Mamie Clafoutis evokes a beloved neighborhood bakery with fresh breads and pastries and a friendly, human touch that many reviewers miss after a recent renovation. The shop now features a self-serve setup and automated service, which some praise for speed and convenience and others lament for losing warmth and personal interaction. The pastries like croissants, cannelés, and the Oh Mon Dieu croissant are repeatedly praised, as is the coffee and the stylish, warm interior, though several remarks point to higher prices and a tipping culture tied to the automated system. Overall, the products remain excellent and worth a visit, with opinions split on the experience and atmosphere.
This is a really wonderful shop. I visit friends in Montreal about once a year & come back to Mamie Clafoutis each time I visit specifically for the Abricotine & pistachio croissants. They are so delicious & well made. The staff is always patient, efficient & friendly too. It's a nice place to sit & enjoy a coffee & pastry. I appreciate that they have filter coffee & that it is also very good. I have had sandwiches too & they are also very nice. It might not be possible to find something that wasn't highly enjoyable here.
Cute little shop with many delectable baked goods, though sadly nothing was gluten-free. However, my mocha was one of the best I've ever had & my partner thoroughly enjoyed her almond chocolate croissant. I recommend this on the mocha alone.

En sortant de la patisserie, j'ai accroché la porte & mon gateau est tombé sur le trottoir... Je suis retourné au comptoir la tête baissé, gateau brisé dans les mains. Sans aucune hesitation, le sourire aux lèvres la caissière a immédiatement échangé le gateau. C'est généreux, un gros merci ! En plus c'était délicieux
Les pâtisseries du les boissons sont vraiment excellents ! Le croissant avec ganache au chocolat c'est incroyable. Le seul gâteau que je n'ai pas aimé c'est la Charlotte de chocolat & poire.
Mamie Clafoutis serves an impressive array of pastries, of which the o mon dieu (chocolate croissant), chausson aux pommes, & the classic butter croissant remain our top choices when in Montreal. Their loft style boulangerie allows patrons to enjoy a separate seating space upstairs (plus there's a nicely tuned piano too). 4/5 as the chocolate almond croissant, latte, & flat white fell...flat for us. Chocolate almond croissant hardly had any chocolate, & the espresso drinks were a little bland for us. Otherwise, will be back for the other pastries next time we're in town.

my favourite place for french pastries in montreal! the chocolatine is my go-to, though I've had the apricot tart & the berry clafoutis before & they were delicious too. I love how friendly the staff are & I love playing their piano in the seating area on the second floor :)

Sweet cafe! Came here for a pastry & coffee on Saturday morning & enjoyed the chill vibes of the semi-hidden seating area. The staff were so friendly & the pastries we had were good. I was a bit sad to see only two quite boring vegan options but at least I got something. The oat milk they use didn't really froth properly so my cappuccino could have been better but the coffee tasted good so I wasn't mad about it. Extra points for being open really early in the morning so you could come by on the way to work
Sympa, bon, &...dès maintenant, pas que des tasses jetables ; merci de votre écoute ! Nice staff, good food, & no longer, only single-use throwaway cups. Thanks for listening !

I've been to the St. Henri location. This one is pretty similar, although the seating is much better. More seating available in the upstairs room, there's even a piano I played around with a bit. Couldn't remember the first location's selection well enough to compare. But independently it's great, splendid selection of sweet & savoury items. Service was fine as well.
