Première Moisson propose un mélange de pains, viennoiseries et propositions de café avec des pains frais, croissants, pâtisseries et gâteaux, et les avis vont du très positif au mitigé; certaines visites présentent des produits savoureux et une ambiance lumineuse et agréable, tandis que d'autres évoquent un service parfois lent ou brusque, une atmosphère pressée ou des problèmes de qualité comme du pain brûlé ou des boissons peu inspirées; l'endroit reste un choix populaire pour un petit déjeuner ou une pâtisserie rapide, mais des options voisines peuvent sembler plus attrayantes et l'expérience dépend souvent du service.
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.
On our last morning of a short trip to Montreal, I wanted to buy authentic French pastries to share with my family in Vermont. I was helped by Do, who so great! She described each pastry for me, told me how best to keep them as fresh as possible for the next day, & she boxed them in three small boxes to make it easier to fit in the refrigerator. It was a great experience & my family loved the pastries. Highly recommend.

Very lovely crew, & the inside is welcoming to enjoy your coffee or food options & relax, change of pass. Do watch out for overlay dry pastries & cakes but I've had no problems asking for an exchange.
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.
