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.
Pâtisserie Ol' Sweet is easily one of the most memorable dessert spots I've come across. Their specialty-kürt?skalács, or chimney cakes-is a must-try: freshly baked, perfectly crisp, & filled with creative toppings that make each bite unforgettable.
Parking can be a bit tricky, & seating is limited, so it's not ideal for lingering. But if you're looking for something unique & delicious, this place absolutely delivers. Great for a quick treat or impressing out-of-town guests with something they've probably never had before.
I stopped by Ol' Sweet this past July with my friend Hady after a picnic in Parc La Fontaine, & it was the perfect sweet detour. This bakery is all about Hungarian chimney cakes (kürt?skalács), always baked fresh to order so you get that golden caramelized crust & soft fluffy inside.
Walking in felt cozy & nostalgic, with old school music like La Vie en Rose playing & David, the owner, greeting us with such warmth. He told us Ol' Sweet has been open for four years, though before that they built their name at festivals & events around the city.
We went classic with our order & loved how each one is made freshly in front of you & doesn't need much topping to shine. The menu also has fun spreads, fruit, or ice cream for anyone who wants add a little extra pizazz .
Bonus: when there is enough extra dough it's put on the Too Good To Go app, which makes grabbing a treat at the end of the day both delicious & eco-friendly.
Not a collab, just a happy foodie sharing a Montréal gem.

Nous avons trouvé malheureusement trop cuit & le Nesquik pas assez présent en goût comparer à d'autres endroits que nous avons fait. La citronade est très bonne & l'accueil agréable.

Super fun idea with different options for toppings, sauces & ice cream to pair with the pastry. Expect about a ten minute wait if you did not place an order online beforehand. I got a nesquik one that was quite good but I definitely would want to come back to try different options.
C'était super bon & les gens sont super accueillant, je le recommande fortement pour quelqu'un qui veut connaître Des saveurs connus, fait d'une autre façon!
J'adore cette pâtisserie. La pâte est moelleuse à l'intérieur & parfaitement croustillante à l'extérieur. Vous y retournerez plusieurs fois, c'est sûr!
Kürt?skalács is always a favorite when you want something from home from Transylvania! David does an amazing kürt?s, very delicious & fulfilling! Lots of options & even with some delicious ice cream! Our favorite is always just the simple kürt?s :)
If you never tried just do it, don't count the calories, does not matter :)
