Première Moisson in Côte-des-Neiges feels like one of those places where the smell of freshly baked bread does half the talking before you even reach the counter 🥐
What I really enjoy is the French-inspired approach to the food - buttery croissants, beautiful pastries, crusty breads, sandwiches, & coffee that make an ordinary morning feel a little more special. It has that unmistakable French bakery influence, but with a distinctly Québec character.
I can understand why so many customers praise the fresh bread, croissants, pastries, & variety. The selection makes it hard to leave with just one thing! My favorite part is that you can stop in for something simple like a coffee & pastry or turn it into a proper little breakfast or lunch.
There's something comforting about Première Moisson: a little piece of French bakery culture tucked into Côte-des-Neiges, with the warmth & character of Montréal 🇫🇷
I'm concerned about the hygiene practices at this bakery. The quality of the bread is very good, but during a few visits I observed some hygiene issues, such as handling bread & pastries without gloves after touching the face(wetting finger with tongue to open a bag / Scratching nose or under ear..then touching pastries) & a bread bag falling on the ground & being placed back on top of the bread until order is completed.
When I politely raised my concerns, the response in the two situations I had, in different times from two different staff was dismissive & unprofessional, once was called' maniaque', & another time from different staff there was inappropriate comment made in another language, assuming we wouldn't understand, & we were told that time no manager was available.
Hope the business can improve its hygiene standards & customer service.
I recently bought several breads from this bakery, expecting good quality given their reputation & relatively higher prices.
Unfortunately, all three loaves had the same issue: The entire bottom side was burnt, leaving a 2-3 millimetres thick layer of char that made a portion of the bread inedible.
Another concern was the excessive amount of flour covering the bottom of the breads. While I understand that flour is normally used to prevent sticking during baking, the quantity here was unusual & left an unpleasant texture. Combined with the burnt undersides, it felt like quality control was missing.
Beyond taste & texture, there is also a health concern: burnt bread produces harmful compounds such as acrylamide, which are best avoided. Selling bread with this level of charring is not acceptable, especially for a bakery with this reputation.
I hope the management takes this feedback seriously & improves the baking process.

The staff was rushing & a bit rude, cleaning loudly & rushing to get tables bussed more than 1 hour before closing. Very loudly & even dropping things, it felt uncomfortable. The cashier was also rushing just throwing the menu at me for drinks. There wasn't even a line behind me, so I don't understand. The infusions were underwhelming, just 3 options & in a really small cup. Why?? Just offer more hot water in a bigger cup. The lack of non caffeinated beverages was really disappointing. The chairs were also really uncomfortable.
The bread is nice but service & ambiance could be improved.
Compared to what I had in other store.. the treats are super fresh & delicious. The breads are also very good… always is good always fresh! Always cozy place
I love thé sandwiches, just ordered raisins & hazelnut bread it's so good. Quite affordable too! I'd love it if you had more products on ubereats because I see here you have more products than those displayed on Uber eats. Highly recommend ❤️
So firstly, let's talk about the pastries. Dry croissants that tasted like cardboard, & the bread? Plain & tasteless. Seriously, I expected more from a place that acts all fancy. & the prices? Way too high for what you get. I don't mind splurging a bit for good stuff, but this place doesn't cut it. It's like they charge extra just for the name. Oh, & the vibe in there? Not cozy at all. It felt more like a rush-through-&-grab-your-stuff kind of joint, not somewhere you'd want to chill. Long story short, this Premiere Moisson Bakery didn't impress me one bit. Save your money & find a bakery that's actually worth it.
