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.
They make freshly baked bread but what I loved the most about the Premier Moisson Marché Jean-Talon location is the space & pastries. I came here alone once & with friends, & I would say it's a nice study area because of how much lighting there are. There are not many plugs so keep in mind on where you are sitting.
It's great to hangout & catch-up with friends. I love their desserts because it's simple yet flavourful. I'd recommend the Cream Eclair with tea/coffee!
What I ate: Latte glacé & Raspberry Pischachio cake (close to $14 CAD), Hibiscus Mango sparkling Tea & Cream Eclair (close to $12 CAD).
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)

Première Moisson is dangerous… & I mean that in the best way possible. Every time I walk in, I tell myself I'll just get one thing - & somehow leave with a full bag (& zero self-control).
Their pastries are so good they're personally responsible for my weight gain… & honestly, I'm not even mad about it. Everything is fresh, buttery, & impossible to resist.
If loving this place is wrong, I don't want to be right.
We found this boulangerie when visiting the Jean Talon market. What a pleasant surprise!! We bought a mix of pastries, jams, & cookies. After trying the petit fours, I was ready to go back & buy more. The strawberry rhubarb jam was phenomenal paired with a cheese plate. We plan on returning with each visit to Canada.
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
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.
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.
