Came to try this. $12 pistachio roll. $4.5 chocolate croissant , the pistachio roll Its very filling, a lot of cream & a-bit pricy. I would suggest to add some zest or lemon pistachio .. that can balance out the cream itself with some zest or citrus. Personal idea only because this is toooo much cream .. can't even finish 1/2 .

I prefer the chocolate croissant.

I ordered the Tropical filled pastry, the chocolat croissant, & I got the orange slush with ice cream in it for drink. The orange slush was a banger at the start but it was good overall: 4.0/5
The chocolat crossiant was honestly carried by the flaky goodness of the pastry but the flavor was also great, just not enough chocolate filling: 4.2/5
Now oh my days, the tropical pastry was worth travelling so far, just actually 5/5 couldn't have been any better, the flavors, the appearance, the breaking of the flakes & the melty filling omd it was gorgeous & To die for, Merci la cave.

As a big fan of bakeries & pastries, this place is definitely worth visiting! The croissaint was super crispy on the outside, the creaming filling inside was so rich & tasty. Paired with freshly brewed coffee to balance the sweetness. Seating is a bit limited since the space is small.

The almond croissant was absolutely delicious-crispy on the outside, soft & buttery inside, with a generous almond filling. Fresh, flavorful, & definitely worth trying. Friendly service too. Highly recommend!

It's a very hidden gem, you actually have to walk down the stairs to find the bakery.

The Pistachio Cream-Filled Croissant was just okay. While the pastry itself was fine, the filling was a bit too sweet & I really wished the actual pistachio flavor could have been a lot stronger.

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 .

Great bakery & will definitely stop in again .

La Cave à Manger Boulangerie in Old Montréal is an iconic, rustic patisserie that's definitely worth a visit! They offer a highly curated selection of pastries, & we went for the chocolate croissant éclairs & the tiramisu croissant roll. Both were absolutely delicious-the fillings were rich & flavorful, & the pastries themselves were fresh, flaky, & buttery without being overly sweet. Every bite was a delight!

I also loved the ambiance of the place. It's rustic & charming, with a perfect outdoor seating area to enjoy your treats. It's a great spot to relax & take in the vibe of the Old Port. I'll definitely be back to try more of their amazing pastries!

🥐'Tree Ring' Croissant - Very sweet, with a gooey filling that oozes out from the center. If you like dessert-level sweetness, this one's for you - but it was a bit much for me.

🍫 Long Chocolate Croissant - Loved this one! Not overly sweet, & the chocolate filling in the middle was perfectly balanced. Definitely my favorite of the two. 💯
