Overall, reviews for Première Moisson show a generally warm and welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff and plenty of fresh bread and pastries, including standout items like the Oh La La pastry, yet there are repeated notes about high prices, occasional dryness or underfilled pastries, frequent stock shortages, and inconsistent service that can lead to long lines or delays; coffee quality and seating vary, but many customers appreciate the variety and the ability to grab treats or quick meals for home, making Première Moisson a mixed but largely positive experience with room for improvement in value and consistency.
This bakery is a wonderful place to visit whether you want a quick coffee, fresh bread, or a relaxing place to sit & enjoy pastries. One of the first things I noticed was how spacious & comfortable the seating area is. There is plenty of room for customers, so it never feels crowded or rushed, even during busy hours. The atmosphere is warm, clean, & inviting, making it a perfect spot to meet friends, work quietly, or simply enjoy a peaceful break.
The selection of baked goods is impressive. They offer a wide variety of breads, cakes, pastries, cookies, sandwiches, & desserts, all displayed beautifully. Everything looks fresh & carefully prepared. It was difficult to choose because there were so many delicious options available. The pastries I tried were fresh, flavorful, & perfectly baked.
The staff members were friendly, patient, & helpful while answering questions about their products. Service was quick, & the entire experience felt welcoming from start to finish. Don't forget to get the loyalty card MOI
to collect points & enjoy special promotions & rewards on future visits. It's a great bonus for regular customers.
I highly recommend this bakery to anyone looking for quality baked goods, excellent variety, & a comfortable place to relax. It is definitely a spot I will continue visiting regularly.
The pastry shop didn't have a big variety, but the small pastries we tried were really tasty & fresh. Unfortunately, the coffee was cold, which was disappointing. Because of that, I can't give it a very high rating, even though the pastries were delicious.

So happy they opened a Première Moisson in Verdun! I've been a fan of their bread & pastries for years, & finally having one close by is dangerous in the best way 😅 I tried their new pastry called Oh La La it's basically a croissant dipped in chocolate with chocolate inside… & wow. It lives up to the name! A must-try. It was around $6 which seems a little high as I'm used to Europe prices.
They also have a really nice selection of prepared & frozen items like quiches & baked goods, so it's perfect for grabbing treats to bring home. I don't think it's cheap tho.
Service was fast-ish considering it was a busy Saturday. Ambiance is lively & it's a cute spot to pop in & out of.
Only thing a little confusing: they have the black ropes so everyone naturally lines up, but then a staff member came over & told us we should be selecting what we want first & then going to the cash 🤷?♀? Since everyone was already lined up, they let it slide'just for today,' lol. I think it's just because it was packed, but maybe a little signage would help.
Overall, a great addition to the neighborhood. I'll definitely be back especially for that Oh La La pastry! 🥐🍫
This is the best Premier Moisson I have visited. The store is big & bright with a high ceiling & plenty of room to sit & enjoy a coffee & pastry or a sandwich or a salad. The staff are kind & attentive & they have fresh bread, pastries, cakes, & food all the time. Never disappoints. & the croissants aux amandes are the best I have ever had in Montreal.
Such a big selection of fresh foods, bread & pastries, with a generous seating section where one can enjoy their delicacies. Coffee counter also offers many great choices. We came 2 consecutive days for breakfast & also left with a couple of olive & fruit & nut loaves. The almond chocolate croissant was to die for. We will come back here anytime we're in the neighborhood.
