50 Best Bakeries in Montreal

“The slice of kouign amann cake I ordered was incredible. So buttery! The gentleman who served me was lovely. The coffee was delicious. The next time I am in Montréal, I will definitely call ahead and order a full cake!“

“Started last Friday’s day off with a stop at the amazing Cafe dei Campi. Fully veganized Italian pastries and small pizzas. Soups and salads too but I stuck to the Italian specialties. Hazelnut filled tortellini melt in your mouth pastries. Amarettis and Biscotti. The essential Italian cafe’s big espresso machine which makes the perfect double espresso with the layer of crema and their cappuccino with perfect foam. Accompanied with a flaky delicious cornetto, it felt like heaven. Much chatting with my friend and a necessary second cornetto and espresso completed our visit by closing time. We had lucked out with a table. Had a great rest of the day that right from the start, arriving at the cafe there was a couple with their little boy wearing a Metallica t-shirt. Of course I had to comment, he was so cute and responsive to my speaking to him. And found out he’s a true fan of heavy metal music, this beautiful 4 year old boy named Sandro. So the day was pretty perfect.🖤“

“The best cake pop (birthday cake) I’ve ever had in my life!!! Lucky for me I walked away with just one but I could have easily eaten the entire tray!!! They are mouth watering and I will be back and pretend it’s my birthday EVERYDAY!!!!“

“Très bon j’ai adoré les lahmajounes je recommande!!“

“This bakery is amazing!! Everything is always delicious and the staff is all so friendly. I come here almost every week and look forward to it every time :) the autumn muffin, focaccia, and the toasted grain bread are all personal favourites, but you really can’t go wrong with anything!“

“This is a very good boulangerie located along Mont-Royal Ave East that is open from 7am to 6pm daily. They have a fair sized indoor seating area, many visitors seem to pop in for morning take-away. There was a short queue when we arrived 7.30am midweek. You'll find a nice range of mostly French style breads, tarts, pastries and bakery products. We particularly liked their quiche and almond filled croissants. Coffees served up on the day were very good as well. This seemed like a great boulangerie, one we'd like visit regularly if we lived in the area. Would gladly revisit next time in Montreal.“

“We weren't so happy with the free breakfast provided at the hotel where we stayed, so on our second day in Montreal we went to Plougastel instead. We kept going back every morning until the day we left! We tried brioche and a number of different croissants. Everything we ate was wonderfully fresh and tasty. The almond croissant was just delicious, with the perfect level of sweetness. They tend to be too sweet in other places, at least in the US, for my taste. The brioche was so good that I had to have two each time. The service was very friendly. Although the bakery opens at 7.30am, the owner told us that we could come in before then and the door would be open. True to his word, when we arrived at 07:00 the next morning, the door was open. This was very useful when we had an early morning trip to Quebec City. We tried both lattes and espressos, and they were both really good. At least three times, we happened to walk in just as something hot was coming out of the oven. Nothing like a still warm brioche. On our last breakfast in Montreal, we also bought a baguette 'for the road'. Along with some cheese, it made for a simple yet tasty lunch at YUL airport before our flight. Prices are very reasonable. Great place! Highly recommended!“

“Very tasty pastries and cake rolls. Variety flavors and great service“

“The staff were so kind to my friends and I who were visiting Montreal for the week. We made sure to come back every day because the experience was so enjoyable. Coffee and food was amazing, couldn’t recommend enough. Thank you!“

“Une très bonne boulangerie. Le pain sportif est mon favori.“

“I have to say this is one of the kindest and tasty bakery in Montreal, i got 3 lahmajoun and the dough was so great exactly like in middle east, the texture was amazing it reminds me of old memories.
The lady that serve and women when they know that i didn’t have any cash to pay they gave it to me for free and say whenever you pass you can pay, and then she said you don’t need to pay this from us because it’s your first time here.
So sweet to meet people like this in Montreal, remind me of my country.“

“Croissant 🥐 and pastry! Exceptional products and friendly service!“

“I stopped by after a recommendation by the pharmacy team across from this place. A pleasant welcome with lovely smell of fresh pastries, the scent of coffee and smiling staff. My order was for hot chocolate and it was stellar! I will be back, keep up your originality and stay independent, it's a refreshing experience.“

“Excellent service! Une belle découverte ! Beaucoup de choix tous plus alléchants les uns que les autres… on ne sait plus quoi choisir! On peut prendre le repas sur place. Tres bonne qualité de pâtisseries ❤️“

“A cafe that’s not in the Avenue du Mont-Royal, hidden from the crowds, but it’s like a hidden gem in the neighborhood. I finally able to visit this cafe since it’s always crowded everytime I tried to visit and finally able to visit. The atmosphere is really cozy. It combines the Montreal and the Brazil feeling for the decorations of the cafe.

The barista and the owner is really friendly welcoming. They even let me to practice my french and encourage me too, which i find in some cafes, they will immediately switch to english once they see my accent. They also kind to explain me some of their products too.

Their warmness also translated into their delicious coffee and soup too. All of their products are homemade too. Their coffee tastes strong and delicious, using the Brazilian coffee bean. Their soup is good also, warm and delicious. I would like to try their patisseries in the future for my next visit. I will be visiting this cafe again in the future if I manage to get a space since this cafe can be full, especially on the weekend.“

“It’s my favorite Chinese bakery. The variety and creativity of the buns are impressive, and it’s a treat to see my daughter enjoy them, especially since she’s such a picky eater!“

“😀endroit sympathique et accueillant très bon pain et café!“

“Everything is very delicious and good quality ! Like home-made, My family like it !“

“My pumpkin pie consisted of a very very fine layer of pumpkin nestled on top of a very very thick Almond substance crust, horrible, just horrible.Extremely disappointing, it’s an outrage actually, I want my $18.00 back!! I will never return, nor should anyone“

“Fantastic sourdough breads…olive walnut is a favorite, along with cinnamon and raisins…and all their monthly specials!! And the rosemary and sea salt focaccia which should be available all the time 😱😍. It’s not super convenient for me to go there, but I make the trip at least once or twice a month because the quality is superb. Kudos!“

“merci à la patisserie marius et Fanny. ma famille a demandé un buffet traiteur pour mes 60 ans. ce fut un excellent choix , la bouffe est très bonne. tout ma,famille qui viennent de l Estrie à merveilleusement mange. excellente bouffe, ma fille a reçu d excellent conseil lors de la commande. merci“

“Très bonne boulangerie italienne qui fait de superbes sandwiches, belle découverte allez les encouragers 🇮🇹“

“Vitrine qui ne paye pas de mine, assez rétro mais ne vous laissez pas tromper! Passez le sasse d’entrée, les effluves de beurre, croissant, pain chaud et autres délicatesses égayent vos sens. L’étalage est simple, fournie et alléchant. Vous trouverez les grands classiques décuplés par des ingrédients de choix et savoir-faire tout en délicatesse et gourmandise. En bref une bombe! L’eclair au chocolat m’a fait pleurer, le croc-monsieur m’a fait fermer les yeux de bonheur le café m’a fichu un émerveillement aux neurones quand à la tarte au citron j’en suis encore toute retourné… Simple efficace bon tout ça avec le sourire… dure de repartir 😉“

“Was craving babka and this bakery was surprisingly still open in the evening. We got the babka loaf, a chocolate cheesecake muffin, and a rectangular cheesecake piece in the fridge section. The babka was pretty good, although I personally prefer the fragrance of the Montreal Kosher Bakery’s one. The other desserts were just basic, mostly only tasting sweet. Service was just ok, employees were speaking Spanish to each other and not that friendly.

The bakery itself is in a very bright and modern looking space.“

“Cet endroit est un incontournable à Montréal ! Les pâtisseries sont incroyables, leurs sandwichs aussi et sans oublier leur café 🤌. Le personnel est vraiment sympathique, je recommande à 1000%“

“I just moved in January and this place is right across the street from me <3 Super friendly owners and amazing fresh baked bread. I reccomend the milk bread but go early cause its usually gone by the afternoon! 10/10“

“The best you won’t even know it’s lacking anything!“

“Absolutely delicious Gluten Free and vegan options too.“

“Excellent baked goods with consistent great quality, the area is super hard to get to because of construction and there are sketchy people around, but none of that is their fault, just a heads up. There is a lot to choose from, but it’s a popular place so get there early if you have a particular favorite in mind.“

“Amazing breads and croissants. The service was quick and the outside atmosphere was great.“

“Sérieux! je viens d'essayer la tarte au citron. Malade!!!!“

“Les meilleures viennoiseries en ville. Je suis d'origine française et je peux vous dire que même en France j'en trouve rarement d'aussi bons.“

“Great Place For Pizza And Anything Sweet They Have To Offer..“

“This is a top-notch coffee shop with professional, friendly owners and pastries as delicious as those I’ve enjoyed in Paris, France. Each pastry strikes the perfect balance of savory and sweet, and I couldn’t resist visiting multiple times during my trip from Windsor, Ontario. Thank you for your wonderful service — I’ll be sure to stop by again next time I’m in the city. Highly recommended! My favorites were the croissants and pain au chocolat.“

“Jeanne et Lucas ont donné un super service! Bravo!“

“amazing empanda, glorious croissant, how the heck is this food gluten free (and why do I live so far away!) 💯 recommend to anyone wanting yummy food, especially those with celiac!!“

“charming pastries, Parisian bakery, great croissants one of the few places left with the real deal. Great atmosphere and love the bread? I will definitely make this a go to spot. Prices were good for breads. Sandwiches a little steep, every else within the norm.“

“This bakery deserves 5 star.... Cakes are the best taste wise its to delicious... and the best thing is this the only place in Montreal where we can find eggless cake... no taste change.... The nature of the lady is too sociable, affable friendly.... and try to call them first and order and check timings... and also try cookies it is too delicious...“

“Encore une fois un gâteau magnifique et et succulent ! merci à vous !“

“🥰Une vraie boulangerie artisanale... Flûtes sur levain, baguettes et ficelles croustillantes, miches moelleuses, pains briochés savoureux, croissants pur beurre, au fromage ou aux amandes, et plein d'autres nouveautés. Tout pour satisfaire vos envies gourmandes“

“I visited from the Greater Toronto Area and loved this bakery tucked away around Jean-Talon Market. The baked goods for the day are posted online. I got a baguette, half a brioche, and an almond croissant. The baguette was so good that I ate it in one sitting. I regret not buying another baguette. Prices here are also cheaper than in Jean-Talon Market. Loved it and can’t wait to try more when I come back to Montreal!“

“J'ai commander un gâteau personnalisé pour les 16 ans de ma fille et elles sont su répondre exactement à nos attentes. Le processus a été agréable du début à la fin et le résultat extraordinaire. Je recommande fortement!!! Merci!“

In depth review:

I had the chance to visit Le P’tit Atelier, Boulangerie & Pâtisserie in Montreal for a late birthday treat with a friend, and it was such a lovely experience. The vibe of the place is cozy, and the pastries are clearly crafted with care.

I started with a macchiato, which was smooth and well-balanced—nothing too strong, but just right for a little caffeine boost. The tiramisu, though, was definitely the star of the show. It was so creamy and perfectly balanced, with the right mix of sweetness and coffee flavor. It was honestly one of the best I’ve had.

The passion fruit tartlet was also a winner—refreshing and tangy, with a nice buttery crust. It was light but flavorful, though I did wish there was just a bit more filling. I ended with the vanilla baba au rhum, which was super moist, but I found the flavor a bit too mild. I expected the rum to pop a little more, but the texture was spot-on.“
