Reviews portray Ol' Sweet Pastry as a cozy spot where chimney cakes are baked to order, crispy on the outside and soft inside, offered in flavors like cinnamon sugar, pistachio, Nutella, and berry creations, with many saying the pastries are fresh, flavorful and appealing, and that watching them be made adds a special touch; the atmosphere, decor and friendly staff receive frequent praise, and customers often note good value for Montreal, with some calling it a memorable detour and a must visit for dessert lovers; there are occasional notes about limited seating and parking and the wait time during peak periods, and a few reviewers mention variability in taste or sweetness, but the overall sentiment is enthusiastic and many say they will return and recommend Ol' Sweet Pastry; there is one unusual negative anecdote about an incident observed locally, but it does not define the overall positive impression of the fresh, high quality treats and attentive service.
I discovered chimney cakes at Christmas markets in Europe, & once I found out there was a shop featuring them in Montreal, I couldn't wait to go. My husband & I went twice while visiting the city, & it was amazing & delicious each time. Definitely a highlight of our trip & a delectable dessert not to be missed! Our favorite is the cinnamon & sugar with Nutella. Yum!

It's so great that we have a place like this, so we can experience good chimney cake. Wife & I loved it. Only downside is I wish they had more lactose free options.
Delicious chimney funnel cakes in the Plateau. Freshly made to your specs & served steaming hot from their special ovens. We had the basic cinnamon sugar coated cake, & the Arachide & cie (Nesquick coated & peanut butter spread inside, filled with chopped bananas & topped with salted caramel ice cream). Excellent place, fun place to visit when you're on Rachel Street.
What an awesome & special experience !!! The team was so friendly & efficient :) All your hard work & delicious chimney cakes are genuinely appreciated! Köszönjuk nagyon szépen 😀
Si tu aimes te sucrer le bec de temps à autres ou par pure gourmandise! Alors, Ol' Sweet est la pâtisserie faite pour toi. Située en plein coeur du Plateau Mont-Royal, il est impossible de passer à côté de cette pâtisserie Hongroise sans te laisser envoûter par l'irrésistible parfum de leurs Kürtöskalács qui te saisit dès l'intersection Rachel/St-Hubert. Cet arôme gourmand de gâteaux te guide comme par magie jusqu'à leur vitrine. Des aînés aux plus jeunes gourmands, chacun y trouve son bonheur : pistache, Nutella, forêt noire... chaque cheminée a son propre univers gourmand. & pour celles & ceux qui préfèrent une touche de fraîcheur, les cônes Chimney garnis de crème glacée sont à tomber!!! Pour ma part, j'ai craqué pour le Sweet cône Arachides & Cie. Un régal! Mon verdict : Situé à quelques pas du parc Lafontaine, c'est l'excuse parfaite pour un petit détour sucreries. Je leur donne 5 étoiles bien méritées car dès l'entrée, les portraits accrochés au mur nous plongent immédiatement dans le savoir faire ancestral Hongrois. Le service est impeccable, & l'équipe adooorable. Je recommande les yeux fermés, & d'ailleurs, j'y retourne déjà ce week-end pour une nouvelle dose d'Ol' Sweet !

Amazing experience all around! Much love to the lovely employees who walked me through the many delicious options & created the chimney cakes & sweet cones (with ice cream) made to order (you can watch them!). We got the original cinnamon sugar chimney cake, the Chocoholic & the PB & Co, every one was so yummy! Not too sweet & a great combo of flavors. Highly recommend Patisserie Ol' Sweet, we'll definitely be back to try the other flavors very soon!
Amazing chimney funnel cake with sugar & cinnamon, I love it | My First try was perfect, but the second time I went there it was a bit too long roasted
I tried both the chimney cake & an ice cream with the special cone. For the cake you should wait 5 mins for the sugar to harden before eating it. Then it has a deliciously fluffy interior with a crunchy sweet topping. My favourite is the traditional with walnut, but they offer different variations. It's not very heavy on the stomach so would be a perfect dessert after dinner. I've never seen an ice cream cone like the ones they sell here, so I had to give it a try. The combination of cone, ice-cream & toppings are deliciously sweet. The staff happily explain what a chimney cake is & are traditionally trained. You can even watch them make it!
This bakery truly stands out with it's singular offering of this unique chimney cake from Eastern Europe. As a foodie I was impressed to see something I've never seen before. The staff is excellent, they are prepared to give each visitor a brief introduction to the offering & the varieties they offer. Very professionally trained in both service & craft. Prices are reasonable. The pastries are semi-sweet, & the freshness really comes out in each bite. Limited seating, seems better to take with you on the street in warmer months.
What a delight to find the beloved chimney cake during our family trip to Montreal! Not only that we cherished the find, but the taste, the passion for a perfect recipe & the a la carte serving & service, in a (literally) spotless location, were truly impressive! Stopping by it's definitely worth it!
