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.
Prix complètement abusifs : 11 $ pour un croissant red velvet & les baguettes sont aussi chères. AVEZ-VOUS MIS LES MAUVAIS PRIX DANS LA CAISSE !??? ( honteux )En plus de ça, le service laisse vraiment à désirer, le serveur t'observe payer, & si tu ne laisses pas de pourboire, il repart sans même dire merci ou au revoir. Un minimum de politesse serait apprécié, peu importe le pourboire.
Je ne reviendrai pas.
Enjoyed our eclair & the best ham & cheddar croissant we've ever had! The staff was friendly, & loved the concept of a boulangerie tucked into this location!

We stayed across the street at Maison Bohemia who highly recommended La Cave a Manger. Over the course of the week we enjoyed: bagels, croissants, baguette, pain au chocolate & other assorted pastries. All were excellent. Nice cozy atmosphere with old Montreal charm. A definite must try bakery.
This croissant might genuinely be the best one I've ever had. It was so flaky! Very good chocolate to croissant ratio. The area is extremely tiny, but thats ok with me if it comes with such a wonderful croissant :)
Food was exceptional especially the pistachio filled croissant, the staff even asked me if I wanted to record while he melts the marshmallow. Made my experience even better!
Great spot! I have tried a few flavours of the croissant pistachio 10/10, lemon meringue 1000/10,maple 10/10 etc but lately i feel they're afraid of using the power of the sugar, im not saying be over sweet but this weekend i tried their cinnamon roll…. Visually i saw the cinnamon but zero taste, cream cheese frosting was meh 2/10 i was expecting more, & creme brulee was literally tasteless idk very inconsistent

Tucked into the cobblestoned charm of Old Montreal, La Cave à Manger Boulangerie feels like the kind of place you wander into on a whim & leave remembering for all the right reasons. I stopped in near closing time on a small but meaningful mission: to find a birthday treat for a friend, ideally something kissed with pistachio. By then, their pistachio pastries had already sold out, hardly a surprise, but my momentary disappointment didn't go unnoticed.
The gentleman behind the counter met it with an easy warmth that defines great neighborhood bakeries. Along with the chocolatine & almond croissant I chose, both impeccably flaky, buttery, & deeply satisfying, he tucked in a cookie on the house. It was a small gesture, but one that spoke volumes about the care & attentiveness here. Service like that turns a good bakery into a beloved one.
Most importantly, the pastries landed exactly as hoped. My friend was very happy. In the end, La Cave à Manger delivered more than dessert. It delivered generosity, quality, & a reminder that hospitality can be just as memorable as what's in the pastry case.
The pistachio croissant & salmon sandwich were delicious. I want to return & try everything else. The coffee was normal, not extraordinary (cappuccino).
Nice place to stop in for some morning pastries & breakfast .
La Cave a Manger is located next to the Bonsecours market in an underground basement like area . Once you go down the steps you are met with a warm environment & a case with classic pastries including bagels , croissants sweet & savory .
Coffee barista was very friendly as she prepared a cappuccino for me . I decided to get an almond croissant which was delicious .
Nice flaky on the outside & moist filling inside . Ate it with great happiness. Coffee is well prepared & not too heavy . I also purchased a cheese & ham savory croissant for a later snack (not pictured) . Combination of the cheese melted & creating a crust with the pastry is awesome .
The layers were very thick & doughy for a croissant. Not thin, buttery & crispy. Only the top layer was crispy & the rest was very brioche-like. Wouldn't recommend.
