It's a very aesthetically pleasing cafe and the staff were very friendly and helpful. And the food was amazing! We had their Avocado Toast and their Smoked Salmon Croissant. Both were great dishes, but the salmon croissant was the star of the show. The salmon was perfectly tender and it paired so well with the soft buttery croissant and fresh cucumbers. The plating was so beautifully done for both dishes and the drinks came in a lovely ceramic cup. Not only did they have breakfast foods, but they also had a bunch of bread and pastries to order. We bought a bunch to snack on at the airport. You can't go wrong with any of them, but I just love their croissants.

Boulangerie Guillaume caught my eye unexpectedly. I did not have this place on my list of bakeries…read moreto try while in Montreal, but as I was walking in the area I noticed many people holding their distinctive yellow bags. I was intrigued, and since I can always go for some carbs I decided to head in and check this place out. Unlike most bakeries I visited, Boulangerie Guillaume has a much more modern look, and is larger than a standard bakery. Walking in, I was immediately greeted by stairs which led up to the main production area. All of the bakes were arranged on the back-wall perimeter of the space separated from the pedestrians by a glass wall. The color scheme was mostly black to contrast the bright yellow of the bags and signage. The arrangement of the bakes, combined with the color scheme and modern aesthetics, resulted in a stunning, visually striking presentation. I wasn't too hungry, but I can always go for some sweets and their date square looked good. I went with that, along with a cappuccino. The square was delicious - the dates were high quality, and the crust underneath was moist while maintaining its integrity. The cappuccino was also good, a great complement to the bake. Service was efficient, and overall I had a great experience at Boulangerie Guillaume. I definitely want to return to explore more of their menu - I noticed they had some savory items so perhaps for some lunch. Definitely one of the best bakeries I visited in Montreal.

The focal point of the bakery is of course, the counter. There is a paper ticket system for service on busier days. When I went in, it was quiet so ticket optional. We were greeted right away by friendly staff. When I asked for recommendations, Marie took me on a visual and descriptive tour highlighting some of their specialty products. I went for the seasonal maple roll dusted with icing sugar, topped with white chocolate chips and a maple crust. Also took a slice of pear almond tart. They were both $4.50 each. The maple roll was densely packed and so much more than a snack. It's really bready so you could have it for breakfast. Slightly sweet and covered in a light glaze. The tart was light tasting and the pastry was full of buttery goodness. Texture is a little bit interesting because it's a cold tart, the juice from the pears soak into the almond paste and make it a little bit cold and slightly mushy. Some people might not like that but I found it ok. Service is friendly and attentive. Pastries are good but a bit expensive.

After arriving in Montreal, a local recommended Au Petit Paris for authentic Parisian pastries…read more Located on Mont-Royal Avenue, a vibrant pedestrian street full of cafes and restaurants, the bakery immediately impresses with its elegant interior and beautifully displayed, refined pastries. The staff behind the counter were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, answering questions about the ingredients. They offer a wide variety of items, including cannelli, kouign-amann, fruit tarts, and cruffins. I tried a passion fruit cruffin ($4.00 CAD), kouign-amann ($4.30 CAD), and a Chocolate Noisette (~$4.00 CAD). The Chocolate Noisette was excellent--crispy outside and soft, flavorful inside. The passion fruit cruffin was also very good, with a subtle fruit flavor and a tender texture. The kouign-amann, however, wasn't my favorite; it was too crispy and crunchy throughout, but lacked softness inside, and I prefer the ones at Kouign-Amann Bakery right down the avenue. There are a few small tables inside, and on the day I visited, it wasn't crowded. There's also a restroom for customers. Overall, the staff are friendly, the pastries are elegant and refined, and I enjoyed my visit. I would definitely return and recommend this bakery.

One of the things I personally noticed about Montréal is that even with some of the Boulangerie+…read morePatisserie chains around, some of the products actually taste good and don't seem mass-produced. Others on the other hand, do. Choose between window stools or the shareable high-top tables+stools in the middle of the shop to sit a bit and enjoy your coffee or pastry. Service was outstanding and price was reasonable. The energy isn't rushed but do be mindful that this location is small. The sourdough Baguette we got was anything but 'chain' and had that perfect crispness and soft inside that said, 'homemade'. My Matcha Latte was good and hubs liked his decaf Cap. My Chocolate Croissant had a wonderful glob of dark chocolate goodness in the center and wished I had another. Their kouign-amann was heavy; considering what I've read about its light interior, this one fell short. Both the baguette and my chocolate croissant were the all-around winners out of the few other things we picked up- but will keep these guys in mind for these two items and hot beverages.
