Les avis sur Ol' Sweet Pastry convergent sur une expérience sucrée originale et chaleureuse: des Kürtőskalács hongrois frais et préparés sur commande, croustillants à l extérieur et moelleux à l intérieur, avec des déclinaisons comme cannelle sucre, pistache, noix, chocolat, fruits et des cônes garnis de crème pistache ou de glace. La dégustation est souvent associée à une ambiance cosy et conviviale et au plaisir de voir les pâtisseries cuire sous les yeux, ce qui donne une impression d artisanat. Les saveurs les plus appréciées incluent le pistache et les combinaisons avec glace ou fruits, et beaucoup disent qu ils reviendraient volontiers, certains soulignant le rapport qualité prix et la fraîcheur des produits. Des détails pratiques reviennent aussi: le lieu est plutôt take away, les places assises sont limitées et le stationnement peut être difficile; un léger temps d attente peut être constaté lorsque l on commande sur place, mais l expérience est globalement très positive. En somme, Ol' Sweet Pastry est perçu comme une halte sucrée incontournable pour une touche d Europe de l Est sans quitter Montréal.
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!
It's so great that we have a place like this, so we can experience good chimney cake. Wife & I loved it. Only downside is I wish they had more lactose free options.

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.
What an awesome & special experience !!! The team was so friendly & efficient :) All your hard work & delicious chimney cakes are genuinely appreciated! Köszönjuk nagyon szépen 😀
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!

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
I tried both the chimney cake & an ice cream with the special cone. For the cake you should wait 5 mins for the sugar to harden before eating it. Then it has a deliciously fluffy interior with a crunchy sweet topping. My favourite is the traditional with walnut, but they offer different variations. It's not very heavy on the stomach so would be a perfect dessert after dinner. I've never seen an ice cream cone like the ones they sell here, so I had to give it a try. The combination of cone, ice-cream & toppings are deliciously sweet. The staff happily explain what a chimney cake is & are traditionally trained. You can even watch them make it!
Growing up in eastern Europe I used to eat funnel cakes almost every day. Not easy to find them in Canada but this place is definitely the spot. Only thing that can make them even better is baking them on a wood fire. The flavor & composition is still very good, hard outer shell & soft inside just perfect.
This bakery truly stands out with it's singular offering of this unique chimney cake from Eastern Europe. As a foodie I was impressed to see something I've never seen before. The staff is excellent, they are prepared to give each visitor a brief introduction to the offering & the varieties they offer. Very professionally trained in both service & craft. Prices are reasonable. The pastries are semi-sweet, & the freshness really comes out in each bite. Limited seating, seems better to take with you on the street in warmer months.
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
What a delight to find the beloved chimney cake during our family trip to Montreal! Not only that we cherished the find, but the taste, the passion for a perfect recipe & the a la carte serving & service, in a (literally) spotless location, were truly impressive! Stopping by it's definitely worth it!
