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.

Super service pour ma part. Personnel très sympathiques & accueillant. Propre à l'intérieur & plutôt grand , donc plusieurs places assises. J'ai pu goûter au sweet cône avec fruits des champs & c'était parfait, de plus qu'il faisait très chaud à l'extérieur. Un bon ajout selon moi puisqu'ils m'ont expliqué que c'était une alternative à la pâtisserie originale, ce qui fait la différence surtout en été. Je recommande fortement d'y faire un tour, vous ne serez pas déçu!
I'm originally from Hungary & living in Canada now, so I've had my fair share of chimney cakes-& this one was even better than what I've had back home! The shop is beautiful, the staff are super friendly, & the service was quick & top quality. A must-visit if you love kürt?skalács done right! Gratulálok, Dávid, csak így tovább!
Je suis originaire d'ou vienne ces patisseries & j'adore cet endroit. C'est normal qu'il aille changer un peu les recettes originales afin que plus de public soit touché. C'est risquant comme entreprise & ca marche très bien, ce qui prouve que le risque a valu la peine! A y aller absolument
Thought this would be one of those'trendy' but mediocre places; turns out it's actually very good.
Media posts about the original chimney cake make it look small, but I was surprised to be almost filled by just one & they aren't even that expensive: one with extra pistachio flavour on the outside & the pistachio spread on the inside is about 11$.
The staff were chill too, overall a great place to have an amazing pastry with a nice hot beverage.

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❤️
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.
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!

I went here yesterday & shared a dessert with my friends. If you're hungry, you can get one per person, but if you're here to taste, one original was good enough to share between 3 people. We ordered the pistachio dressing with the pistachio sauce & it tasted great! It came out nice & hot & I didn't find it too sweet. The person who served us was very welcoming & even gave us a cute little introduction & history of the dessert (though I think Transylvania is in Romania not Hungary). Overall, I would definitely come back if I'm in the area.
Original pastry, everything looks good & just tastes so good, staff very friendly & helpful to order the right dessert, it's all good. To be recommended without reservations.
I'm so happy I stopped by this place while walking. The staff were super friendly & they way they explained the origin of this sweet + the process of how it's made was great. I got the Original Hazelnut flavour & it was delicious. It wasn't too sweet & had lots of flavour. I regret not getting it with one of the toppings. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a tasty treat in the area!
