Overall, reviews of Première Moisson show a mixed picture: some praise past tastiness of pies and croissants and note friendly service at times, while others report a decline in quality and consistency with pastries that are burnt, overly sweet, or not as fresh; pricing and portion issues and online ordering are mentioned as frustrations, though the bakery’s range of croissants, breads, sandwiches and chocolates still appeals to some customers.
Je suis un client du PM depuis des années mais c'est temps-ci, je remarque une baisse de qualité. Voici une'chocolatine' je pense qu'il y avait l'équivalent de 3 pippites de chocolat…. Déçu. surtout a ce prix
At the'Marché de l'Ouest, in the West Island of Montreal, there are two bakeries. One is''Boulangerie du Marché de l'Ouest'' & the second is refered on line as'Boulangerie du Marché de l'ouest- Première Moisson'- I know - a bit confusing, Indeed.
The first one,' Boulangerie du Marché de l'Ouest' , the shop closest to the main entrance is excellent. Unfortunately, they have no web site. Fortunately, the pie was very good. Good point for this bakery.
This review is about the second one:'Boulangerie du Marché de l'Ouest- Première Moisson' - They are accessible online or by phone. The problem is that you order a pie for 8 (eight) persons- At pick-up, you get a pie for 4 (four) persons at the price of a pie for 6 (six) persons. Do the math & see who wins: neither the customer nor the 8 guests waiting for this pie. However, the pie was really tasty.
I loved the palmiers for a long time until now. Only used to buy them from Premiere Moisson. But I must say the quality & taste dropped dramatically nowadays. Most of the time they are burnt, inconsistent butter & sweetness. To my surprise, their croissants & chocolatine quality also went down significantly. Not sure what's happening but things don't taste good as before. It's very unfortunate. At first I thought it could be a one off incidnet, but recently it's happening everytime.
I bought an almond croissant. Literally, the worst almond croissant I have ever had. In fact, it was not a croissant, it was a moist cake. Too soft & the underneath was completely wet.
J'aime bien les boulangeries première moisson, elle ont plusieurs bon produit comme leurs croissants, leurs chocolatines, dans certains il y a des bonnes pizzas aux tomates, des bonne variété de pains comme celui a saveurs d'automne que j'ai pris cette fois-ci, etc. Leurs pâtisserie sont correct, j'ai goûté l'opéra, le royal & fraise & pistaches. Par contre c'est la première fois que je vais dans un première moisson & que mon pain n'est pas frais & très sec. De ce fait, je mets 3 étoiles.
I had given up on most of these shops because over the years, the quality of their products had in my opinion gone downhill. Fast track to the present & because a friend told me that this location actually had better bread for some reason, I tried again. Well, after trying three breads, I'm in agreement that this location for some reason does have better bread. How bizarre. Anyhow, for now, I'm very pleased. The service was also excellent.
I arrived early on a Saturday at Premiere Moisson in Marché de l'Ouest & picked up a selection of breakfast pastries. Every single one was absolutely fantastic! The apricot twist was sublime - perfectly sweet & buttery. The chocolate & almond croissants were crispy on the outside & deliciously soft on the inside, while the Quebec pomme pastry was a delightful mix of tart & sweet. The quality here is consistently top-notch. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a perfect breakfast treat!
