On se spécialise dans la confection de kürtőskalács aussi connu sous le nom de gâteau cheminée en français! Toujours cuit frais! We specialize in the making of kürtőskalács or also known in english as chimney cake! Always freshly baked!
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.
Loved the chimney cakes, had the pistachio cake with pistachio spread as well as the hazelnut & Nutella one, both delicious, well worth the detour & wait time for a hot & fresh pastry.😋
I heard the wonderful stories of this place & decided to check it out. I ordered the nutella cone. It tasted pretty good. Cut to a month later, i return & re-order the nutella cone. This time it tasted different. I brush it off. Next day i pass by the store during closing hours. I see an employee pooing in some cones through the windows. Overall not a bad experience.

This reminds me so much if my childhood! It is delicious, & just the smell of freshly baked brioche reminds me of the romanian sunday markets. I send a photo of the Nutella filled Kurtoskallach to my mom & she was surprised I found this in Montreal. What a treat!
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.
I tried chimney cake before in Prague & Budapest but the OI version is extremely tasty & different. not traditional at all, combining berries ice cream with the classical cone. Also a different flavor for nutella fans. Give it a try if you're a fan of a chimney cake twist.
Aujourd'hui j'ai essayé pour la première fois cette pâtisserie hongroise. J'ai été surpris par le goût & la qualité. Le personnel était très accueillant. Il nous a présenté rapidement les origines du Kurtoskalacs, puis nous a recommandé les saveurs (Coco Nutella) & pistache. Rien à dire, fantastique sinon ! Autre chose, les prix sont excellents considérant la quantité. Cette boulangerie-pâtisserie est un must !
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!
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. 🤤
We visited Ol' Sweet after hearing mixed reviews about the shop, both good & bad, & decided to experience it for ourselves. Right from the start, the staff made a great impression. They were incredibly welcoming & attentive, asking if it was our first time. They took the time to explain how things work, guiding us through the menu & helping us choose the perfect cone cake based on our preferences. The atmosphere in the shop is quite simple. There's nothing overly fancy about the décor, but everything was clean & neat. There's a small bar where you can sit, as well as a table with chairs by the windows, which gives the place a cozy, laid-back vibe. One thing that stood out was some of the reviews I'd read, where people complained about not having access to the restroom. Honestly, I'm on the shop's side with this. They explained in several responses that the preparation area is close to the bathroom, & based on my own work experience, people don't always respect hygiene standards. Many leave restrooms in an unpleasant state, which can be a nightmare for businesses, especially when food is being prepared nearby. Now, onto the most important part-the food! Ol' Sweet offers two types of cones: sweet & original. The sweet cones are ready-made & served quickly, with the option to add your favorite ice cream flavor. There are many flavors to choose from, so there's something for everyone. On the other hand, the original cones are customized to your taste, which takes about 15 minutes to prepare. This makes them perfect for those who want a unique, freshly made treat. I opted for the Chocoholic cone with Nutella & banana, filled with Coaticook ice cream. The portion size was huge for me that I shared it with my kid. We both loved it! I also tried the original cone, filled with coconut & Nutella, & it was just as delicious. Even after taking it home, it still tasted amazing, & a quick reheat in the microwave brought it back to its freshly made state. On a less positive note, I wasn't too thrilled with their homemade lemonade. Unfortunately, it's like most lemonades I've tried from various shops-more like lemon-flavored water. It lacked the right balance of sweetness & citrus that I was hoping for. One more thing I want to mention is that Ol'Sweet has two different menus: one for the summer & one for the winter. They'll be rolling out their winter menu next week, & I'm excited to try it, especially since it features custard & cream, which sound perfect for the colder months. As a tip for those looking to experiment at home, you can get an empty cone from the shop & fill it with melted cheese or other toppings for a savory treat.
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 !

Les cornets étaient supers bon. On avait prit celui au Nutella I think. Mais cest très sucré lol😂 si vous êtes au régime , vous n'êtes pas à la bonne place . Super bon concept . & s/o à la fille au cheveux blond qui nous a expliqué les origines & le concept du menu. Elle était super professionnelle ❤️
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
Friendly staff & it smelled delicious as you enter the lovely decorated store. Their funnel cakes are crunchy on the outside & fluffy warm on the inside. It tastes less sweeter than Beavertails if that's what you are used to but it's all good. It was the perfect level of sweetness! You can add nutella inside if more sweetness is your thing. Highly recommend to pay a visit if you never had a funnel cake & if you have then well there's always room for some more sweetness in your life :3
