Across the reviews for Première Moisson the bakery is described as lively with a wide range of pastries, breads, and savory options and many praise the almond croissant, the bread, the good coffee with a strong espresso blend, and desserts that are easy to dream about, including a standout strawberry tart and refreshing mango dragon fruit lemonade. Service is frequently noted as friendly and attentive, though a few experiences describe long waits, busy hours and at least one unfriendly interaction that put some customers off. A number of comments mention a price premium and mixed value, while some note that an ownership change affected quality and selection. The terrace and on site seating are sometimes criticized for cleanliness and comfort, especially on busy days, though the overall experience on other visits remains positive with warm staff and solid pastries and sandwiches. In sum, Première Moisson is viewed as a top bakery for its variety and quality, with highlights that draw crowds, but price concerns, occasional service issues, and inconsistent conditions temper enthusiasm for a portion of patrons.
If you're ever at the Jean Talon Market in Montreal, you have to check out Première Moisson! This charming bakery & pastry shop has an amazing variety of goodies, from artisanal breads & sandwiches to delicious deli meats & a tempting selection of sweet & savory pastries. I couldn't resist grabbing a yummy blueberry danish & the best cappuccino ever-so good! I ended up buying one of everything because it all looked too delicious to pass up. Every bite was delightful, & the staff couldn't have been friendlier! They even offered to let me try their best-selling bread & pastries. If you're craving authentic French bread & pastries, this is definitely the place to be!
I just needed a place to sit down for a bit while at the Jean Talon market & found this cute little cafe/bakery. They offer a variety of sandwiches, pastries, cakes, breads, chocolates, etc. I got myself an almond croissant which I'm planning to have for my breakfast at the airport tomorrow. They offer free wifi too but I wish their staff would clean the tables as some of them are dirty.
Nice bakery, they have variety of different foods, sandwiches, sweets, breads & pastries. Prices are a bit on a higher end but it's expected. Will try cold cuts next time. There is a small parking on the site 5$ for 2 hours. We paid 2.50 $ for an hour. Easy in & out

The service at this very busy location is terrible. There is not enough staff for a breakfast lunch hour. The people work very slowly & are in no rush to serve the patrons. The bread is good as are the croissants, but they aren't the best in the city. The store itself needs major renovations. The floor is all lifted from either water damage or electrical wiring. One can easily trip & fall from this!!
Found in the Jean Telon Market, I stumbled into this place looking to buy a coffee & lucky enough I was able to get one of the best latte's I've ever had! Plus they sold such good pastries & breads that you shouldn't come hungry here because you'll buy everything! Staff was great & helpful & can't wait to come back
I love the almond croissant there! It's also very cute in the Jean-Talon Market. Irresistible Aromas: As you step inside, the delightful scent of freshly baked goods envelops you. It's like a warm hug for your senses. Bread & Beyond: Their bread selection is outstanding-crusty baguettes, artisan loaves, & more. But it doesn't stop there. Pastries, both sweet & savory, beckon with their flaky layers & rich fillings. Café Comfort: Adjacent to the market, Premiere Moisson offers a cozy café space. Grab a coffee, settle in, & watch the world go by. Almond Croissants: Don't miss their almond croissants-they're a breakfast delight. Buttery, nutty, & perfectly indulgent.
I would give 5 starts because I love this place & grateful it is so close to my home so I can go very regularly. But this morning I am beside myself . As I was waiting to get served this blonde older woman is the one who served me for a bread & a croissant , she was coughing on her naked hand / wrist continuously , also grumpy because she was coughing so much , as she handled my order & handled my money all the while still coughing! I threw out my croissant because I was so grossed out . I then called to speak to a manager & it was her on the line saying she was the manager so I told her that I saw her coughing everywhere & that I had to throw my croissant. She rudely told me: well I coughed on my arm not my hand as if I was blind & didn't see what I saw . I told her it was gross & she needed to check herself. A complaint goes nowhere if it's about the manager, who is getting the actual complaint. Every single thing we buy here is exposed & it makes me uncomfortable to know that she is in charge. I will make sure I get served by someone else when I go back .

Amazing french bakery. They have a wide variety of fresh bread, french desserts, cakes. I loved all their pastries / baked goods especially their custard tarts. The staff is very friendly & helpful in suggesting new things to try in their bakery. There is also a seating area in the store to eat your desserts & drink coffee! Highly recommend.
