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.
Le roll aux pistaches était un peu cher (11$) mais Ô combien délicieux, un chef d'oeuvre à essayer !! Nous le reprendrons assurément. Le croissant jambon fromage était également très très bon!!
Sérieusement les prix pratiqués sont insensés ! Y a eu un peu trop de pub sur Instagram.... C'est la raison pour laquelle je suis venue la. Mais 17$ (hors service) pour un Roll & un cappuccino... Merci mais non merci
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.

I came here to grab some last-minute snacks. They had a flavor of San Pellegrino that I never had before. Too bad they ran out of the other pastries already, must've been really good, but I got chocolate croissants & pizza. The staff were really friendly & warm to me as a tourist, & they helped me pick a bottle of wine to go. Would visit again just for their customer service.
The service is great, very nice & generous! I also loved their pastries, everything I tried was mouth-watering. The prices were also quite affordable considering the size of each piece. Definitely recommend & worth every penny.
The food is amazing, the people working there are warm & helpful. Is noticeable that the work environment is good because of how they treat their customers. I will definitely come back
Petite boulangerie. La terrasse est agréable par beau temps. Il n'y a pas une variété folle de produits mais ils sont bien maîtrisés. Le roll choco noisette très belle réalisation, le roll pistache fleur d'oranger un peu moins hélas. Je trouve que les prix sont très élevés.
Is great that they open early on weekends (7am), but there isn't much available yet. I went later on a weekday to try the famous pistacho croissant roll, is good, not too sweet & average size, but doesn't worth the 12 CAD
