We were walking around Montreal's Chinatown when we spotted this awesome bakery, Patisserie Coco. It's definitely a haven for cake & pastry lovers! This bakery sells so many different kinds of delicious pastries & desserts too. They have breads, buns, puffs, cookies, biscuits, Swiss rolls, fruit cakes, steam cakes, muffins, flaky puff balls, green tea mochis, sponge cakes & many others. As for desserts, there's different varieties of cheesecakes, mousse, bubble tea, smoothies, milk tea & etc. We bought some bubble milk tea, coffee buns & cookies. They tasted absolutely fresh & delicious!
*Update: We were visiting Montreal & decided to stop by Pâtisserie Coco, our favourite bakery in Chinatown! We got the Egg Tarts, Coconut Twist, Cookies, Cake Roll, Nutella Twist, Brioche Buns, Preserved Egg Puff, Almond Strawberry Tarts, Tiramisu & numerous Bubble Teas (Brown Sugar, Taro Milk Tea, Matcha Brown Sugar, Peach Oolong Tea, Mango Green Tea etc). Everything tasted absolutely delicious!
We stopped in here on a whim after a show literally 30 minutes ago & I practically sprinted to leave a review. We got a steamed bbq pork bun, a coconut custard pastry, a mango mochi, & a skewer of beignets.
I could cry at how delicious these are (were - we inhaled them). The beignets were simultaneously dense & fluffy, the mochi was delicious & surprising, the custard cake was crispy on top & perfectly sweet with an incredible coconut custard, & the pork bun was cozy & rich. Just all 10/10 pastries.
I bought four cakes & all of them were completely spoiled. The filling was watery, the mille-crêpe layers were tough, & the fruit had already gone bad. I wouldn't recommend buying any of their cream cakes.
Food: 3/5 - I bought 3 assorted buns & pastries - slice of cake, BBQ pork bun & matcha cake slice. None of them wowed me. Lacked flavor. Maybe cuz I bake my own stuff a lot. I also bought a mango iced tea on the other side of the store. They offer basic tea or milk teas. I had a mango tea with coconut jelly with no sugar or ice.
Service: 4/5 - good service overall
Atmosphere: 4/5 - clean & nice premise
Wide selection of brioches, buns & cakes 🍰 Service was quick & efficient & everything was clearly labelled. The egg coconut brioche & pork steamed bun were standouts. They have a small seating area along the window with high stools with space for about 5.
