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.
Première moisson est devenu très industrielle!! Je vous déconseille les pâtisseries qui sont passées par l'étape surgelés avant ! Les prix sont déraisonnables pour la qualité offerte.. essayez une boulangerie de quartier à la place. J'ai également des doutes sur la propreté des lieux !
Good for a 1-time visit when going to the market, not good if you try to be a regular customer. Today, as usual, staff were disorganized & not paying attention to the line. Two women butted in front of me. I thought they were just looking closely at the breads & would move aside when the employee came. No, they started placing their order. I said I was next. They looked shocked that I would dare. The employee stared at me & didn't move, he didn't know who to serve, like it was some kind of moral dilemma. Meanwhile, a second employee at the bread counter was in a drawn-out chat with someone who already paid. She could have come & both orders would have been taken, but ignored it. This kind of situation has happened many, many times at the bread counter, & at the counter for lunch on the other side. It's the first time I speak up. It looks like employees don't know what they're supposed to be doing & some customers take advantage. It's routine that people will butt in line whether the place is full or empty, & staff don't notice or do anything. It's not worth the hassle.
Nice boulangerie with wide range of breads, croissants, cakes, cookies, breakfast & lunch options. They have a larger seating area & all the servers at the counter are welcoming!
It's just perfect little place for all kind of goodies. Bread, patisserie, tarts, cakes, or just soup & sandwich with coffee & little croissant! Always fresh & yummy! A mist visit if you are in the area 🥰
Premiere Moisson is a delightful bakery that truly captures the essence of artisanal baking. Each visit is a sensory delight, with the aroma of freshly baked bread & pastries filling the air. Their croissants are buttery & flaky, a perfect testament to their commitment to quality & tradition. What sets them apart is their use of fresh, local ingredients, which you can taste in every bite. From the delicate pastries to the robust, crusty loaves, everything is baked to perfection. It's more than just a bakery; it's a culinary experience that brings a piece of French baking artistry right to your table. For anyone with a love for baked goods, Premiere Moisson is an absolute must-visit!
I live close to Atwater market & I visit this branch of Premier Moisson at least 3 times a week. While I love their pastries, bread, Quiche, you name it, I was very disappointed in the fact that one of their staff members didn't understand the concept of hygiene or why she wore gloves for that matter. I happened to witness her go through an entire jar of coins (tips) to give the customer ahead of me, his exact change. She literally touched at least 15-20 coins, having flipped over the entire jar & then put all the coins back in. Naively, I assumed she would change her gloves after having touched that many coins, or have their courtesy to use tongs while touching the croissant I ordered. When she brought me the croissant, I had to say something, to which she responded if I had to do that every time, I would go through 100 pairs of gloves a day. I'm quite shocked honestly, that someone in the food industry doesn't understand basic hygiene. Don't see myself going back there, unless I'm buying something packaged & sealed.
D'habitude j'aime beaucoup cette succursale, mais ce soir en allant regarder les tartes & les gâteaux restants pour mon souper d'amis, & j'ai pu admirer une employée en train de nettoyer les étages au dessus des tartes, balançant miettes & peut-être produit sur les belles tartes à vendre. Ce soir, pas de tarte !
