Review Summary

Première Moisson is widely recognized for its high-quality, delicious baked goods, particularly its fresh, buttery croissants, baguettes, and flavorful pastries. While many customers appreciate the consistent taste and variety of food offered, experiences with service are highly inconsistent. Some patrons praise the efficient and friendly staff, while many others report significant frustrations regarding long wait times, perceived indifference from employees, and occasional confusion during transactions. The seating area is generally viewed as a convenient spot for a quick bite, though some visitors note that the service quality and overall atmosphere can vary greatly depending on the time of day and the specific staff members on duty.

J'y vais 2-3x semaine, entre 7&8h, pour aller me chercher un croissant jambon fromage & j'en suis toujours satisfaite. Simplement, des fois il est fait avec du jambon blanc première moisson, d'autre fois avec des tranches de jambon cuit, bien rectangulaire, qui semble provenir de l'épicerie. Des fois le fromage suisse est très frais, d'autre fois un peu sec de la veille. Malgré le fait que le sandwich à lui seul coûte 11,09$ avant le tip, j'y retourne quand même pour la simple & bonne raison que je ne le ferais pas moi même, alors je le prends comme on me le donne sans rechigner. Le croissant est toujours frais, lui, avec son bon goût de beurre & je crois que c'est surtout ça qui m'accroche.
Pour le service, je dois avouer qu'ils ont pas mal tous l'air bête, mais j'ai pas l'air Ben ben plus sympathique avant 11h am moi non plus, & comme la transaction dure moins qu'une minute, je m'en lave les mains & ne leurs en tiens pas rigueur. La caisse côté sandwich est toujours fermée à cette heure, & à défaut de nous le dire, ils nous ignorent… faut juste lire la pancarte qui l'indique & passer de l'autre côté, ou ils vous feront un plaisir de vous servir.

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.

They have one of the best Almond croissants in town & other really good stuff. HOWEVER, they tend to sell their older'not-fresh' products first, which happened with me on multiple occasions. That, honestly, ruins the whole experience.

Picked up breakfast on the way to the train. Fantastic chocolate croissant, cheese baguette & sandwich. Exactly what we were looking for.

Got ripped off. Bought 6 croissants from those pre packaged ones & asked the lady to pack them up in a paper bag for me. She packed only 5. Shame, I always grab breakfast from here on my way to work. 2 stars just because the rest of the staff are usually friendly & never had issues before.

Had some time before dropping off my aunt at the train station. Plenty of sweets to choose from, sandwiches, bread & more! Croissant Aux Amandes was so good. Ended up getting more to bring home. It wasn't too busy when we went & service was fast.
