Les avis convergent sur la qualité des produits: viennoiseries, croissants, cannelés et kouign amann restent souvent très appréciés, avec des mentions d'un goût exceptionnel et d'un savoir-faire artisanal, même si certains constats évoquent des prix élevés et des produits qui ne paraissent plus fabriqués sur place. L'ambiance et le décor reçoivent des verdicts contrastés: des lieux chaleureusement accueillants et lumineux, parfois décrits comme charmants, d'autres notent une decoration plus chic et une atmosphere impersonnelle apres la renovation et le passage a un systeme en libre-service. Le nouveau mode de fonctionnement est fréquemment pointé du doigt: service automatisé, auto-service et distribution sans interaction humaine, avec des reproches sur l'absence d'ame et sur des gestes comme le pourboire demandé par une machine. Certains soulignent que malgré tout, les produits restent au niveau attendu et que certaines adresses gardent encore l'esprit d'origine lorsque l'accueil et le comptoir restent humains. En bref, Mamie Clafoutis demeure une reference pour ses delices mais l'evolution vers une experience plus moderne et autonome divise la clientele entre ceux qui regrettent l'esprit d'antan et ceux qui apreciant l'efficacité et la qualite des patisseries.
A truly artisanal boulangerie & pâtisserie with a unique charm. The decorations are beautiful, & the interior design is warm & inviting. The breads & confectionery are always fresh, carefully made, & full of flavor. The creative coffee machine adds a special touch to the experience. The attendant is friendly & welcoming, making each visit pleasant. A unique bakery that stands out & is well worth a stop.

The Bread is always great, this is not the problem. It is not the same place since the renovation. No panache, no atmosphere, cramped tables with products being sold on them as you drink your coffee, plus my bread wasn't sliced properly & was all broken. The love is gone!
I love this place, living in Montreal it is my to go place for breakfast & a late coffee , the Oh Mon Dieu croissant is the best of the world. This is an iconic place that represents the great food & nice vibrant environment in Montreal.

J'adore cet endroit. Habitant à Montréal, c'est mon boulangerie préféré pour le petit-déjeuner & un café tardif. Le croissant Oh Mon Dieu est le meilleur au monde. C'est un lieu emblématique qui représente la bonne cuisine & le dynamisme de Montréal.
If you're looking for a unique coffee experience, Mamie Clafoutis is an absolute gem! Their coffee maker is a work of art, brewing the perfect cup every time, rich in flavor & incredibly smooth. The vibe of the shop itself is warm & inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind or catch up with friends.
Now, let's talk about the Oh Mon Dieu pastry. WOW. It's a decadent, melt-in-your-mouth treat that's unlike anything I've had before. The layers, the sweetness, the texture - it's all perfection in one bite. This pastry alone is worth the visit!
i can't stomach giving this bakery less than 2 stars, because it once held a special place in my heart. I was so excited to see what the renovation would be, especially after seeing the concept art of tables & chairs & a cafe-esque setup, i thought that FIANLLY there would be a good bakery to sit at & read & have a couple pastries at in the neighborhood (seriously, you were the best pastries around!) & after so many months i have been absolutely gutted by just how soulless my favourite bakery now is. looking over the reviews, i don't have much to add to what several others have said. the sanitized & ultramodern look are a complete turn off from the vibrant place it was, & even the interesting ideas in the concept art. what happened? i used to come here to grab a coffee before work. sometimes, there was a line & i got anxious thinking my order of one coffee wouldn't be quick enough because of the line. i understand part of the design has been to allow people in my situation to speed through. well, i can say confidently i would give anything to wait in that line again. this empty & depressing place (i'm sorry, the decor is cute but it is a far cry from the homey-ness of the old place) is not worth the streamlining. i understand from the other replies that the business needed a redesign. & i was on board! i was looking forward to it. but this... this was plain murder. i have no interest in trying to pay with my phone. i don't want to use what looks like the same machine as they have in a 7/11 to make coffee. hell, just having a couple carafes of drip would be better than a glorified kurig. the single employee who was there kind of awkwardly staring at me screamed volumes that no one quite knows what the flow is supposed to be here. no shame to him, if i were in his shoes i would avoid contact with customers too! rather, the design of this place being self-serve means employees will feel it is a hassle to help people. because customer service is always a hassle (i work in the field), but normally it is necessary & the ice is easily broken. not here. it's cold, there's no seating, & honestly, i want to cry because of the beautiful bakery my neighborhood has lost. i'm sorry you felt that this was necessary. i don't know your business. i can only hope that other bakeries do not follow on in your footsteps. this... sucks. :(

Disappointed in the changes. I think the renovations are well done but the concept is not great. It doesn't have the authentic bakery feel that it used to have. Why change something that wasn't broken? The pastry & bread products are the same & are still delicious at least. However, the coffee bar is a terrible idea. You press a button & your coffee comes out of a tap. It does not taste as good as it used to. Why am I paying this much for lower quality? There's only one size available & it doesn't even fill up the cup. You cannot replace a good espresso machine & barista with an automatic coffee machine. Also, what happened to the nice sitting area? It just feels like they don't want you to stay long. Suggestions: Perhaps have a couple check out stations as an option. This will allow customers to browse around & still interact with staff - similarly to a small grocery store. Replace the automatic coffee machine with a coffee bar, where a barista is working & making fresh coffee using a real espresso machine.
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.
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

We tried some croissants & a dessert with pistachio, nothing really special. The coffee wasn't good at all. It's good that there is a comfortable second floor for sitting & eating, although if you order many hot drinks, you'll have to take them yourself through a narrow stairs. Wouldn't repeat.
