Bon endroit pour un brunch. Normal que l'endroit soit si courru: les gâteaux sont absolument délicieux. Les employé(e)s sont à l'écoute & attentionné(e)s. Prix très raisonnables pour la qualité.

Excellent service. Mentioned that we were celebrating a Birthday & the lady put a birthday candle on the slice of cake that we chose, & even lit it for us! Lovely spot with great coffee & matcha lattes. Highly recommend the Savrina & Opera cake!

Pains & Saveurs - A Lovely Bakery with Room to Shine
Stopped by Pains & Saveurs during a stroll through Montreal, & it turned out to be a charming little find. The bakery has a beautiful storefront-warm, modern, & inviting, with the smell of fresh bread & pastries drifting out as you walk by. It definitely has that cozy European café vibe, with wood accents, nice displays, & a peaceful energy that makes you want to sit down & stay a while.
The pastries are really the star here. I tried the croissant, a pain au chocolat, & a pistachio tart-everything was buttery, flaky, & well-executed. You can tell the ingredients are high-quality & made with care. The croissant especially had a great balance of crisp & softness. Not overly greasy, & not dry like some places. Just right.
Their bread selection also looked amazing. I grabbed a small sourdough loaf to go, & it held up beautifully at home. Great crust, great chew. If I lived nearby, I'd be back regularly just for that.
The coffee was good-not mind-blowing, but solid. I ordered a cappuccino, & it was smooth & balanced. Definitely enjoyable with the pastries, though not necessarily a standout on its own.
Staff were polite & helpful, although a bit on the reserved side. I wouldn't say it was the warmest service I've ever had, but they were efficient & professional. The pace was calm, & even when a few people came in at once, they handled it well.
Prices are slightly on the higher end, but honestly fair considering the quality. You're paying for craftsmanship, fresh ingredients, & a lovely environment, so I didn't mind it at all.
Why 4 stars & not 5? Just a couple small things-service could be a touch more personal, & while the pastry game is strong, the coffee & vibe could be pushed just a little further to make it a full-on destination spot. But still, very impressed overall.
Would I go back? Absolutely. Great for a quiet coffee break, a box of treats, or to pick up a loaf of bread that actually tastes like something. If you're in Montreal & enjoy bakeries, Pains & Saveurs is well worth a visit.
