Many reviews describe Première Moisson as a reliable bakery and cafe with fresh bread and desserts, praising croissants, tarts, and the variety of breads, while some feel the prices are a bit high yet worth it for the quality. The staff receive praise for friendliness, especially an elderly employee whose warmth is repeatedly highlighted. Other observations mention fast and courteous service on some visits, but several accounts complain about rushed or impersonal service, a noisy ambience, and long waits. Negative points include reports of burnt bottoms on some loaves, excess flour on baked goods, and concerns about quality control, as well as occasional issues with beverages and the absence of toilets in the dining area. Ambience and comfort are hit or miss, with some finding the chairs uncomfortable and others enjoying a convivial atmosphere during breakfast. Overall the place is seen as a go-to for pastries and bread, with strong quality and variety that draws repeat visits, though service consistency and certain facilities or beverage options could be improved.
La nourriture est normale parfois un peu chère carrément, la seule raison pour la quelle j'y reviens & je donne amplement 5 étoiles c'est la dame âgée qui travaille là bas, super douce & gentille toujours souriante, une très bonne énergie pour commencer la journée elle est un rayon de soleil cette dame, parfois je fais exprès comme si j'ai pas encore décidé & je préfère attendre qu'elle soit libre pour qu'elle me sert mon croissant & café avec sa gentillesse habituelle !
I went to try the new O la la croissants, I tried both chocolate & raspberry, both were meh, not crispy at all, the raspberry filling was good but too much, the chocolate filling was not delicious
If you're looking for a perfect pairing to start your day, this combination of espresso & almond croissant is a dream come true. The espresso is rich, bold, & beautifully balanced, offering that satisfying kick of energy with its velvety crema & robust aroma. The almond croissant, on the other hand, is pure indulgence. Flaky, buttery layers on the outside, with a heavenly almond filling that is just the right amount of sweet. The toasted almond slices on top add a delightful crunch that complements the soft, rich interior. Together, they create a moment of bliss - the strong, aromatic espresso balancing perfectly with the sweetness & texture of the croissant. Highly recommended for coffee & pastry lovers!
C'ÉTAIT MIEUX AVANT, cette phrase peut paraître assez cliché, mais pour le coup c'est réellement le cas , franchement j'ai été assez déçu de ma dernière visite , je n'ai plus retrouvé les goûts & les saveurs des anciens croissants & tartes . Beaucoup trop sucré, des croissants plutôt médiocres, j'ai connu mieux venant de leur part , on espérant qu'il saura se renouveler ou revenir à leurs bonnes recettes.

Love their pastries, especially the croissant. It's just so flaky & so buttery, & the quality is quite high for a chain-restaurant. I wouldn't suggest their macarons (especially the pistachio one), as they are way too sweet (the sweetness takes over the flavour), maybe try buying from other stores if you're buying macarons
Very nice bakery/cafe!!!!! The location is pretty busy but if you get parking it's a nice place. The woman who helped us spoke english & helped us choose as well as explain any pastries we had questions about. She was very attentive & friendly!!!!! The croissants were good if that's your type of thing. Can get pricy.
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.

Every time I go there, I struggle to choose a pastry because everything that they offer is delicious. I highly recommend to try their almond croissant & their tartelette also. During holidays, they also sell themed pastries & chocolates. It is the perfect gift for your loved ones.
