Overall, reviews describe Première Moisson as a solid bakery with a wide range of fresh pastries, croissants, sandwiches and cheeses, and generally quick, courteous service when there is a crowd. The cakes and especially the almond croissants are frequently praised, with a note that a birthday cake was exceptionally delicious, while some croissants can feel a bit stale and a few cakes arrive damaged or with missing pieces. Freshness and presentation are highlighted as strong points, and the shop is seen as convenient for a quick coffee or a small indulgence before a train ride. At the same time, several comments point to inconsistency in service and speed, with staff sometimes inattentive or slow, and concerns about older or prepackaged items being sold first that can dampen the experience. Taken together, Première Moisson remains a favored bakery for many customers seeking quality pastries and a reliable option for a fast treat, even as experiences vary by visit.
Pâtisserie située sous terre, plutôt discrète & sans prétention particulière. Nous y avons acheté un dessert appelé «O lala au chocolat». C'était bon, sans être exceptionnel, mais tout à fait correct pour une pause sucrée.
Le service était agréable.
Ce n'est pas une pâtisserie particulièrement remarquable ou incontournable, mais elle fait bien son travail. À noter toutefois que le terminal de paiement est assez étrange & peu pratique, ce qui peut dérouter.
Dans l'ensemble, une adresse correcte, sans plus.
Je ne peux pas mettre plus &, honnêtement, j'aurai voulu mettre moins.
J'attrape sur ma correspondance un sandwich jambon fromage, ce qu'il y a de plus basique. Pas chauffé. Un peu plus de 12$ taxes & tip compris. Arrivé chez moi : j'ai une demi-baguette & une tranche de salade. Pas de jambon. Pas de fromage. Pas même une noisette de beurre.
Je veux bien qu'une erreur ça arrive. Je veux bien qu'entre midi & deux il y a du monde. Mais oublier les deux ingrédients qui font le nom du sandwich, c'est quand même abuser sur l'erreur ! (& je ne parle même pas du fait que le menu chez Mcdo est moins cher, c'est pas le débat).

It is very deceiving that the quality of the dessert has so deteriorated in this premiere moisson. The gingerbreads this year are so tasteless, no smell of ginger & very commercial. The fuit tarte which I loved had no crust, is that believable??? Why has it become so cheap? A successful bakery the primary ingredient is butter!!! I am sooo disappointed!!

Première Moisson reste ma boulangerie/pâtisserie de premier choix partout. Aujourd'hui à la Gare Centrale, j'ai été servie pas Cher, un jeune homme en formation, accueillant & très professionnel. Il représente bien le nom de Première Moisson.
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
Toujours un vrai plaisir de passer à Première Moisson ! Tout est frais, bien présenté & savoureux, des viennoiseries aux pâtisseries en passant par les sandwichs & fromages. Le service est rapide & courtois, même quand il y a du monde, & l'endroit reste accueillant & propre.
Parfait pour un café sur le pouce ou une petite pause gourmande avant de prendre le train.

I really can't tell you why but every time i go there, the employees either ignore you or they take a really long time to prepare your order. I decided against writing anything after waiting 10minutes for a pre-packaged soup to heat up today, but then changed my mind when i sat at my desk only to find out it was still completely cold... gros chillin spot pour les employers..

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.
Al llegar por primera vez a Montreal en tren. Encontré esta tienda y como pastelera que soy, debía probarla.
Compré un pastel clásico para mi. Una torta Ópera. Su sabor muy característico a la tradicional .
Es un local con bastante variedad.
Muy agradable si vienes llegando de un viaje en tren.
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.
