This has been one of our fav bakery for years (been addicted to their mastery of butter since they were on Victoria st.)! Croissants, chocolatine/pain chocolat, croissant au amande, koing aman, abricotine, chausson au pomme, brioche au raisin, etc etc! All the usual suspects & more. Butter, flour & sugar paradise.

We are impartial to their almond croissant. One of the best we've had. Generous filling, crispy croissant. Rich sweet & buttery without making you feel sick. Their koing aman too is worth sinking your teeth in. Aaaahh the magic of semi-salted butter & sugar. They have some more caramelized & some less caramelized. Extra buttery or extra sugary...just take one of each. You'll be grateful for it. Sharing optional.

Let talk boulangerie: their tradition is deliscious! Do not get me wrong, their baguette is good too but the tradition is where it is at! Brings us back to France.

Definitely worth the detour, even if you are in Montreal or further away on the South shore.

Our biking group stopped here after a ride, & it was a great decision! Everyone loved the quality of the pastries & coffee. Note there is no seating, it's all take-out (& no seating nearby except for improvising on structures). But well worth it! The chausson aux pommes I had was exceptional - buttery & flaky, with no skimping on the apple filling (& square shaped, unusual & allowed for more filling). A local gem with friendly service.
