Pâtisserie Harmonie is described as offering a broad mix of traditional pastries and Asian specialties, with many items noted as fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. The mango and nut mochi are frequently praised, as are the generously filled buns and a vegan mochi option made with coconut milk, while a few tasters find some mochi a bit bland and the red bean paste more like a purée. The self service format and the small space create a lively, sometimes hectic atmosphere, especially when busy, though the window seating is pleasant for watching passersby. Evening visits can see fewer choices, but what remains is generally fresh and delicious. Some reviewers mention positives like a long standing appeal and a sense of reliability, and others highlight standout items such as egg tarts and traditional Chinese bakery breads. Overall, the place is regarded as a go to for a wide range of pastries and desserts at approachable prices, with strong praise for freshness and variety.
There is a variety of fresh-baked pastries, cookies, & breads.
The cashier is very efficient & you can het what you want & get out quickly.
The bakery is also full of returning customers, & plenty of children go there with their parents.
Has all the basic pastries & more. Unfortunately, a lot was sold out by the time I got there Monday evening but usually that's a good sign anyways. Prices are fair. Would go again.
I ordered their 🍤 curry rice, it's delicious, but they use plastic containers even you eat there which is the down point. But it's nice to sit at the window & watch people passing by outside.
Très bon! Il y a plus de choix chez Coco à l'autre coin, mais ici, on connaît le concept de service client!
Juste, les mochis sont un peu (très) fades en goût. (La pâte de haricot, n'est même pas vraiment une pâte, c'est une purée grossière sans sucre...)
Belle découverte! Un vrai délice
Large choix de pâtisseries asiatiques & classiques, ce qui fait tout le charme de l'endroit. Moins fan du mochi (question de goût personnel), mais tout le reste était excellent, avec un gros coup de coeur pour le beigne chinois!
Le concept est simple, c'est un self service, on remplit son cabaret avec ce qui nous fait envie!
Compared to the Chinese bakeries from Vancouver (even at $0.75-$1) more per piece, this is by far the best buns I've ever had (these buns are to the left hand side of the store). There's an abundant filling in every bun & they all taste delicious!! Will definitely need to make another stop before moving on to Quebec City. 5/5
Now, moving on to the right hand side of the store where they sell bubble tea, my daughter ordered a fresh mango & melon slushy, & it was more melon than anything & it didn't stay slushy. It was pure juice after 5 mins. This was a disappointment. 2/5 stars
You can never go wrong with a good ol' traditional Chinese bakery! This lovely little Chinatown spot features a wide selection of Chinese breads & pastries, all displayed in little self-serve cases. I dropped by around 6 PM, so I was expecting the selection to be pretty sparse &/or stale, but I was quite impressed by (1) the quality & freshness of the remaining bread, (2) the number of options still available, & (3) the number of people who managed to cram into this tiny space. The evening seems to be prime Chinese bakery hour, & it looked like folks were stocking up on desserts for the night &/or breakfast for the next morning. & I can't blame them - the buns all looked absolutely gorgeous. I ended up grabbing a green tea & red bean bun. The bread was super soft & moist, & it was the most beautiful forest green colour. I can't say that I could really taste the green tea, so I imagine most of it was just in the appearance. There was a good amount of red bean filling, & I appreciated that it was subtly sweet...all-around, it was the perfect late afternoon / early afternoon snack after a long day of exploring Montreal.
