Reviews describe Pâtisserie Amaïro as a cozy spot where French pastries meet Japanese flavors, with pastries that are delicious and crafted with care. Flavors are original and balanced, not overly sweet, with favorites like the strawberry shortcake, cream puffs, matcha desserts, and a comforting hojicha latte. The staff and the owner are friendly and attentive, contributing to a welcoming experience. Desserts can sell out quickly, so arriving early is advised, and the cakes are noted for refined textures and artistry. Overall the place is seen as a standout, high quality bakery that pairs excellent coffee and tea with a gentle Japanese hospitality and French technique.
All the pastries are made here with so much love & care; you can absolutely taste it! French style pastries with a Japanese twist are something you won't find anywhere else. Of course, there's also the classic Japanese treats like an-pan & melon pan which are always a hit for me.
Tsubasa-san is always coming up with new creations so make sure you come back often!!
Or just come for a tea, the selection of teas are truly special :)
French-Japanese pastries that fusions the delicate & simple flavours together. I loved every bite of the chantilly cream & it's not too sweet to the taste. I'd recommend coming early for a wide variety of desserts as they sell out pretty fast. Price range is 4.5$-12$ per desserts (depends on the dessert) where as drinks are 4.50$-7$ each. (Me & my friend loved their cream puff pastry, we recommend it!!)

Ordered a small cake (strawberry shortcake), & it was the most delightful strawberry shortcake I've had (I like to consider myself a cake/sweet specialist). It was like biting into a perfectly balanced & sweetened strawberry cloud. The owner was very responsive & was flexible for pickup.
10/10 experience, will come back very soon!
Thank you for the delicious birthday cake!
I am so glad to have discovered this pastry shop over the Holidays! The pastries were delectable & so was the matcha latte. The owner was delightful. I will come back for sure.

This deserves the 5* ratings it has. Wife approved!!
I stumbled upon this gem after some google searches. It's worth making a trip for. They have amazing selections that are expertly crafted. The chef & owner is very courteous & exceptionally talented. You can taste & see the care that goes into each of her creations.
The flavours were well balanced & not overly sweet. They were complex & refined. You're in for a treat.
5* for the pastries & service. This is a highly recommend stop.
Unlike many soul-less big business coffee shops designed by XYZ architecture/interior design firm with group XYZ that seems to be populating Montreal, Aïdo has the charm of a mom-&-pop small place with excellent cake & coffee that is owned & operated by the chef.
Other coffee shops would have cold service from employees who aren't paid enough to care, but this one was different!
The place is the right size & has multiple seating formats perfect for solo, small groups or even tables that would be good with kids.
I had their hojicha latte & it was delicious. I saw that there are many other tea items in the menu, & they also sell small bags of from-japan teas.
The two cakes I took were well balanced, the cream was fresh & not cloyingly sweet. All of the cakes are Japanese 🍰 & it's a nice change from other styles of pastries Montreal has a lot of.

Excellent, delicately crafted pastries that combines Japanese flavours with French techniques. The teas & tea-based drinks are also a must-try. The service is friendly & attentive. A hidden jewel!
