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.
The owner was working which was cool. Watching your treat be made in front of you is so special & the chimney cakes were divine!! I'll be back for sure.

Super fresh & delicious! The pastry had a nice doughy touch with a good crispy exterior. It's not overall sweet, just the perfect touch! The staff was really friendly as well!
Excellent sur toute la ligne.
Belle petite adresse qui gagne en popularité.
Tout est servi frais, fait sur commande.
Chaud & délicieux. Vive la Hongrie!
Aujourd'hui, j'ai dégusté un gâteau de cheminée & c'était un vrai régal ! Le personnel est très gentil & accueillant, & le restaurant est chaleureux & cosy à l'intérieur. J'ai beaucoup apprécié la décoration & la propreté. On se sent vraiment plongé dans l'ambiance chaleureuse de Noël, avec de délicieuses odeurs qui ajoutent au plaisir.
Félicitations pour cette idée merveilleuse ! Je vais acheter chaque fois quand je vais à Montréal, c'est le goût de mon enfance😍
Tucked at the corner of Rue Rachel & Rue St-Hubert, Ol' Sweet Pâtisserie is a delightful little spot that dessert lovers should definitely know about. Parking can be a bit tricky on busy weekends, but once you step inside, the effort feels completely worth it. The cozy space is filled with the smell of freshly baked pastries, & it instantly puts you in a good mood.
The staff here are warm, welcoming, & clearly passionate about what they do. They take the time to explain their treats & help you choose, which makes the experience feel personal & inviting. There are only a few seats inside, so it's more of a grab-&-go kind of place, but everything is made fresh & beautifully presented.
The star of the show is their Hungarian kürtõskalács (chimney cakes). Watching them prepare these sweet, spiral pastries is part of the fun-the dough is rolled, coated with sugar, & baked until perfectly golden, filling the air with a mouthwatering aroma. You can then customize your order with your choice of toppings, which adds a nice personal touch.
The pastries themselves are light, crisp, & sweet, with just the right balance of flavor & texture. Each bite feels indulgent but never heavy, the kind of dessert that makes you pause & enjoy the moment. Everything we tasted was fresh & made with care.
Ol' Sweet Pâtisserie isn't just another dessert shop-it's a charming little experience. Between the friendly service, unique creations, & unmistakable quality, it's clear that a lot of thought goes into everything they make.
If you have a sweet tooth, this place is definitely worth the detour. A well-deserved five stars.
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!
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
Les meilleures pâtisserie, à essayer absolument! Tellement de variétés, très difficile de choisir car tout est incroyable. Un incontournable du quartier assurément!
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.
