I just don't understand how it's not a 5 star ⭐ place. I'll explain: our experience was beyond amazing 😍. Their food & pastries make you freeze in time you just simply don't want it to be over. I had their spiced carrots dish, definitely recommend it was an explosion of complex flavors & I still don't know how they got the consistency so perfect. Try their s'mores croissants. I can't understand some people's negative comments about service because they were very kind, we didn't have Canadian phone plan & one of their servers let us use his phone, we went there at two different times & both they were nice & professional not like typical servers in the US that bother you 15 times during your meal because they want you to leave a large tip. Prices are quite fair considering how good the food is, for example we got 2 cappuccinos, 2 huge s'mores croissants & 1 entree simply because we couldn't eat more than that & the total was CA$41 including 15% tip (about US$ 30) I'd say you pay more in the gross Starbucks for a drink full of high fructose syrup.
After sooooo many years I finally made it here! & I'm looking forward to coming back in the warmer months, to sit outside & enjoy the gardens while having a drink & a bite. It's definitely a destination for locals & tourists alike. The menu is innovative, vegetarian friendly & the best part is being able to buy amazing breads, pastries, coffee, beer & sausage to go! The staff is very attentive & professional & the interior is warm & inviting . It's a must on your culinary trip up North!

Wow : chausson aux pommes, 🍒cerise 🍒 & 🍫chocolat🍫. Tout simplement, Wow. Café Lattè ☕ excellent! Trop bon. 🎶Musique🎶 forte, mais j'imagine que c'est pour créer une ambiance? Difficile de parler sans 🗣️crier🗣. Mais, bon...
Absolutely the best!! The bread is so unique & tasty, the pastries are delicious, the brunch menu is gourmand, & the staff is friendly. Bravo for this amazing restaurant, the only thing we don't really like is when eating outside, your plate is served on some compostable plate & utensils.
Repas anniversaire de mon épouse. Dix neuf amis autour de la table, service souriant & efficace, repas servit chaud & tous ont mangé en même temps. Dessert sur mesure, un succès. Merci à toute l'équipe.
Nourriture VRAIMENT EXCEPTIONNELLE !!! Mais c'est difficile d'apprécier ces délices avec ces inconvénients.. Le bruit est assourdissant: musique trop forte, gens qui crient pour se faire entendre. Nous avons attendu 45 minutes pour avoir notre commande.... Les tables donnent le sentiment d'être dans un réfectoire ou une cafétéria !!!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting "Merci la Vie" patisserie, & I was thoroughly impressed. The first thing that catches your eye is the welcoming atmosphere & charming design of the space, which immediately makes you feel at ease. However, the true highlight is the extraordinary selection of fresh pastries & sweets they offer. I sampled several delights, including freshly baked croissants, delightful cakes, & artisanal cookies. Every bite was a true explosion of flavors, & you could sense the care & attention that goes into making these treats. The staff is courteous & helpful, ready to provide recommendations & advice. Additionally, I noticed that the patisserie uses high-quality ingredients, which undoubtedly reflects in the taste of their products. In short, "Merci la Vie" is a genuine gem for pastry enthusiasts. If you're looking for a place to treat your taste buds to exceptional sweets in a charming atmosphere, look no further. I highly recommend it & can't wait to return to savor more delights!
La qualité des produits est au rendez-vous. Cependant 6,61$ (taxes comprises) pour un petit muffin c’est démesuré…
Pour faire suite à la réponse du commerce, j’aimerais passer la remarque que les produits utilisés n’ont rien d’exceptionnel! De plus, il faut m’expliquer en quoi vos procédés sont plus profond!!! Est-ce le côté holistique qui justifie ce coût? Si c’est le cas, cela ne justifie en rien le coût. Dit moi que vos obligations financières en fin de mois sont élevés & j’aurais moins l’impression de me faire remplir….
Juste absolument incroyable... à jeter par terre, je vois jure! J'étais septique côté déjeuner car il n'y a que 2 plats sur le menu mais OMG!... quel déjeuner... "ZE" déjeuner! ! Un de mes meilleurs à vie! "Merci la vie" 😋!!
