The BEST Bakery in Montreal! The dairy-free treats are AMAZING!
Love the fancy desserts, the warm chocolate chip cooks & the savoury breads. Everything is delicious, great vibes in the cafe & wonderful staff & owner.
I order cakes from here for all my parties & I'm always impressed with how delicious & decadent they are. 100% recommend this place to everyone.
I'm so glad I started my day by having the croissant, cookie & hot chocolate here. So good!!!
As you can see, the chef spends more time chasing customers out of his shop than doing business.
His focus is primarily on humiliating customers rather than providing a vegan cafe for Montrealers.
If he could focus on his baking skills or find a job that doesn't require him to interact with humans, the neighborhood would welcome a better bakery in its place.
Looking at his acerbic responses to many disappointed clients, it's no wonder there are never any customers inside, in a neighborhood where there are always lines in the bakeries-he has none. It looks like a vacant space.
On the day I passed by, there were samples on the counter. After trying a golden-colored financier, the lady behind the counter told me,'We do not have that cake today,' so they were giving samples of something that was not even available for purchase.
She said they only had the chocolate financier available. Just as I attempted to try that little, teeny, tiny sample, the chef set his beady eyes upon me & began loudly hissing with rage,'We only allow one sample!'
There are multiple reasons this is not a popular local cafe. To be so stingy as not to be able to part with a meager crumb of cake, & to go so far as to aggressively reprimand paying, adult customers over an insignificant sample that is sitting out collecting everybody's germs, says everything about this miserable establishment, where the samples are just for show.
I should have looked at the reviews-they are appalling. There is a disconnect when management laughs & condescends to the customers he is peddling to, for example, stating'You can't please everyone'. Indeed, you are trying to sell something, & pleasing them is part of owning a service industry business. As a business owner & a frequent bakery customer, having a brand is not about taking people's money; it is a two-way street.
If he were mature or wise, he would not spend so much time trying to'educate' the public, but rather educate himself, with some business courses, or just behavioral therapy. It would be fascinating for him to explain how a counter has a'customer side' & a'staff side.' As a designer, I myself have not heard this term before. Rather than deflecting from your own abuse by attacking paying clients & inventing stories of moms who stretch their arms over cash registers, try to accomplish more than paying rent, because this is not a legitimate business.
It is a good experience not a crowded place to be
Everything is vegan so good for anyone to explore... but do ask them about gluten free options... I didn't.. but I think they should be carrying some.
Regarding the taste:
As you will be able to see in the picture that I ordered 2 items:
Chocolate:
It was good (7/10), it has a nice balance of sweetness & chocolate.. but I was not able to get any lunch from the walnut filling..
It melts in mount & give a god after taste of dark chocolate.
Lime: it was not the best they got..
I will not recommend it a the lime flavour at the top center overpowered the remaining experience.. you will taste a strong lime hit...
So overall..
Nice Ambiance ( 7/10)
Customer service (9/10)
Price: adequate.. as per the location & operation
Food experience: (6/10)
Will I go again?
Yes, as I want to try their croissant & other items...
Should be in your spot if you are exploring food in Montréal.
Vegan bakery that moved to another larger luminous location on Saint-Denis street. I have to say I am surprised with some of the reviews regarding customer service. I never did an online order, but whenever I went staff & owner was nice. The new location is much bigger, & nice. I think there could be more tables, although it is never full when I go. Food-wise, the patries are beautiful looking, but in my opinion they look better than they taste. I am gluten-free, so I cannot judge all pastries, but I am not a fan of the cheezecake, I find it tasteless & i don't like the texture. The only good part is the crunchy layer at the bottom, I could eat just that! The chocolate tonka entremet is good, probably one of the best ones. The tiramisu is not for me. Lacks flavor. My boyfriend tried the tarts & said the yuzu tart was meh as the icing on top was tasteless, but the tart shell & yuzu part was good. He loved the strawberry tart & raved about the tart shell. The wownie (brownie) was just ok according to my boyfriend. The financier are good. The cookies look delish, but I couldn't say if they taste good as none of them are gluten-free. My last note is that it is very expensive. The refrigerated pastries are 10$ each, that's a lot. I get it, ingredients are expensive, rent, & so on, but it's hard to justify for the common person. I am all about supporting vegan businesses, & I wish them the best. For me though, I don't think I would go unless the menu changes & flavors are improved. I would say it is worth trying it for yourself.
Superb dairy free pastry place! Was thrilled that their chef used his talent to also offer wonderfully-executed gluten free choices, for those of us that have to avoid both diary & gluten. When we went, the gluten free items included two different types of tiramisu (pistachio & sesame), chocolate mousse pecan cake, olive oil cake, & a passion fruit coconut cheesecake. The customer service was great. We ended up getting the pistachio tiramisu & chocolate mousse pecan cake, plus try the olive oil cake. All three were ace. I especially loved the mousse components that were less sweet (& you could taste the nutty & chocolate flavours) & the olive cake that was not overly sweet. We will be back often!
The staff was super polite & respectful, they explained to me one & each flavor every time I went. The cookies were okey, I was expecting more flavor in the chocolate, but I got more sugary taste. The mini cakes were excelente. Hope to get back some day🤗❤? Thank u for going vegan!!!!
I discovered Zébulon in 2022 on a quick trip to Montreal. Ever since it's been a necessary stop every time we're in Montreal. The quality of their sweets has not changed at all since ! My favorite are the salted chocolate cookies & hot chocolate 😋. I was happy to see their newer bigger store & they also started making bread & kindly offered us a loaf to taste! So yum!
Entremet chocolate cake (for 6 people) was a big disappointment.
Good: Interestingly not sweetened much (maybe even too little), & some interesting notes in flavor
Bad: Texture is not great, kind of crumbly, & way too much powder. Very expensive. Overall completely forgettable.
How wonderful to have an all vegan patisserie, a rarity where I come from. Beautiful vegan pastries & kind worker who took the time to name each one for me. I really enjoyed the vegan tiramisu. The quality of the chocolate in the desserts is excellent. The only things that could be improved upon is the server touched all my pastries with bare hands; wearing no gloves, using no napkin or serving utensil. & the place is freezing! I like my bakeries warm & smelling of fresh baked breads & pastries.
Loved the bakery the space on St-Denis is beautiful, the staff is extremely welcoming, we tried cookies, a chocolate mousse cake we loved! Apple pie & mango/passion fruit pastry all very good. We walked in late in the evening as they were closing they offered us free breads which were delicious too❤? we'll definitely be back!
Update 2025: still absolutely fantastic treats. The yuzu hazelnut cookie & passion fruit cake were 10/10.
Like any good pastry shop, go early if you want the best selection. I was pleased & impressed with everything we bought - flaky croissant, rich chocolate & cherry bar, sweet nut tartelette.
