    Chocolatine CAD$4.50
    Clara C.

    This bakery is on the north side of Rue St Paul in Old Port. From the outside, you can see their patio seating. The entrance is easily missed, but you just have to go down the stairs. The croissant is CAD$4, but it's quite a large size. It's very crispy and flaky! The chocolatine $4.50 was not bad. This one was so large too. The jambon cheddar $6.25 was ok; maybe it's better warmed up. They have an espresso menu as well. Service is good. You tell the guy what you want, and then you pay at the corner with the cashier.

    still thinking about our lovely breakfast here and missing this place already. We visited one early morning on a tuesday so it was still nice and peaceful. We went down the steps to a cozy bakery with a few seating inside and friendly staff. The pastries were made fresh and we got to enjoy a perfectly cooked smoked salmon sandwich, ham and cheese and fresh-out-the-oven pistachio croissant rolls! everything was sooo good! simple but quite satisfying for some reason. Outside seating is a delight if you dont mind cleaning up some bird poo a bit so you can sit comfortably. Overall we really had a great time. It would be nice to have the garbage bins moved to a location not by the steps though. But I get that maybe a "high-traffic" area would be best so the birds dont mess with it too much. if you stop by, definitely try their croissant rolls!! the pistachio one was just amazing!

    A really lovely cozy spot. Despite having a small footprint the pastries and coffee pack a punch! They've got a lot of croissant varieties and I got the ham and cheddar. It was surprisingly filling and tasted well. I also had a bite of the chocolate almond croissant and that was great as well with a nicely sweetened moist interior. Service was prompt and they will warm up your pastries on request. There's a small seating area to enjoy your baked items at. I think it is also worth mentioning they have very collectible merchandise with a charismatic croissant mascot.

    The bakery is located at the bottom of steep stairs, within one of the historical buildings in the waterfront area. The patio seating provides small and charming outdoor seating. The bakery has good coffee, a decent selection of baked goods, and good service. The pistachio roll is the star of the show. It's also self-service... so not sure why tips are requested at check-out and the place is overhyped IMHO.

    At the end of the busy St-Paul Street you will find this gem of a bakery. You'll have to go down the stairs to discover a cute little bakery making different croissant shaped pastries filled with a tasty cream... AND they sell wine as well and pizza! I could live in this " cave " without a complaint But don't worry, you can enjoy your sweet or savory treats on the nice wooden patio on the street.

    Wow, an absolute must for the carb seekers, the most amazing croissants, and just in awe of all the other breads and pastries they had. The servers were not super friendly but honestly I was there for the goods and they were worth the trip. Based in the basement area, the bakery is nothing fancy, but they serve all the coffee and tea drinks, and have seating outside with little tables for each person. We had issues with the wasps who loved our croissants too, but what are you going to do ! I ate every layer of my pain au chocolat, it was delicious. My friend had the ham and cheese croissant that was delicious too. They had pistachio and hazelnut chocolate croissants too. Too much to choose from! My dirty chai latte was the perfect morning pick me up, super creamy and strong chai flavor. So good. Highly recommend this basic but not so basic bakery.

    Pumpkin spiced hot chocolate and Ham Sandwich

    Cute little cellar bakery and coffee shop. Quick service and great quality food. We had the Notre Fameux Jambon Beurre - white ham, 6 month old Isle-Aux-Grues Cheddar, New Zealand butter and French pickle "Gherkin" on our sourdough half baguette. It was delicious. We also tried the pumpkin spice marshmallow hot chocolate as well and I really enjoyed the brûlée marshmallow.

    Pistachio "roll"
    Cyrus A.

    Do yourself a favor and come here if you are looking for amazing coffee, decadent pastries, or both. The espresso here was incredibly rich and smooth -- one of the best cappuccinos I've ever had. I was really impressed with the drink, and only wish I had time to go back for another. Not to be outdone, the pastries were also amazing. The pistachio "roll" (a croissant-like circle with a seasonal filling/icing) was incredible -- soft, flaky pastry oozing with gooey pistachio filling. Be warned, you'll need a nap after one of these. They also had a salted caramel version that my friend tried, to equal fanfare. There were plenty of other bakery items, including plain croissant, cookie dough croissant, and a really interesting take on a cinnamon roll, called a "cinna grizzle" (pictured). My next visit to Montreal will definitely feature at least one stop here!

    A croissant tastes better in the Old Quarter! Look for the yellow umbrellas at the end of the Bon Seceurs Marche. A delightful bakery with only outside seating, but it is a great spot to take in this part of the city. I am glad I went a second time because I prefer the plain croissant as it embodies all the characteristics I want. The ones with filling are a bit too rich and sweet for me. However, surprisingly the pastiche roll was a nice sweet option. Looks boring but trust me, The filling is velvety with a slightly crisp exterior. This is one of my top three spots for a croissant with the other two towards the Plateau. take a baguette home as well!

    Banh Mi and Pizza
    Angela B.

    Quite possibly the best bakery I've been to in my life. For someone who goes out of their way to find the best pastry, I feel that this bakery is a step above. We visited three times during a few days trip to the area. The banh mi and pizza slice were so delicious and fresh. While I did not take pics, we purchased quite a few different croissants. The pistachio croissant was amazing as well as the red velvet. Everything was near perfect. Service was fine. For those who have mobility limitations, please note that you have to go down pretty steep stairs to enter the bakery. It is quite snug as well, a couple small tables inside but plenty of outdoor seating during good weather. La Cave is enough for me to make a several hour drive to Montreal worth it. I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys good food.

    Cute little spot off the beaten path/underground. + tasty croissants + unique creations + smells heavenly inside! - very steep stairs - the rolled croissants aren't available until later morning :(

    A bit hard to find, but totally worth it! We tried Almond croissant and red velvet croissant. They were great! A bit pricey, but that's just Old port for you. The service was quick and the ambience was cozy. Would highly recommend this!

    Pain au chocolat
    Janay M.

    Omg what's cute little gem!!! We got just a pain au chocolat but they have the supreme ones that flavors rotate daily. The croissant was the best I've ever had. It was incredibly butter and soft. We also bought ketchup chips I love them.

This place was hands down a highlight of my Montréal food scene experience. The shop itself is very cute and cozy, with just two small tables by the window and a few chairs. The décor is simple, and so are your choices, which honestly works in their favor. When you step inside, you get a direct view of the bakers working their magic, which makes the experience even better. We ordered a hot chocolate, plain croissants, chocolate croissants, and a slice of the Kouign‑Amann. If you like a dark, rich hot chocolate that's not overly sweet, look no further, this is the place. As for the croissants, both the plain and chocolate versions were good but fairly standard. However, the real star was the Kouign‑Amann. It was served warm, perfectly crispy, and had just the right amount of sweetness without being overwhelming. It was so good that when I finished my slice, I went back to the counter hoping for more but they were sold out. To be fair, I arrived around 2pm and they close at 3pm. Despite that, the line moved quickly, and the staff were some of the sweetest people ever. My only regret? I only bought one slice. I'd highly recommend this place, but make sure you get there early if you want to snag a slice of Kouign‑Amann before they sell out.

We both had a "tranche" /slice /portion of the flaky pastry originating from Brittany. While it does not look like the Kouign Amanns I've had before, it definitely tasted fabulous. We were not the only ones who thought so. While we ate our bounty at one of the two open tables, we saw person after person purchase whole galettes, possibly for an upcoming family gathering. The pastry had a sweet and crunchy crust and a buttery interior. Here, it does not resemble a croissant. Instead, the layers of dough were softer than the typical honeycomb structure of a croissant. Speaking of which, my sister also recommends the croissants here, which she used to have regularly when the shop was open more frequently.

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 homemade ketchup had a sweet taste to it and was brought out a little colder than room temperature. I probably would have preferred the ketchup/tomato sauce to be a bit warmer. The Chicken Melt (8/10) - this sandwich was pretty big. It had grilled chicken in a creamy sauce, some Cole slaw (actually a lot of Cole slaw) and some dill pickles. The sandwich was a bit messy to eat and I think it had a little too much Cole slaw, but it was a good sandwich, nonetheless.

The Long Version: So I had never heard of Rossetti before. They didn't exist when I was living in Montreal (the 2000s) and after I left, my husband (who was still my boyfriend at the beginning) and I would return often (at least a few times a year until 2019) and I'm pretty sure they weren't around then. We took a few years hiatus from visiting Montreal and then when we returned in 2024, boom, Rossetti had 4 different locations in the downtown core! What's their origin story? I have no idea. Their website has no "About Us" section. All I know is they opened sometime between 2020 and 2024, lol. I tried their caramel eclair ($5.50). The caramel icing was really tasty, but I found the choux pastry and the custard filling a bit dry. They have cannoli, amaretti, financiers, croissants and tarts. They also have sandwiches and pizza. I was disappointed that they didn't have sfogliatella, my favourite Italian pastry. Oh, they also have coffees and teas. The interior is nice with seating to dine in. Service was neutral. I may return to try another item. Maybe at one of their other locations. Review #16 (2025)

After climbing to the Kondiaronk Belvedere on Mont Royal, we decided we needed sustenance on our way back down and we spied Rosetti as we were walking back to our hotel. Since it looked very similar to Rosetta, we decided to stop in and grab a bite. The sandwiches and pastries were on full display and we knew we made a good choice. I had a Pizza Margherita which was huge...I could have shared it. I also had a caramel tart for a sweet treat afterwards. Others in the group had sandwiches and other sweets which they all enjoyed. There are some stools at a counter downstairs and a little more seating upstairs with a few low tables along with some high tops and counters. The ladies who worked there were very nice. We enjoyed our food and think it's a great place for a quick bite that's a bit elevated from traditional fast food.
