y ait une petite terrasse à l'extérieur, ce n'est donc pas toujours approprié pour y manger en hiver. Malgré cet inconvénient, je recommande vivement cette boulangerie pour une pause gourmande dans le Vieux-Port.

This place was a new find for us. Fortunately our hotel was around the corner. If you like croissants, this is the place for you. We got these & had to come back later to bring some home for the kids. The ham & cheese was very good. So flakey. Hubby got the Red Velvet. It was decadent & unique. The color was 😍 gorgeous!! I ordered a cookie croissant. Literally just watched a video that week on how to make them & had never seen them before. Had to try it!!! It was so good. I could not eat the whole thing, but my husband helped finish it off. We ordered two more of those to bring home. We also brought home a tropical croissant. Wow. More to that than met the eyes. It was filled with a tropical custard. Just the right amount of sweet. Definitely would go back. & bring home more for the family.
Texture is perfect; fresh everytime i go Taste is perfect; they dont cheap out on the fillings Price is more than fair; to all those complaining, maybe this is just not for you. Every single staff is courteous :) They are above duc de lorraine in my books

Very good baked goods...but expensive. I just paid 8 dollars for a chocolatine aux Amandes. It was 7 a few months ago. I feel places are getting way too greedy now. Do our salaries increase by this percentage? Sadly won't go often. If you have money to blow then yes it's worth it!
You will have a ratatouille experience where time will stop & tears will stream down your face. The croissants here are amazing! Highly recommend the hangover cure & the almond chocolate. I wish they sold hats.
