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.
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.

Not surprisingly, I am back here for the second morning in a row. La Cave a Manger is a tiny, unassuming bakery that may well be the best find of my two week sojourn in Canada. I stumbled upon wonderfully fresh & tasty oceanside seafood in Newfoundland, an astonishing 7-course tasting menu on the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, & oysters & a panko crusted haddock burger done perfectly on Prince Edward Island, but the pastries & bread here are simply world-class. At the risk of slipping into a food coma today, I am back to have another three pastries here & to take away at least six croissants & a couple loaves of bread. The service has been warm, friendly, & responsive each time I have been here, & it has both a cute little seating area inside & a larger patio space outside. I will be back.
This is what you can expect from French bakery & coffee shop! Nice, welcome, & down to earth staff, which they love their job. There is an option to eat-out or stay in. However, if it is gloomy day, I would suggest outside because of stone-carpet street aside. They offer Breads & Pastries, using organic flour & filtered waterlog fermentation process to enhance flavor & digestibility, as well as pepperoni pizza, Natural Wines. Strongly recommended!
I particularly enjoy their croissants, especially the chocolate ones. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some fresh pastries & coffee.
The store is a bit small, but the food is really good. I had the pistachio croissant & a matcha milkshake, which was pretty nice. The pastries can be a little too sweet for some people but it tastes incredible. 100% would go back to taste their pastries.
The place to go if you want the mythical round-stuffed-croissant. We went there close to 6pm & they still had them in stock. Its 11 or 12$ for a single croissant, but its huge. The employee was very kind & gave us a gift, which was an extra croissant when we opened it outside, insane. They also have a plethora of fresh baked bread & pastries. It's a tiny shop in the basement of the marche Bonsecours with steep steps so watch out when you go there.
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.
