The service was friendly and very capable (one server was handling an entire breakfast rush without faltering). I wish I could try everything from the bakery. Note that if you want to dine in, just bypass the coffee and bakery line, but wait for acknowledgement before selecting a seat at the communal tables. I wish my French was serviceable to be able to better translate what I was told, but everyone spoke English well enough to get by.

The food is outstanding. Creatively conceived, really well executed, and delicious. Service is excellent, and not being great with French isn't a problem as the team here all speak English very well. And trying to converse in French even though I'm not good is appreciated. Ambiance is good, but there are communal tables, which I'm not a fan of. Not a big deal at all though, especially considering how consistently excellent the food is. The baked goods are all fantastic, too. Great breads, and sweets. It gets packed at lunch, so be prepared to wait. It's worth it.

You can tell they use quality ingredients cause you taste it in every bit. You can swing by and pick up their donuts for cheaper than you would pay at any supermarket. In my opinion their best and a must try is their glazed twist. Melt in your mouth good. So good you get a craving every couple of weeks that you just need to obey!!! You can thank me all later after you try them. Enjoy!

We were passing through St Jerome on our way to the Laurentians and discovered this lovely…read moreboulangerie / patisserie just off the main streets of city center. Being avid lovers of all things pastry, and always hunting for croissants as delightful as the ones we've had from Le Grenier à Pain in Paris, we stopped in. First and foremost, the staff were so nice and welcoming, tolerant of our stuttering French (and spoke English well). We tried the apricot croissant, butter croissant, blueberry chausson, and several choquettes. We sat at a nice clean indoor table and enjoyed our stash. Everything was delicious and they did remind us of Paris! Should we be in St Jerome again, we will be back again, happily.

There's parking right out in the front and when we went there were plenty of spaces. Inside they have fruits and veggies as well as other frozen and fridged food. They do have fresh maple donut holes which we did end up buying alongside an apple pie, cranberry apple pie and maple sugar pie. They do have one restroom in the back if you do need to take a little pit stop. The woman there was quite friendly and the place definitely felt like you're going to a neighborhood small grocery store. The maple sugar pie was ultra sweet and the cranberry apple was sweet but at least it was tart to balance. The maple donut holes and apple pie were the winners for me. I believe the donut holes were made from potato flour so it was savory and sweet. Overall, it's a nice spot to take a quick pit stop and grab some snacks and desserts before heading back to Montreal.

They specialize in loads of different dessert pies a huge selection of apple, blueberry, tarte au sucre, fresh doughnuts and many many other offerings. These delectable delights are in the room on the right side when you enter. If you walk to the back area in the main building they have freezer section of prepared foods in various sizes and a huge selection. My fave are the chicken pot pies. They are not chalky and lacking filling as I've had with grocery store varieties. Their chicken pies are creamy and packed full of veg and generous chicken serving. I've also had their tourtiere du Lac St Jean and it was loaded with meat and a few different kinds of potatoes! They also have various tourtiere, frozen pasta meals, cabbage rolls and loads of stuff your grandma may have specialized in. It's Sunday night comfort food! All delicious. There is a fresh fruit and vegetable produce area and also lots of jams and jellies that are great to discover. They make a great small gift. These types of country stores are a real gem. Plus you are supporting a small business! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

No waiting at the cash register, even though it was a busy day. The bad: Very busy. Parking lot is dangerous (people and drivers not looking). Nobody sanitize their hans when entering. Probably a great place to shop and do groceries. Too bad the entrance looks trashy and no one sees the sanitizer station. Also, watch out as people walk right in front of your car, even if you are rolling.

What my wife and I enjoy and appreciate about this IGA is it is definitely the nicest a very enjoyable shopping experience plus well laid out and clean. Their produce although a bit more expensive than other places seems to be much fresher and of higher quality. Recently for Mother's Day IGA has always the best price and it's the quintessential start of lobster season $6.99 uncooked and $7.99 cooked). You really can't beat those prices. They have a wonderful decorative and artistic bakery offering up loads of sweet tooth delicacies and desserts. Beer selection is top notch with a walk in cooler for larger 12-24 packs. Price is a bit more than other places but bearable. Fresh meat section is of very high quality cuts and selection. A great time to come shopping is in the evenings as it's virtually empty.

It's at the upper end of the spectrum in terms of cafe's that serve fresh baked goods and prepared foods. This location has expanded their cafe and also offered free wifi (a fantastic idea). For lunch you can get here in and out under $13 (taxes and tip) for an excellent lunch. On the day I came by I had indulged in a nourishing fresh bacon sandwich which was pannini grilled with lettuce and tomato. I was able to enjoy a fresh pea soup (not too salty) with this. All around it was awesome. People who know me well know I complain about a lot of the crap quality food in this province but here it's nothing but excellent quality all the way! Selection is good of soups, sandwiches, some pasta dishes and salads. Originally I'd come for their breads as they have really high quality crispy but fresh and soft inside breads. Baked fresh daily. Also their pastries and cakes are decadent and delicious. A very popular place especially during the holidays or valentines day as they always have a good selection of artisan chocolate.

This location in Ste Agathe is cute and packed with goodness. The parking here is not ideal, it's mostly across the street with a very small zone for cars to swing in and pick up their groceries when they leave. During covid times they've encouraged folks to call ahead with their orders, they aren't touching cards or reusable bags, limiting their hours and the number of people in stores and providing washing stations and sterilizing cash and counters. Do not sleep on the refrigerated cheese room. Glorious!
