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.
Impressed by the service. Excellency should actually be the term that apply here. The pastry shop as well. However, without be a downer but rather the conveyer of my subjective truth, the New York cheesecake was, how can I say... Too cheese-ee. Sounds strange right since this is a cheesecake. Well believe it or not when there is an aftertaste following a bite, it actually points out to an ingredient that has been used in excess. Those of you who make this dessert home know what I mean. I just hope that this was a n accident & not the norm. I will be back to taste whether this was the case or the pastry chef misses the recipe on regular basis. All in all Premier Moisson is almost always a great experience.
Love their pastries & desserts! The only minus that came to my mind is that sometimes, when I came, they already sold out my favorite desserts. So, come early to see the whole assortment😉

J'étais en vacance chez ma famille car maintenant j'habite Lévis alors je me chargeait du dessert donc j'achète une tarte aux pommes & caramel & quelle déception...très fade & les commentaires de mes hôtes n'ont pas été favorables....alors prochaine visite à mtl on achète pas le dessert à la première moisson du marché Atwater!!
Here you can buy fresh bread, ready-to-eat housemade food, cakes, chocolate, etc. I love the variety of fresh, nice bread you can find in this bakery. The baguettes are crunchy & tasty, plus you can get organic or gluten-free ones.
Service chaleureux & courtois, tout les produits sont excellent que ce soit pour un bon pain ,une viennoiserie , un croissant, un gâteau ou tout autres de leur produits tout est appréciable. Il faut juste se laisser tenter & déguster pour vous aguicher les papille👌👌👌👍🙏

This cafe has become our absolute favorite spot for coffee, croissants, pastries, & bread. Every time we visit, we are blown away by the quality of their freshly baked goods. Their almond croissant, in particular, is hands down one of the best I've ever had in town. The flakiness, the rich almond filling, & the perfect balance of sweetness make it a true standout. Beyond the almond croissant, they offer an impressive variety of baked goods, all made with the same care & attention to detail. From the rich, buttery pastries to the perfectly brewed coffee, everything here is top-notch. If you find yourself in town, do yourself a favor & stop by this cafe. It's a delightful experience that you won't want to miss!
Pros: The desserts are delicious & fresh. Croissants were alright, but could be better. I couldn't feel any cheese in the cheese croissant. The environment is cozy & large. Cons: dessert prices are expensive & above market. Important note: You need to press a button & get a piece of paper from the machine before ordering anything.
