Reviews consistently praise Miette Boulangerie for its bread, especially sourdough, with loaves described as fresh, airy inside and crusty outside and often considered among the best in town. Sandwiches receive mixed feedback: some highlights like a well balanced club and other varieties are praised, while others note too much Dijon mustard, bread that gets soggy, or prices that feel steep for the value. Opinions on price vary, with many saying the cost does not always justify the quality, even though the artisanal care is clear. Service hours are mentioned as limiting, with sandwich service ending early and regulars sometimes left out. The atmosphere is described as charming and clean, with friendly staff and a cafe like vibe. The kitchen and bakery details are often commended for meticulous care, and some reviews mention seasonal loaf rotations that can cause favorites to disappear even as others appreciate the novelty. Overall, Miette Boulangerie stands out for its bread and attention to detail, though the cost and occasional inconsistency in sandwiches turn some readers cautious.
I used to like this bakery a lot & the sourdough taste is great, but my last two classic loaves (two weeks ago & today) have been filled with such large holes they're practically 1/3 air….Today the worker was kind enough to offer a free loaf after I showed them pictures of the previous one (1st pic), & they said they checked that the one they sliced this time was better, but when I got home it was even worse than before (2nd pic)….I understand the bubbles are the result of a long fermentation & process but this is too extreme & more of a fault. For the price too ($11)….
30$ for a loaf od bread & a focaccia. I don't mind paying this for the best bread there is but this is simply not the case here. The bread is good, but nothing to write home about. In my opinion, the taste does not justify the price at all. I saw the answers of the owner for the reviews saying the same thing, but the quality of the ingredients do not justify their steep prices. In my opinion, a lot of the hype is the result of their great instagram & marketing efforts.
You can find as good & even better at a better price around Montréal for you weekly bread.
They have great bread, but this particular visit was about their viral turkey club sandwich.
Don't get me wrong. It was very good. Fabulous balance of ingredients & super fresh. Naturally, the bread was top-notch.
The price though. $25 after tax & tip. For a sandy. I need that under $20 if I'm gonna be a regular. Definitely worth a shot though, just not an every day sandwich.
Olive & walnut loaf was flat & a bit gummy but they were fair & knocked two bucks off the price. Taste was interesting, crumb still holding. Maybe not the best day.
Asked to buy some of their starter, cashier said it was their'closely guarded secret', politely refused. Was advised to ask other bakeries in the area. I wonder if that secret is holding them back. Great baguettes, though!

Great bread. As others noted, I don't understand the no slicing policy. At this price point it should be an option to those who want it sliced at the time of purchase. Doing it at home just doesn't come out the same! Also they run out quickly, I came to the store twice & at 1 pm they were out of the Olive walnut...
Really amazing sourdough .. however don't understand the policy against slicing .. given the price point I'm happy to order in advance so they can slice the next day. Slicing is major inconvenience.
Really great bread - that is undeniable! However, they don't slice it for you. I hate hack-job slices. So, I won't be going back until they run their loaves through a sliver for customers. Especially at the price they're charging. & yes, of course, they turn the iPad around for a tip. Workers deserve fair wages!! (Miette could learn a few things from Fry's in Victoria)
Amazing sourdough breads! If I had to pick a favorite, it's the olive-walnut loaf. But it's hard to choose as they're all so delicious & worth the price!
