    Butter ball cookies
    Y S.

    Tasty but super heady cookies. Got half a dozen flavors and my favorite was the lemon. Cute shop and friendly person working there.

    Adorable bakery in our beautiful old Montreal. The entrance is nicely decorated with summer vibe. Plants, and little light bulbs illuminating lightly the porch. There is a bench on the side of the door; and the writing"J'aime beurre" on it. It was simply adorable. Inside, the counter with all the sweet goodies in a glass display. On the wall, few goodies placed on the shelves like cookies in jar, tote bag and many more things. Even on the stairs, the writing"J'aime beurre" are on it. The service is very amiable. We ordered our foods and drinks; and our server told her that she will bring our drinks to us. We went to second floor, where the sitting are. It was nice and cozy. I had macaroons (pistachio, raspberry and Mango). Our macaroons aren't regular size than usual ; they are actually petite. For my drink, my choice was matcha latte. Everything tasted so good. The prices were a bit high, compared to any other bakeries. Overall, cute place and delicious food.

    This is a perfect desert place to indulge in diverse sorts of treats. I picked up a bag of shortbread cookies and six macarons which are great as gifts. The butter balls have a cookie like texture and taste amazing. The only reason I gave them one less star was because a cake I ordered for a special occasion was made by an apprentice and it was so bad I had to return it. Otherwise, I love their desserts!

    During my sister's visit in the summer, I decided to surprise her with a high tea package. After a lovely morning of sightseeing in old Montreal, we made our way to Bar a Beurre, a charming and cosy bakery in the heart of the Old Port. The interior is gorgeous, plant and floral motifs everywhere. The seating upstairs is small and a bit of a squeeze but the decor with its bookshelves, greenery and brick wall, makes it feel very cosy and elegant. The girl serving us was very friendly and hospitable. She gave us a tea menu where we each chose our teas and were shortly presented with a big teapot each of the tea, gorgeous floral china cups and a mouth-watering two-tier display of fresh sandwich bites, scones, crossaints, lemon macaroons, chocolate bites and buttercream cupcakes! We devoured every single bite and were truly impressed with the quality of the delicacies and the service. Everything was superb and so delicious - a wonderful and memorable experience overall :) Highly recommend!

    About a 2-2.5: Bar a Beurre is a small little dessert and coffee shop, located off of Notre Dame. I specifically wanted to come here as I was curious about their 'boule au beurre' (an Italian butter 'ball' cookie). Behind the glass casing, they had a variety of different 'flavors,' such as apricot, confetti, pomegranate with orange, etc. I tried the pomegranate one, as that looked quite pretty with the tint of red and orange. The boule au beurre itself wasn't that exciting, as the butter cookie itself was a bit too dry and chalky; the jam in the middle was thick and quite sugary and overly sweet - it also tasted grainy from the sugar, as it seemed to not have dissolved all the way. The bakery itself is really cute - whimsical, with even bookcases featuring mugs and other gift items. I'm glad I was able to try this treat out, but won't be back for it! +known for their 'boule au beurres' (different flavors) +free wi-fi

    Fantastic coffee shop, great staff with top notch service and friendliness. The pastries are light and flavorful while the coffee is strong and yummy. The bread dishes are filling and well made.

    The "living room"

    Bar à Burre is a very nice and cozy pastry shop in the less busy part of old port. I was lucky to stumble upon it in March. I really enjoy the interior. The ceiling is high. All the seating is upstairs. There is an area with a bench and a couple of chairs as you enter upstairs. The shelves, little bookcase and the rest of the decoration give this a feeling of a living room. There are a few regular tables and high chairs along the "mezzanine". A couple of nice plants are located by the windows upstairs - I think that's the best spot in the house. The have a good selection of cookies and pastries. The almond croissant that I tried was deliciously crunchy and the sweetness was not overwhelming. Definitely recommend. The coffee was good too. The staff were very friendly and helpful in making decisions (though I imagine it would be very difficult to make a wrong choice). I thought the prices were reasonable. I look forward to trying out their paninis and salads next time.

    So pretty!!

    Perfect place to catch up with a friend with healthy teas and gorgeous pastries (yes, there are MACARONS)!!! The staff was very nice to accommodate my friend and I without a prior reservation, definitely recommending this cute spot!

    Such a cute cafe! We had made a reservation for a Saturday afternoon and there was a mix up and when we got there they had cancelled our reservations. It is always recommended to make reservations for high tea because they make the food based on the # of people who attend. We were 6 in total but the waitress was so accommodating that she was able to find us a spot upstairs. Because we were a larger group, she allowed us to move furniture around so that we could sit together. Once we were seated and ordered the tea, I was surprised at the size of the tea pot. We were able to get at least 6 cups of tea out of a pot and we all got to try each others teas which was really tasty and fruity. I was disappointed though because they were out of my 2 first choices. The food came out on those cute trays and we had 2 pieces of sandwiches each as well as a macaron, some pistachio cookies a second. The price was about $25 for each of us. Don't expect to get full from this type of meal. It's all about the experience!

    Lemon sandwich and macarons
    Khadeeja I.

    This was the cutest double floor bakery that we stumbled upon to shelter from the extreme cold. The serve was so sweet and came to check up on us twice. She even recommended some lovely options! The lemon sandwich cookie was delicious and not too sweet and the macarons were so good!

    Delicious!

    We were wandering around Old Montreal without a real plan and we happened upon this little gem of a bakery/cafe/coffee shop. What caught my attention was their adorable window display and the inside decor didn't disappoint either. It was so pretty, like the inside of a doll's house. There were a few tables and a counter to people watch outside the window. The delights behind the counter tasted as good as they looked. There were cookies, pastries, croissants and so much more and something for everyone. I had a hot chocolate that was so yummy! Since we stayed there, we were served in delightful tea cups. We were beyond happy in every way. The staff was so pleasant and they immediately helped us to feel at home. They did get busy quickly so we were soon on our way, but will definitely be back!

    Wow what a cute little place, when I entered I thought I was back in Europe or maybe more like Prague. I just loved the decor. And the reason of my visit was that I heard they had those famous Macarons from France. I was treated a latte but not being a coffee drinker cannot tell weather it was good or not. I am a Tea guy!!! I tried a nutella Macaron on the spot, texture was spot on bu the center was a little hard but still good. The rest came home for the kids and they were gobbled up very fast. Overall it was the feel and deco of the place that got me although I have had their custom cakes before for my B-day parties.

    Our meal.

    I discovered Bar a Beurre in the Old Port several years ago and was happy when I heard they opened…read moretheir second location in Griffintown earlier this year. They offer a variety of heavenly treats such as brownies, cookies, macarons and mostly known for their boule a beurre (butter balls) which is a quite unique concept. The place is absolutely adorable and so inviting from the entrance, with the flowers hanging from the ceiling, to the store layout and the bathroom. Every detail is well thought out and so satisfying to the eyes. Let's not think about calories for a moment ;-) I ordered 3 boules aux beurre: Red Velvet, Hazelnut/ Nutella & Celebration. All were tasty and quite rich so if you are ordering more than 1 make sure to share the joy. Staff was really friendly and helpful. If you're in the area, check them out.

    I knew the Bar a Beurre location in Old Port and was delighted to find them by accident in my new…read moreneighbourhood. The place is ADORABLE and the treats and sweets are as buttery and delicious as they can be. The boule a beurre is for me, a throwback to a childhood treat, as buttery and decadent as can be. The staff is super nice and friendly, they are dog-friendly too - at this point my dog loves coming here as much as I do, as he always gets some of their amazing dog treats. The chocolatine (or pain au chocolat for French native speakers) is by far, and hands down the best I had in my 4 years in Montreal.

    Desserts ETC is easy to miss. At first glance, the establishment doesn't exhibit any…read moreparticularities over its competitors. That's where our parents' proverb "Don't judge a book by its cover" comes into play. The inside of the establishment is clean, well-lit, spacious and welcoming. Cleanness and efficiency have obviously been the priority when setting up the seating spaces. I'd like to congratulate this establishment for having such excellent, friendly and efficient service. I've never waited more than 2 minutes for my order. I've never had such friendly conversations with cashiers either. This is the first time in my life that the friendliness and warmth of baristas is sufficient enough to make me want to go back to a coffee shop. Laughs and smiles, joyful attitude, etc. By now, I'm sure everyone's thinking: "Alright we get it, you want to marry the cashiers. But what about the food man? Get to it." Well, the thing is, I despise coffee. This is one of the very few establishments where I'll drink coffee. The cupcakes are heaven and the cakes are mouthwateringly good. Seriously my dear readers, forget Starbucks, Cafe Depot, Second Cup, etc. This place is amazing. They even have specials such as 1 cup of coffee and 1 chocolatine for 3$. 3$ guys. That's insane... 2.50$ if you want a croissants instead of the chocolatine. [Insert spam of heart emojis] In my white girl friends' words: "I can't even... like O-M-G, I JUST CAN'T EVEN. I can't. Oooooh my god." I'm a University student that was born in a ghetto of Eastern Europe. That means I'll keep searching for the best bang-for-my-buck until I give out my last breath. This here, is an amazing place. They don't have the variety other coffee shops do but they excel at what they do. P.S. This review is to describes Desserts ETC and not "Don Taco", a Mexican food establishment with whom they physically share the space. I have a separate review for them. P.P.S. There is WiFi. You need to ask for the password though.
