Reviews describe Pâtisserie Amaïro as a standout patisserie where French pastry technique meets delicate Japanese flavors. The comments highlight pastries crafted with evident love and care, featuring both French classics and Japanese treats such as anpan and melon pan, with hojicha and matcha notes appearing in lattes, cream puffs, and cakes. The strawberry shortcake and other seasonal desserts are repeatedly described as delicious, balanced, and not overly sweet, often likened to bite-sized artworks with complex, refined flavors and excellent textures. The teas and tea-based drinks are also valued, and many visitors remark on the warm, friendly service, a charming, cozy, mom-and-pop vibe, and an owner who is responsive and welcoming. Several notes mention new creations that invite return visits, while others warn desserts can sell out quickly and hours may be limited, yet the consensus is that the experience is worth a trip and has earned a place among favorite dessert spots for coffee or tea alongside remarkable pastries.
Amazing pastries! Unique & not too sweet. I went for my sister's birthday & we tried so many, & absolutely adored them all. Our favourite was the yuzu cheesecake & the Madame Charlotte!
my husband & i loved all the desserts we got from Patisserie Amairo☺? our favourites were definitely the chocolate raspberry cake, chocolate noir, yuzu cake & strawberry shortcake🫶 we also loved the japan week special (monaka printemps)🤤
patisserie amairo is run by the sweetest japanese lady who never fails to brighten our day when we visit her shop☺? she is extremely meticulous - everything is thoughtfully done, right down to the detailed design of the cake & even how the cake is secured to the box so it does not move around during transportation!
definitely give this place a try & i'm sure you won't regret this

Dans le cadre de la semaine du Japon, je suis allée chercher un monaka à l'érable & un aux fraises avec anko (pâte de haricots azuki). Je les ai mangé à la maison, donc j'ai eu le plaisir de faire l'assemblage ! C'était délicieux & savoureux. Je me suis procuré du thé en suivant les conseils pour l'accord avec les monakas. Un thé vert de la région de Kagoshima avec le komikan (petite tangerine très aromatique) provenant de l'île de Sakurajima. C'était comme refaire un voyage au Japon, un pur délice!
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!!)

Image 2. Cream Puff pastry, Maple Eclair crunch, Kabuki (limited one a year dark chocolate, matcha, red bean)
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.
