La Cave à Manger est une adresse intime du Vieux-Montréal où les pâtisseries font l’unanimité, croissants croustillants et rouleaux pistache, éclair au chocolat et pains au chocolat étant souvent cités parmi les favoris; l’offre sucrée se mêle à des options salées comme des sandwiches et une pizza, le tout servi par un personnel chaleureux et efficace. Le cadre est petit et parfois en sous-sol, ce qui peut limiter les places assises, mais l’ambiance cosy et la terrasse extérieure compensent largement. Les avis saluent la qualité constante et le goût riche, avec des prix un peu élevés justifiés par le savoir-faire, et l’accueil qui pousse les visiteurs à revenir. En somme, une étape incontournable du quartier malgré une fréquentation variable selon l’heure et la saison.
A cramped little store that makes you walk down some steep stairs to get to. There was also very limited seating. The majority of the seating was at ground level outside. But it was worth the trek because the matcha crossant roll was SO GOOD. It was stuffed & had such a strong matcha flavour. The chocolate & pistachio flavours were both way too sweet. For $11 something a piece, I would only recommend the matcha roll.
Matcha crossaint roll is a must!!! Very strong matcha flavour without being too sweet or too bitter. Lots of cream & matched perfectly with the crunch of the croissant. Definitely will get one every time I visit!
The pistachio one was too sweet & thick. The chocolate one was just Nutella on the inside & thus too sweet. For $11 each, it is a good treat since they are quite big.

Such a great all around space & vibe. The pastries are big & baked to a wonderful texture with a slightly crisp outer layer & very fluffy interior. All made right there behind the counter. Also recommend the matcha hot chocolate. Very matcha forward & delightful, to not mention a beautiful color.
This place is ridiculously expensive. Almost $10 for a croissant is insane, but honestly, it's worth it. The almond chocolatine is one of the best pastries I've ever had. Definitely worth a visit for a splurge on a sweet treat. It's busy & crowded & there's not much room to sit down in the winter.
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!

We stopped in to order some pastries for dessert. The chocolatine/pain au chocolat was very good. The pistachio & strawberry matcha croissant(?) rolls were good too. They tasted great, but the bavarois/filling's consistency wasn't what I expected. Overall, a neat bakery in a nice setting.

Nous avions des attentes élevé pour cet endroit. Le service n'était pas présent, nous avons essayé le roll pistache (goûte beaucoup plus le chocolat blanc que la pistache), il était bon. On a aussi pris le croissant/biscuit, assez ordinaire. Prix ne vaut pas ce que c'est, 11$ plus tip chaque viennoiserie. La terrasse est jolie.
Boulangerie en sous sol façon cave c'est original bien que compliqué d'accès à cause des petites marches. Service bon & rapide. Prix élevés tout de même ! Le biscuit chocolat est bon mais texture friable, mais il me fait penser à des sablés bretons plus qu'à des cookies ordinaires.
This café is truly a fantastic spot! Their variety of croissants are all delicious-crispy & perfectly baked, with the chocolate ones being just the right amount of sweet. While enjoying your food outdoors, you can also see some adorable little birds playing nearby. It's especially recommended for parents with children; the interaction between kids & the birds creates a warm & joyful atmosphere.

The BEST croissant I have ever had!!! So crispy, so puffy, & the sweetness is just the right amount. I really enjoyed the crunching sound of the first bite. Also, there are some birdie friends wanting to share the croissant with you, who doesn't want to have some pain au chocolat anyway?
Took a almond chocolatine & it was really good delicious & the atmosphere was really cool surrounded by little birds If only they have added more umbrellas
I particularly enjoy their croissants, especially the chocolate ones. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some fresh pastries & coffee.
We started by sharing a classic ham & cheese sandwich on a nice baguette. Delicious. They we ordered 2 chocolatines. It was to die for. The coffee was also exceptional. The server was cheerful. This place set in old Montreal. What a way to start a day. Hopefully I'll be back soon.
