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 walked in here craving something sweet & didn't have high expectations but I was BLOWN AWAY by this pastry. I got the cinnamon sugar traditional flavour & I still cannot believe the texture of it? It's crispy on the outside & the most insane soft on the inside. I took it to-go & when I was handed my order the cook asked me to eat it as soon as possible because it's best eaten fresh. I'm so glad he told me that, because I ate it the second I walked out & by the last bite I could tell he was right! I cannot wait to be back
A wonderful experience. Great food (we tried the cinnamon sugar & the wild berry ice cream, with local Coaticook ice cream), wonderful service (friendly, professional, helpful in explaining their offerings), clean & terrific background music that was not at all too loud (Motown hits, Bryan Adams...). As a local, it was our first try & we will definitely be going back.

It was fresh. I ordered the Nutella Pastrie with bananas, strawberries, vanilla ice cream & syrup on top. The pastrie was cinnamon flavor. Looking forward to going back.
Ever tried Kürtöskalács? 🍰✨ This traditional Hungarian chimney cake originally from Transylvania is crispy on the outside, soft & airy on the inside, & coated with your choice of sweet toppings. Whether you're into classic cinnamon sugar or feeling adventurous with chocolate, Ol' Sweet is the only pastry shop serving Kürtöskalács not just in Montreal, but in Quebec! 😍
It is freshly baked, & a dessert experience you can't miss. Plus, the heavenly smell of these cakes baking will pull you right in 🤤
I liked my bf's pistachio flavoured chimney cake more than my apple cinnamon cone. But had I only ever tasted the apple cinnamon cone I would've been a very happy snacker instead of plagued by envy. I will be back. Pricing is justified, customer service was excellent (very friendly & patient staff).
10/10 - This place is an absolute must-visit in Montreal! The texture of their pastries is incredible-crispy on the outside & perfectly soft on the inside. Everything is made fresh to order, ensuring the best quality. We tried the original with cinnamon sugar & pistachios, paired with their pistachio spread, & it was divine. Truly a masterpiece of flavors & textures! 겉바속촉 끝판왕❤️

Definitely need to try this place people. Honeslty super different dessert then usually places. It's Hungarian transylvania pastry. Almost like a cinnamon dessert. & it's amazing because it's like a spiral & you can rip off the pieces & eat. & you can get like what I got which was the classic with ice cream & Nutella & you can add fruits in it.
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!
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.
This was my favorite experience in Montreal so far! Walked past & smelled something delicious, so we doubled back after lunch. I was mesmerized by the way these pastries are made & by the time my order was complete, I was ready to apply for a job! I got the coconut with Nutella spread & my bf got the cinnamon sugar with Nutella & both were delicious. 🤤
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

Absolutely delicious & awesome place! My friends & I went in very last minute (about 15 minutes before closing), & the worker was super friendly & even explained to us tourists about what the dessert was & their recommendations. We got the cinnamon coating with pistachio filling, & it was absolutely delicious! The outside was crunchy, but the inside was chewy & warm. It had unique flavours & a large portion that all three of us couldn't finish. Definitely worth the visit & would come back again to try their other flavours. One of my favourite dessert places in Montreal!
Amazing pastries that they make to order. We sampled the cinnamon sugar & the cinnamon sugar with Nutella, both were fantastic! Operated by friendly staff who walked through the history & how they were made. Great for a quick snack
I couldn’t believe that there’s actually a place in Montréal where we could have cozonac secuiesc. DELICIOUS! Just like I last had in Transilvania, Romania! Very nice place, clean & cozy, we had the cinnamon & sugar one & the walnuts one. Crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside & of course, warm like it should be served! Done then & there! Stuff is friendly & welcoming! I recommend this place! Next time we’ll try the modern variation, with ice cream inside 😋
