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.
Bon mais pas sensationnel.
Le personnel est désagréable & mécontent lorsqu'on ne met pas de pourboire... Il n'y a pas de service à mettre une baguette dans une poche!
Aussi : pourquoi lorsque l'on coche non, je ne veux pas mettre de pourboire, cela annule-t-il la transaction?

Been going there since I was a kid. Great for coffee & a bite, the seating area on the ground floor needs to be updated but it's clean & there is ample seating. They need to Go back to the old cheesecake recipe- it was better.
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
Buffet bien emballés & prêt a temps ainsi que services offert pour transporter a la voiture vus les 18 boîtes .Nourriture appréciés par les invités.livraison disponible aussi.
La baguette au levain avait une extrémité d'au moins 4 cm de la taille du pouce de la main, donc non comestible. Ce voyant j'ai demandé d'en avoir une autre, on me répondit qu'elles étaient toutes pareille. J'ai donc demandé de l'échanger pour une baguette régulière ce qui a manifestement déplu aux jeunes personnes au service. Heureusement, la responsable a rapidement acquiescé à ma demande, mais les deux personnes au service m'ont « puni » en me faisant poireauter longuement avant de daigner glisser la baguette dans un sac. Heureusement que j'ai de bonnes expériences passées dans ce commerce, pcq aujourd'hui c'était particulièrement désagréable.

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.
The food / goods are great. We had a light lunch, took away dessert & got some Easter chocolate. The service was a tad sloppy, however. I asked for the lunch to eat in, they bagged it. I had to go back because they didn't include a fork for the salad. I bought a fairly large chocolate chicken & some smaller chickens, asked for a box (which they pack pastry in) & was told no... I don't go for the service but when they are this bad then proceed to put up the tip option...eye rollingly bad choice.
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.
