First time visiting this place, but it's not new. In fact, it's been in the neighborhood for 5-6…read moreyears! Might be cause the storefront is not the most obvious as the bakery is quite small. 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.

We also tried the chocolate croissant and while it's very delicious I think it's just a little too rich for my taste. There is seating inside and outside. The service was very pleasant and there was no wait although there were people there. I will visit again when I return.

Croissants so good, you'd never guess they're gluten-free!…read more This cozy bakery sits on a tree-lined street right across from the beautiful Parc La Fontaine. I don't have a gluten allergy, but my travel companion does, and we ended up coming here every morning during our stay in Montréal. The croissants are incredibly buttery (made with margarine, so they're dairy-free too), light, and perfectly flaky. We also tried a few other pastries like the chocolatine and danishes, which were just as delicious. They sell their pastries frozen as well, and I bought half a dozen croissants to bring back home. The family who runs Parc sans Gluten was warm and welcoming each time we visited. This place is a true gem and whether you're gluten-free or not, it's worth a stop.

Indoor seating is limited and can get a little busy on the weekends. I just spent the last week in Montreal and visited 4 times. Croissants, pain au chocolates, milles feuilles, tarts, cakes, madeleines, oh my! I tasted so many things and as I sit here in the airport I am eating my final treat, a croissant sandwich with smoked salmon and a variety of fixings. When I find really good food I often forget to take pictures because of how fixated I am on enjoying it. This is one of those times. No pictures, only memories. My husband can eat gluten and he was delighted with everything we tried. This is a must visit bakery in old town Montreal.

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.

We survived off of them during a very long day at the grand prix. Once we realized we could bring in food, we immediately decided on bringing in a bag of them. They're flakey and buttery, everything you want in a croissant. We also had the ham and cheese croissant sandwich, which was delicious. We also got the yogurt, strawberries, and sliced toasted almonds. It was a runnier style yogurt that I really enjoyed. Everything complemented each other. Everyone there was super nice. There was construction going on when we went, making it a little hard to get to the entrance, but once we figured it out, it was a breeze. We also got their Italian sandwich to go. And just wow. Their baguettes are to die for. Everything about that sandwich was perfect. I craved them so much that when I got back home, all I've been eating for lunch are my sad attempts at an Italian sandwich on a baguette. Their bathroom is also pretty clean and has multiple stalls! There's not a ton of seating, but I saw a lot of people just picking up pastries/breads to go.
