Mixed feelings about this one! The pastries (the chocolatine & almond croissant) were low-key so lovely, even if they looked a bit basic.
The vibes inside are really nice & the staff was super sweet. Only downside was the cappuccino, it just wasn't it. Worth it for a quick pastry run, though!
Beautiful little neighbourhood cafe/bar. Their croissants are delicious. Love the decor & great service as well. Every time I'm in the area, I stop in.

I love this cafe & the vibes of that ! In the last visit, the waitress was so busy she forgot us to take the order & finally i had to go & ask her to come !
& she mixed up our order & bring one extra nutella croissant.
In general, I recommend this place if you like old French vibes.
La Croissanterie Figaro is a gem in terms of atmosphere; the Art Nouveau decor & the historic vibe truly transport you to Paris. It is a place with undeniable charm & soul.
However, for a spot that is pricier than average & always busy, the operational details should be sharper. During my visit, there were no napkins at the table, & the hand dryer in the restroom was out of order. These might seem like small things, but in a high-standard establishment in Outremont, maintenance & basic service are key to the overall experience.
I'm giving it 4 stars because I love the ambiance & want this place to thrive, but the management needs to match their beautiful aesthetic with better attention to maintenance & customer care. Hopefully, these points will be addressed soon!
This place is very charming. it has enormous potential. Please bring your prices down. 10$ for a very average apple puff pastry & 7$ for a croissant is not chill. Especially given that they aren't any better than any other bakery or cafe in the area. Again, it's a beautiful place, but make it more welcoming. Not just in your pricing, but also in the service
Love the decor & ambiance of this place, we felt like we were in Paris! Very friendly service & delicious food! The croissants can also be ordered to go, highly recommend!
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.
Cute little breakfast spot in a great neighbourhood! Ordered espressos & chocolate croissants heated...so good! Amazing patio, friendly servers, great for people watching.

When it comes to ambiance & decoration, La Croissanterie Figaro is the perfect choice. Everything felt antique & nostalgic, creating such a charming & unique atmosphere - I absolutely loved the décor. The food was excellent, & I highly recommend the affogato - it was a real treat. The service was also wonderful; the owner himself took the time to talk about the history of the place & its beautiful design, which made the experience even more special. I'll definitely be going back!
