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.
I have just had the Charlotte cake with strawberries & it was Amazing! The flavor was delicious & the creamy center melted in your mouth. You can be sure that I will order it again. I might be nice & share it with friends so they can have the pleasure also.
The pastries are great. The drinks are terrible. My first visit, I ordered a cappuccino. It tasted like water. I'm assuming because they make their coffee using something resembling a tea bag. I tried hot chocolate the next time. It was tepid & tasted like soup. Not all Première Moisson's are created equally!

Sommes obligés d'attendre dans la file du pain, alors qu'on voulait une soupe & des salades. Où est le problème, manque d'organisation? Très désagréable pour les clients. Que va faire la direction pour pallier ce problème?
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 ☹?
They had a few seats outside, which is nice on a hot sunny day, but I do find at time Premiere Moisson can be a little pricey depending on what you get but well worth the expense.

Extending the opening hours at Première Moisson is pointless when there's barely anything left by the end of the day - especially during promotions. What's really unacceptable is how often they advertise special offers, only for the promoted items to be completely sold out hours before closing.
This isn't a one-time issue - it happens every single time there's a promotion. It honestly feels like a tactic to get people through the door under false pretenses, knowing that once you've made the effort to come, you'll probably end up buying something anyway. It's frustrating & leaves a bad impression.
The attached photo was taken three hours before closing - nothing left. It's incredibly misleading, & it's hard not to feel taken advantage of as a customer.

The sweets r amazing, coffee, the baked goods as well, the only thing which is not perfect is the seating area, very crowded noisy where u couldn't enjoy ur nice coffee & cake
I called this morning & asked for a *Galette des Rois* to be set aside for us for 4:30 PM. They assured me there would be plenty available & that a reservation wasn't necessary. When we arrived at 4:20 PM, the worker told us she had set one aside anyway because they were selling quickly. Excellent customer service!
