Serano comes across as a neighborhood bakery known for fresh, high quality pastries, breads, and desserts with a wide range that includes Greek, Syrian, Turkish, and Balkan influences. Reviewers praise standout items such as baklava, tiramisu, the Opera cake and praline cake, croissants and éclairs, and describe the desserts as delicious, flavorful, and reliably fresh. The staff are described as friendly, patient, and helpful, with fast service and good value for the level of quality, though crowds can make the experience feel busy and a few days offer a more limited cake selection or items that miss the mark. Overall, Serano is seen as a reliable Laval favorite with generous portions and a welcoming atmosphere, a place to return for birthday cakes, specialty breads, and a broad dessert menu, even as prices vary and peak times can be a challenge.
The cakes here are always good. My favorites are the opera & the praline cake, I also enjoy that they sell individual portions which is perfect for when you can't agree on what kind of cake to get. The tiramisu cake tastes great & also has a nice texture, but be aware it's not exactly authentic as it's not made of lady fingers but rather thin cake layers.

Trying their baklava, mille feuille, strawberry cheesecake, & their éclair au chocolat. Simply amazing!!! Haven't had such a tasteful Mille Feuille that great in a long time. This place was shared by very good friends & they mentioned this is a great plant & I can concur. Staff is super friendly. Got very busy quickly as we were there.
This place is amazing my uncle brought me here they serve you fast even when busy. Pastries ❤?. I tried the Greek Mille-feuille amazing. If you are in the area it's worth the stop
We buy most of our regular cakes from this store. Other pastries are also really good.
A little old style shop, not much room in the store, at times get busy, selection is limited, but products are high quality.

I tried their cakes twice, & they were ok, but most importantly they're clean, that's why I decided to go back there to order 2 cakes for 2 separate parties. However I was surprised when I was ordering a strawberry cake or a'fraisier', the woman that takes the cakes' orders, insisted on the fact that they don't do this cake, noting that I've seen it there before & I could spot it in the reviews' photos. That'saleslady' also insisted that they don't make cakes without almonds (the option that exists on your cake list), & she tried to tell me that they don't make'forêt blanche'!!! 😂😂
Good luck with such a great salesperson that made you lose 2 orders in one shot!
De loin, la meilleure pâtisserie que je connaisse. J'habitais Laval c'était à côté, & habitant Montréal je pensais y aller moins souvent. & c'est impossible de résister à leur millefeuille grec. Les croissants au beurre sont excellents.Les même que en France. En fait peut importe ce que je vais acheter, je suis sûre de ne pas être déçue chez Serano
Seul bémol, l'espace est petit à l'intérieur. Sans doute du à la popularité. Mais en toute franchise, ils en valent le coup.

There's a strange vibe at this place. Every time I come here, no one smiles. It's like they're all unhappy with life, with each other, & even themselves. It's unsettling really. Seriously, how hard is it to be welcoming or at least neutral? I started thinking it was just me, but then an older woman came in, followed by a younger woman, & then an older man. It was the same thing. Anyways, the chocolate croissant is delicious, & the bread is good too. But the service & atmosphere? sh it.
