Born from the love of a passionate French artisan, Boulangerie l'Amour du Pain has discovered the secret to winning hearts and satisfying hungry appetites with its wide selection of bakery, viennoiserie, and pastry products. Each of our branches also offers a ready-to-eat counter. Sandwiches, salads, soups, we have everything you need!
Overall, L'Amour du Pain is described as a place with exceptional staff, welcoming service and a calm atmosphere that feels like a neighborhood gem. Many reviews praise the quality of breads, croissants, pastries and coffee, highlighting a broad variety and the pleasure of trying something new on each visit. However, some visits have fallen short with pastries that were not fresh or served cold, and at times the seating is limited and the area appears untidy. Several comments note that value for money varies and that price may not always match perceived quality. Despite mixed experiences, the bakery remains a popular destination for bread and treats, with strong admiration for the ongoing appeal and the ability to draw regulars back for a wide assortment of items.
Good pastries, a little expensive but that is to be expected for a local business like this. I'd say it's worth the price as the pastries were quite good. The coffee wasn't as good, average at best. The service was average, she was nice & fast to get our drinks & such.

I enjoyed the chou, especially with the caramel inside. The canelé was great. I poured a shot of rum in the middle & it absorbed it really quickly. The chocolate & coffee flavoured pastries were kinda disappointing. The macarons were great.
Our favourite bakery every time we visit Montreal it's the place we go every day to get something different, the variety, the quality, the taste of everything they have is absolutely incredible, every time we are in, we want to try everything! It's definitely Love for the Bread! Best pastries!!! Can't wait to come back soon! 🙏☺?
My recent visit to this pastry shop left me quite underwhelmed. The employees were pleasant & the initial display of pastries was appealing, though they seemed a bit small for the price. I was willing to overlook the cost, hoping the artisan quality & taste would justify it.
Unfortunately, the two pastries I purchased were very disappointing. Both were noticeably dry, & the cream fillings tasted like the cheapest quality ingredients, leaving an unpleasant, greasy coating in my mouth. I also ordered a cortado, which was simply basic.
Ultimately, the quality of the pastries does not justify the prices charged. My overall experience was a 2-3/10.
My one suggestion to the shop would be this: never compromise on the key ingredients that form the foundation of your business. The current lack of quality in the foundational ingredients is the main issue.

The perfect spot for a morning coffee, a quick lunch, or an afternoon treat. The staff are also incredibly friendly & welcoming, always ready with a smile.
This place has amazing freshly baked bread, delicious sweet pastries, & desserts.
All stars for the bread loaves & sourdough (not judging pastries, they're ok but not superb). I still think this is the best option in the area for good bread. Is it cheap? No. But the price is fair & the quality for daily bread is very good. I wanted to say my experience going to this bakery was good, but... It's a complicated relationship. I read several complaints about the staff, & yep, sometimes they seem to be inattentive. Which I understand, many are young folks who are probably in college learning their ways through. But watch out for not paying extra for your items, they may get confused with the types of item you requested & their actual price (happened to me). However, I don't blame them for not being fast. They're learning. The bad side is that the place can get messy with long lines. The other problem with this bakery is that lately none seems to be checking the inventory & projecting sales. So sometimes you go there at 11am - 12pm & there are very few options of bread (they close at 6pm). So TL;DR some types of bread are very good & the place could benefit from more planning. 🍞🥖
I loved this place so much, I ended up here every morning of my stay in Vienna. Wonderful coffee & the pastries rivalled the best I've had in Paris - that lamination! Even their packaging is lovely. Enjoyed this place far more than the famous coffee house I visited.
