Review from Rannie B.

This place has, by far, the best bread I have ever tasted in Montreal. I had tasted their breads a few times before when I had meals at some of my friends places. Every time I would vow to go and get my breads there but never made it until this week.
It was early afternoon, the place smelled amazing as they were still baking. You can see the bakers at work as it's an open area. The bread counters are close to the ovens.
We tried a few breads including the kamut one and a Grand blond. They were both mind blowing delicious. The crusts were perfect and the insides even better!
Their croissants were very good but only second best to the ones at Aux copains d'abord.
They also have an excellent selection at their cheese counter. Their prices are similar to Hamel.
I also saw some nice jams and other preserves as well as fowl and game meat pies. I will try one next time.Listed in: My best of everything…

Must qualify this review by saying I'm not a bread expert. We got a baguette, a couple of chocolate croissants, and a chestnut pastry. The bread had a nice crisp crust, and the inside was light and chewy. Croissants were light and buttery with just the right amount of chocolate. The chestnut pastry was similar to the croissant, awesome.
Bottom line: I can't recall having bread of this quality in a long time. Americans need to improve their bread IQ. -

Went late in the day and the baguettes were still awesome. THis is how bread should taste. They open at 7am, so going as late as I did was't a good idea. I'll be going tomorrow at 7am to get fresh croissant. This place is on the lower level under a large video store and half of the location is a cheese shop. This is a must go for foodies with taste!

A great bakery selling common bread (i.e. baguettes and croissants) as well as specialty bread. We got a chocolate croissant that was flaky and buttery with good chocolate inside (none of the dry kind), a berry danish that was just fresh and sweet, and l'irrestible, bread with sesame, walnuts (I think?), raisins, and chocolate. Oh my goodness, that bread was delicious! It was savory (little sweet/little salty) and had a great texture.
They also sell cheeses. This seems like a great place to stock up for a nice picnic in the park. -

Baguettes just like in France! Crispy on the outside, soft, airy, chewy inside. What a beautiful thing!! I have yet to try their galette des rois or croissants but will do so very soon.
