Un Instant en Provence

The best lemon tarts I have ever had, & I have had a lot, across N America, France, UK... Super bright & lemony without being cloying. The texture is perfect, smooth & redolent. The cookie bases were all nicely baked a deep golden brown & not soggy. My own preference is a bit less sugar as the sweetness competes with the filling. But... this kicks the lemon tarts at the Mtl chain bakeries to shame. Prices are marginally more here, but well worth the extra buck for something that you can tell was made with love. I'll pace myself with the other items as I'd be broke & fat after a few weeks. Everything there looks lovely. The cafe itself is adorable with whimsical touches of Provence, very clean & bright & delicious smelling.

Unfortunately, it didn't match the expectations built based on most of the reviews here. Pain au chocolat is quite average, not flaky, butter flavour wasn't there. The only thing I liked about it was the chocolate used. There are way better croissants & pain au chocolat in Montreal. We liked the eclaire chocolat but it's over $7, not worth the price in our opinion. We also tried the tiramisu / chou which is over $8. It didn't taste like tiramisu & the chou was nothing special for the price paid. The coffee shop itself is nicely decorated, simple but cute. There are only 3-4 tables & the rest is a long bar with stools. Staff is welcoming & quick to get your order. On-street parking was easy to find & free. Overall, I'm not french but it didn't meet my expectations, one of the things I love about Montreal is the variety of great french pastries & boulangerie so I'm always open to try new places. Also, I found it to be overpriced.

Un peu coûteux, mais qu'est-ce que c'est bon ! Ça vaut le détour. On sent la passion de leur métier.

Super cute place, stopped in for a snack & coffee with my family of four. Lavender latte was something interesting to try, pastries were delicious & the vibe was fabulous. You can tell a lot of love went into this place. Super happy to have stumbled upon it.

Super bel endroit! On a essayé les croissants & ils étaient excellents. Ils étaient à la fois croquant & moelleux en même temps!

Étant niçois & ayant toujours vécu dans le sud est de la France, je n'attendais à retrouver les saveurs de ma région. Alors oui l'endroit est magnifique, bien décoré avec les même affiches que j'ai chez moi. En revanche quand j'ai vu les prix, j'ai commencé à me poser des questions mais je me suis dis, ok a voir si c'est bon. & je dois dire que le croissant était fade, il manquait de goût & n'était pas assez poussé. Les pâtisseries sont mignonnes & petites mais pareilles, le goût n'y est pas. Je continuerai à allez sur Well pour mon pain & mes croissants. & l'accueil était comme les croissants & surtout comme nous les français : hautain 😁. Dommage car je vois passez des story's Instagram & cela me donnait envie de retrouver ma chère Provence.

While the croissants are exceptional (crunchy exterior, soft airy interior. & rich butter flavour), the coffee was a huge disappointment. I ordered a small almond milk cappuccino & it was so hot that it burned my mouth. When I went back in to inform the barista that it was way too hot, she became defensive & told me that's how it's done - she has to steam almond milk longer to get a froth. Other coffee shops don't seem to have this challenge so it's either an issue with the brand or the handler. Fortunately someone else stepped in & offered a replacement (which unfortunately was also too hot). There are better coffee shops in the city - it's not worth the detour.

Miam .. ! L'éclair a la lavande était très bon & délicat, la pâtisserie "Coco-mango-coriandre" était incroyable aussi, & le mi-cuit de chocolat, un régal aussi ! Une belle adresse pour un moment de délicatesse :)

The sandwich à la dinde & au brie served here is the best in Montréal. I have made many sacrifices for it. My waistline...my wallet...my ability to get through a single day without purchasing it for a month straight...the list goes on. Perhaps I'd be a better person if I'd never heard of it. But now I am a person who knows about this sandwich - & so are you.
