La Cave à Manger is a tiny yet highly praised bakery tucked into Old Montreal with a cozy, intimate vibe and a small seating area, where pastries are repeatedly described as flaky, buttery and addictive. Standouts include the pistachio roll, croissant eclairs, croissants and the tiramisu croissant roll, along with beloved bagels and ham and cheese croissant, and the space often earns praise for its breads and creative offerings; the pistachio croissant and red velvet croissant are frequently cited as among the best in town. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, with staff going the extra mile, though some notes mention prices being on the high side for the portions and occasional inconsistencies in flavor. The space is small and sometimes crowded, with outdoor seating in good weather, and the basement location adds rustic charm. Overall, La Cave à Manger stands out as a must visit for pastry lovers in the Old Port, delivering high quality baked goods and a welcoming atmosphere, with many reviewers already planning a return.
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 :)
We just visited Montreal for the first time & I will forever be thinking about this place. The pistachio roll? Incredible. We have visited France before & tbh, these incredible pastries surpass France 🫣 I will forever be thinking of this amazing spot & so grateful to have visited, I even snagged some goodies to bring home to Philly. Don't miss out on this gem when visiting Montreal!
Sooo impressed with this hidden gem! 3 years in the city & never been here before. It's a cafe/cava where you can pace fully have a drink or two with nice music & great attention! Bread is delicious.
The best bakery in the old city, it's a bit expensive but worth it. Try the eclairs & the round cream filled pastries. Honestly everything is good. The place is a bit small but honestly I don't care it is so good
Le service à la clientèle est excellent à cet endroit. En particulier, une personne avec un accent russe a été extrêmement gentille; j'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé la façon dont elle nous a servis. J'espère revenir très bientôt & j'espère qu'ils continueront à avoir des employés aussi aimables. Merci.
