Première Moisson earns praise for freshness and quality, with a wide range of breads, pastries, and cakes that many reviewers find delicious, and the coffee and sandwiches also receive positive notes; prices are not cheap, though occasional promos and the overall quality are seen as good value. The atmosphere at the market location is described as vibrant and appealing, and service is often fast and friendly even during busy times, with staff who know the products well and offer helpful guidance. Yet experiences vary: some customers report inconsistent service, with rude cashiers or hurried staff, ticketing or queue confusion, and occasional missteps like food arriving cold or packaging issues, which can dampen the experience. There are also comments about loud music affecting the ambiance and a few critiques about cleanliness or seating. Still, the bakery is regarded as a reliable destination for breakfast, lunch, takeout, and pastries, with many noting the quality, variety, and the sense of a Parisian bakery in the city, making it a go to spot for many shoppers and visitors despite occasional service hiccups.
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.

Beautiful place, very delicious food & halal friendly
The only issue is the cashier, she was very rude & when she was talking to my wife, & when I came she became silent
We bought a cake, asked for spoons, she gave us only one. I asked her for a second one as we are two people, then suddenly she was very upset.
It's a nice place where you can find breakfast, lunch, & dinner. There's also coffee & desserts. You can order takeout or eat in the spacious interior.
Awesome collection of pastries, rolls, & breads. Some snacks also. Good coffee. There's usually a lineup but staff work hard to look after you. Some seating but not much. Great place to go after shopping or after a visit to the canal. Some GF selection.
