Overall, Première Moisson draws praise for world class breads, viennoiserie and pastries, with many customers highlighting fresh sliced bread ready to pick up and a wide, appealing pastry selection, alongside friendly and attentive service in many visits. Some reviews point to excellent sourdough and bakery items and describe staff as helpful and personable, while others mention occasional service delays, confusing order lines, and price sensitive complaints during peak times or promotions. Mixed experiences include some locations delivering consistently high quality, yet a few issues such as a disappointing hot beverage, limited availability before closing, and at least one report of mold on a pie, tempering the otherwise positive impression. Overall the items are enjoyed for their quality and value relative to higher end patisseries, with some emphasis on ongoing improvements in organization and beverage quality.
Terrible service but fabulous baked goods, the manager really needs to step up the service. The queue system is confusing so clearly some signage & guidance is needed, from other reviews I'm not the only one to have the same issue. A stanchion would help direct people to the right spot, only $90 on Amazon Première Moisson manager. I waited in the queue 20 minutes (on a Thursday afternoon at 2pm not exactly prime time) for a cappuccino that was lukewarm warm. On another occasion the server put a tablespoon of cinnamon (not exaggerating) on my mother's cappuccino. My husband who loves their bread & would shop there every weekend stopped going because the wait is painfully. Hope the manager or owner puts some changes in place & gets more staff, because unfortunately we stopped going.
Always go to this place when I visit Montreal. Their products are at a world class of excellence. Bread, vienoiserie products & of course their pastries. This is not a review of the tea room & coffee

Grabbed some croissant & pastries which were delicious! The almond chocolate was to die for. I also picked up their Parisian bread (olive bread) which was also a hit amongst my family.
I don't have any issues with the bakery items as they are quite delicious, but I was quite disappointed by the quality of service overall.
The line for the bakery / pastry shop / cafe was very confusing as I was told to go back to the ljne to order bread to order my pastries (which were located near the line for the cafe on the complete other end…)
Also, had I known the poor turnout of the writing on my cake - it was really not worth the additional fee, I ended removing it from the cake before presenting it ☹?
I want to share my experience about bread. I often buy it there but I will have to look somewhere else. Main reason is that the bread is burned dark brown or black & small in size. I usually buy organic & I visited Atwater Market & Jean Talon market brunches & there is no comparison to the bread they offer in Kirkland & Marche Ouest. It is much smaller . The other brunches have larger bread & nice golden color not dark brown or black . The same goes for organic baguette. I thought it is a temporary issue but it has been like this for months.

The staff here are super kind, the bread is always fresh & the coffee is surprisingly good. We love coming in to pickup bread & then staying for a croissant & a coffee.

Very nice lunch spot. Salads are fresh, well seasoned & very tasty. Sandwiches are varied for both bread & fillings however I found mine a little on the dry side but nothing a little mayo couldn't fix. Desserts are heavenly. Breads are amazing
