Review Summary

Première Moisson is widely recognized for its high-quality, flavorful pastries, fresh baguettes, and delicious sandwiches, making it a popular spot for a quick bite or a sweet treat. While many visitors praise the freshness of the products and the expertise behind items like the wheel croissants and birthday cakes, customer experiences regarding service are notably mixed.

The atmosphere is generally described as convenient and clean, though some feedback highlights inconsistencies in sandwich preparation and potential improvements regarding transaction efficiency and staff training.

stopped by here to get a cake for my birthday & it was the best cake i've ever had. I believe it's chocolate hazelnut, it was so good! Only problem was that it was over $40 for a very small cake, but in the end it was very delicious

Overall pretty good but their stand alone locations are definitely better. Had the almond croissant which felt a bit stale but still very good. Also tried the praline covered croissant. It didn't really taste like praline but rather crunchy chocolate. It was pretty sweet but overall fantastic. It was pretty quiet when we visited so there was lots of seating available but it can get very crowded here.

Bought a cake, missing parts & cracked with chocolate falling apart & they charged me full price on the thing . Missing a piece of meringue, buttercream cracked which is sign of the cake being old & losing moisture, chocolate cracked & falling apart as mentioned earlier. Of course in the display they turned it to the best side so it's not apparent but can you imagine the surprise when i brought it to my parents place & opened it up. The box was also recycled showing a tag for a different cake ( tag reads Black Forest when the cake i bought was praline). There was a baked on smudge on the box when i received it & addressed it to the employee & she just took a few napkins tried to wipe it & said sorry it's baked on. Box was also torn & showed signs of being repaired or attempted to be with scotch tape. Old tape showing underneath as well. All to say I'm usually satisfied with their products but this time was a letdown, hopefully they well read this & improve in the future.

You know how every pastry shop in the world makes a chocolatine with 2 bars of chocolate in the middle? Well, these guys figure that one small bar is sufficient. That's all you need to know about these cheapos
