Reviews point to Première Moisson as a bakery with fresh, buttery pastries, a wide range of breads and sandwiches, and reliable desserts, with many noting the quality of the croissants and tarts and the appeal of the coffee and jams. Service is described as friendly in places but experiences vary, including occasional rude interactions and higher prices. Some comments mention cleanliness issues on the terrace and seating, and a sense that quality shifted after a change in ownership. Overall, Première Moisson stands out for pastries and baked goods, while price and service consistency remain mixed considerations.
If you're not a regular you might not know where the'line' to get served is. Very awkward. Smells of divine bread . Great choice of breads, pastries, cakes, pies, croissants, etc. Coffee is ok but expected better in an Italian neighborhood. Friendly staff. Outside & inside seating. Parking (free if lucky, & $ in adjacent streets to the market)
The best freshly coffee in Montreal
I have struggled to find a place where coffee is freshly roasted .! Their espresso blend is amazing! Almond croissant 🥐 & seeds croissant 🥐 is so so so delicious 😋

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.
Haben endlich ein wirklich leckeres Croissant hier bekommen. Die Bedienung war so unfassbar nett ❤️ Unser kleiner Sohn hat auch ein kleines Törtchen auf die Hand bekommen. Ein ganz toller Service und ganz liebes Personal. Auch das Croissant war richtig lecker. Absolut zu empfehlen.

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!!
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 .
