Cute coffee spot, very beautiful & tastefully decorated. The staff was very nice & welcoming. Chai latte was ok. Good place to meet & catch up or read or just enjoy a tea or coffee.
La Croissanterie Figaro feels like a little slice of Paris in Montreal. The vintage decor & cozy atmosphere make it the perfect spot to relax. Their croissants are incredibly buttery & flaky, & the coffee pairs perfectly. Friendly service! Definitely worth a visit!
Greeted by owner who was very pleasant. Lots of people buzzing outside, including inside. It's very much of a European vibe & decor & love it. Servers were very friendly, & they were busy so much so that my coffee cup sadly was not refilled, but again, servers were understaffed & working as best they could with a smile. Now the croissant was disappointing, & I was expecting better from a croissanterie. I tried the croissant with cheese, I had to fight eating the croissant & was told no utensils were available, so I couldn't cut it in peices because when they heated the croissant the cheese oozed out & got baked to a crust (hence fighting to get a graceful bite). I also found the coffee could be a tad less bitter, & so a refill would have possibly turned my stomach, & a quick visit to the washroom would have been warranted.

We ordered the Bonjour dish & Crêpe with fruits - the taste was okay, but the plate presentation was very cheap & unappealing. The coffee was burned & the seating was uncomfortable. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.
I love this place! The coffee, the Viennese hot chocolate & the chocolate mellow was decadent! In addition, the authentic art decor atmosphere adds a unique experience! Thanks to our pretty & welcoming waitress Poppy. very happy to come back! ☕?🥐🍰

Let's do the good stuff first. It's got great atmosphere. Like really great. Like being transported to a Parisian arrondissement great. The viennoiserie looks really pretty. The pastries are reheated. That's a trick to make them better. I ordered a croissant with jam. The jam that arrived was Smuckers. A little peel the top off plastic container that you get at diners. The cutlery was dirty. Like disgusting dirty that it reminded me of when my Chinese grandmother used to wash the chopsticks at restaurants in hot tea. The good news is that the pain au chocolate my wife had was « buttery » which is what happens when you put it in the oven. Nothing wrong with warming up French pastries. It's a great way to make mediocre pastries pretty good. My croissant was mediocre but heated to make it pretty okay. But it was small. I like small buttery croissants. But mostly ones that are well done by talented & determined bakers. Who would kill or die at the sight of their creations being served with Smuckers. I ordered a café au lait. Which is usually a delicious coffee drink with texture & the sweetness of a good milk. Not here. This was more akin to a double double from Timmy's but not as sweet. I didn't drink much of it. I mentioned it to the waitress who asked about the food - after we ate it. She looked at my barely touched café au lait & I told her in no uncertain terms it was the worst I've had in my life. To be clear I've had worse coffee beverages but this was the worst café au lait. She said she would mention it. Waited forever for the bill. The café au lait was still on the bill. She presented me with the machine to pay & the lowest tip option was a whopping 18% which is the norm but was about $4.00. I stared at the machine & felt bad as I pressed no tip. I felt bad because the server probably needs the money in the typical cheque is small. But the tip is a way to make things right if the product isn't commensurate with the price. Save your money. Cross the street to Rumi where I had an amazing delicious brunch.
Beautiful terrace. I love the greenery & the shaded seating. The coffee / tea is quite good as well, as is the desserts / pastries. One of the best cafe's in the city.

I had a coffee & tarte aux pommes at this gorgeous café on a lovely, quiet street & felt transported to Paris. The service was so friendly too. I highly recommend this destination if you visit Mile End.
Very cute decor, comfy setting, chill neighborhood & accessible with a frequent bus route passing by, totally recalling an era past & my time living in Paris. That said the latte was sooooo disappointing. Zero taste. Over heated. Only drank it because I paid for it. I was so disappointed at the coffee honestly.
We wanted to eat a croissant so we went to came here & we got a croissant. Or two. & they were magnificent. It's all in the butter & they get it right. Buttery, flaky heaven in a roll.
We also loved the europeen vibe, the old chairs, cash register, ornamental coffee machine & the over vintage decor. & the fact that they serve alcohol & are open from 8am until 11pm makes it a rare type of establishment.
Where they lose points for us however, unfortunately has nothing to do with their croissants. A detail but enough for us to remember it.
If you're going to charge 4.25$ for a cup of tea don't serve "four o'clock" brand tea in a bag. Either do it properly or don't sell tea at all.
Neighborhood terrasse for your coffee, croissant & anything in between. I’ve been to this place over the past decade & the service has always been consistently great. I’ve had a chance to try many things on their menu & it’s always a place where we may end up choosing to soak up the sun, have a French lunch, have a special for dinner, have a late night snack (it closes late) or even have a late coffee/ wine & dessert. The menu is long but I’ve always liked their gondole chicken sandwich, their carrot juice & their almond croissant. The inside is art deco Paris & it feels like you’re sitting in Europe. The outside is full of vividly colored flowers & is probably one of the places in the area that gets the most sun. I suggest you go there & try it even if it’s just for a glass of wine.
Pros: food, coffee, decor & service
Cons. European level expensive.
The coffee was superb. The chocolatines were (so I am told) epic. The grilled cheese sandwich was buttery & springy while caramelized on the outside. The room is very romantic, old brass & embossed ceiling ornaments, old fans, & period lighting harken the roaring 20's with plenty of patina. Our waitress was wonderfully pleasant, but not overly zealous.
But oh my Lordy Gordy, it was pricey. 2 coffees, three chocolatines, & a grilled cheese came up to 48$ with tax & tip.
I left pleases & satisfied. But I will only return when I am feeling rich.
