Je vais réguli?rement à la Première Moisson au marché Atwater. Tout est parfait... sauf la musique qui est hors de control des travailleurs du café! La musique est tellememt forte, elle nuise l'ambiance qui pourrait être plus délicate & laisser la clientèle de mieux s'entendre & bavarder moins fort au lieu de se mettre aux compétitions de volume. Frachement, nous somnes comme au concert musical devant la sc?ne. Ce serait vraiment apprecie, chère administration de la mère maison qui est tellement loin de cette place, de baisser la volume & aussi de payer attention à la sorte des chansons en respect de votre clientèle! Étonnant de savoir que je ne suis pas seule qui fait des plaintes à ce sujet mais le succursale est incapable de changer la situation à ma demande. J'esp?re que cette revue sera visible à l'administration.

I thought I was having a bad day today. I had been to two highly rated places for breakfast & lunch & was let down in both. Finally, we came to Atwater Market & saw the pastries in here. We ordered eclairs & coffee. Finally, the server was so polite & caring. The quality of food was good & service was excellent. My day is finally back on track.
Nice warm family spot in Marché atwater for having your coffee & nice pastries. For pastries you need to take your number from the machine first & wait in the line for your number. Croissants are delicious, also i like the fruit tarts with almond based. Filter coffee is always fresh. In December is even nicer with more variety of cakes
Retrouver tous les produits de Première Moisson & leur qualité en grande quantité, car il ne manque jamais de rien est la force des lieux (avec une ambiance & décoration typique de la chaîne). Son emplacement le rend accessible & très bien placé (parking, parcours à vélo juste à côté, station de métro proche) dans le marché Atwater.
Le plus gros problème est le service. Il y a beaucoup de monde, les employés ne peuvent que se focaliser que sur les tickets (ce qui n'est pas leur faute). Système de ticket obscur car quand on entre la première fois on ne voit pas qu'il y en a un & quand on le réalise on peine à trouver où il sont. Si bien que des personnes attendent sans ticket.
Les sandwiches & la salade sont vraiment excellent. Les biscuits maison sont bon & la portion est généreuse. Stationnement payant disponible & stationnement environnant disponible sans frais en respectant les horaires municipals. Les prix sont raisonnables. L'ambiance est bruyante. L'endroit est bien tenu & propre. Bel endroit pour une pose magasinage au Marché Atwater.
Large bakery inside Marche Atwater, offering bread, French pastries, cakes, coffees, cookies , sandwiches. Everything looked so fresh & yummy. The tartlettes were one of the best I've had in a long time. Friendly staff. Lots of seating area.
Cooked food, meats, salads in window, they warm up for you. For quick meal, good deal. In farmers market Atwater Marche (inside, at the west end, near WCs). Very nice ambience, local produce for sale, homemade things. (Not cheap, & some vegetables, not good...beware, be patient & look before buy). Service ok but a bit brusque. Serving size a bit small (for price). Seating outside is basic (not much seating inside). So, lower expectations, decent place for lunch.
