They were running a special to buy 2 get one free, so obviously I participated in that! The staff was so kind, however the cupcakes were very dry. The icing was tasty but the cake was really hard on top and just dry throughout. I wanted to love them but unfortunately just couldn't. Hopefully it was just an off day!
Located near the Basilique of Notre Dame, this shop has cupcakes, ice cream and macarons. They have a few vegan cupcakes: The Choco-Ganache is topped with chocolate ganache. The Vanilla is topped with vanilla frosting. Their frostings are too sweet for me. But the cakes are moist and barely sweet, which I like.
We have a kid with dairy egg and nut allergies so not all ice cream parlors are created equal. While they do say there may be trace amounts of cross contamination, they used a new scoop on request and showed me the ingredients in the vegan ice creams to make sure I knew what was in it (only allergen I saw was soy but thankfully our kid isn't allergic to it). They also had six sorbet flavors. Kid loved it all!
This little gem not only sells cupcakes but also serves my favourite ice cream brand- Bilboquet! I come here quite often once spring is here to grab ice cream on a nice sunny day. My favourite flavours are: brouhaha and their sorbets. They are also well known for their cupcakes and my favourite flavours are: 1) red velvet and 2) caramel salé. Check it out if you're in the old port to satisfy your ice cream and or cupcake craving. The calories are so worth it :-)
Definitely a little bit of a tourist trap but good for a quick, expensive cone. They offer the cutest mini cone, a size I've never seen in the States. For 3.69$, you can get a regular, single cone, as well. I got the pistachio, which had a few chunks but I found a bit too artificial tasting, like it was made with pistachio extract. It was still very refreshing. My husband got the caramel with chocolate chunks, which was decadent. A handful of seats including comfy chairs in the front. Also has a public bathroom.
I am not a fan of cupcakes. I prefer to get my calories from other types of deserts, like chocolate deserts :) I was walking at the old port and finally decided to try the glaceurs. The place was beyond my expectations. And I can say that it is the best place for cupcakes . I went there during an afternoon and asked the sales women what was their top 2 cupcakes. She answered direclty , our best is the red velvet and the vanilla cupcakes. I tryed the red velvet and it was really amazing ! it was tender, fluffy from the inside and chocolaty. The topping was sweet to perfection. It was the exact right amount of every ingredient. This is how you get a client to by other cupcakes. I do recommand this special red velvet cupcake.
Very happy that a cupcakerie exists in this town. Just a stone's throw from Notre Dame Basilica so there's no excuse to not go because when in Montreal, you have to see the Celine Dion Church. This is my second time here and it's so good and the staff is so nice. They also have little mini cupcakes in case you're like me and find yourself just eating through Montreal like there's no tomorrow.
Wonderful bakery! It smells so good the second you walk in. They have a wonderful selection of cupcakes, macaroons and ice cream. I was visiting Montreal for my birthday with my family and decided I wanted a small birthday cake. They was able to make me a cake in just 1 day! I'm so grateful to them. Their ice cream is so good I had some both when ordering the cake and the next day picking the cake up.
My friend and I walked on over for some dessert after eating lunch at Olive et Gourmando. Les Glaceurs serves the most heavenly, delightful, enjoyable, scrumptious, delectable, soft, fluffy, yummy, and visually appetizing cupcakes I have come across in Montreal! An added bonus: They sell Bilboquet ice cream AND Macarons! What else could a woman need? Seriously. For the longest time, Itsi Bitsi has been my all-time favourite for cupcakes, but now... they have some serious competition! I tried Les Glaceurs' Red Velvet (instant winner), and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough - both were good, but the Red Velvet stole my heart.
Picked up half a dozen cupcakes for the Easter weekend. I got to enjoy half of the "Caramel Sale" and the "Red Velvet". I'll be honest, the Caramel Sale was out of this world good but the red velvet was pretty good too! I think war can be stopped if we just delivered thousands of these cupcakes to them. Finally a cupcake place with actually really good cupcakes! Price-tag is OK, shame there's none in Laval....
Great cupcakes (With the exception of the carrot cake... It has walnuts. Just not a fan of walnuts.) I walked past here one day while my boyfriend and I were in Montreal and I marveled at the cute display. Didn't get a chance to go in that day but my boyfriend proposed a day later and surprise surprise, he had custom cupcakes made from Les Glaceurs. They were adorable and my fiance told me they were super accommodating and the only place he could reach out to for help with the engagement (since many places are French speaking). Only thing is they got the date wrong for the customization but didn't really bother us but could see that being problematic with other custom orders. We were really happy with the outcome, minus the typo. The cashier was super nice and congratulated us on our engagement and said she was so pleased to have a part in our special day. That was very sweet. Would highly recommend this bakery.

Ice cream was good but vegan chocolate cupcake was decidedly not. Dry cupcake and overly sweet frosting and steeply priced. read more
Very cute little shop in a touristy area right by the basilica. Everything looks very nice. We had a cupcake and while beautiful, the cake was super dry. Staff was nice and overall this place was okay, maybe I just had a dud cupcake. read more

Moving from 'French' to more of the North American vibe (but still with Canadian touches) the first of our next three sweet shops to visit would be Les Glaceurs, and although some will claim the trend is played out I still love the concept of individual sized desserts that allow me to sample a variety of flavors and therefore while it may seem outside my 'gourmet' tastes that means I still love a well made cupcake. Apparently a small chain centered in Montreal, Les Glaceurs had originally been left off my agenda as we had planned to get ice cream at Bilboquet, but when the shop was inexplicably closed and we found ourselves faced with cupcakes AND ice cream as an alternative we figured 'why not' - a surprisingly good decision that eventually led to us ordering three great cake including the standardizing Red Velvet, Salted Caramel, and the monthly special Tire d'Erable. Priced at $3.00-3.50 each and perhaps only 3-4 bites per cupcake expectations were high for the quality of these tiny treats and beginning first with the Red Velvet we were adequately impressed (aside from the red hot on top.) As the only un-filled option of the three the cake to cream ratio was spot on with the former dense and cocoa laden while the later was light and smooth with a bit of added sugar on the outside for texture. Moving next to the filled options, Salted caramel was an equally well constructed cake with a light vanilla batter topped with rich buttercream frosting and a drizzle of caramel, but what set it apart was what was inside - a liquid caramel center rife with sea salt plus a light dusting of fleur de sel on top. Moving last to the Tire d'Erable, an obvious choice given the season, our location, and my predilection to anything Maple - it was probably the best cupcake I've had in 2012. Beginning first with the same dense vanilla base as the Salted Caramel but this time swirled with maple in the batter and then replacing the buttercream ice cream with one of whipped maple butter before adding caramelized maple syrup and maple candied walnuts this was a flat out embarrassment of sweetness that pined for a glass of milk or coffee while also wishing I'd have ordered another - or picked up a few for breakfast the next day. read more
My friends and I stopped here after we saw the delicious-looking desserts through the window. The store was really cute inside. We had just eaten brunch, so we decided to only order one thing and share- a red velvet cupcake. It was DELICIOUS. They packed the cupcake in a to-go container and we took some spoons with us to eat it while we walked. I don't really like cupcakes that much, but I was converted- I'm glad I don't live in Montreal, or else I'd be eating cupcakes here every day. Also, it was fairly cheap- I believe it was less than $3 for the cupcake. Definitely check it out if you're nearby! read more

If I could give this place more stars I would! I have a thing for cupcakes...well more than I thing...I friggin love the stuff. Now... living near New York City, one would think that I would find the best cupcakes on earth, but Montreal and Le Glaceurs takes the top spot in my book. I tried the red velvet to start...it put a smile on my face from ear to ear. All of there cupcakes are moist and the icing is to die for, not so sweet, just perfect. Anyone who travels to Montreal should check this place out, its right next to one of the largest churches in town, cant miss it!!! read more

Great little place for some great cupcakes and some coffee. Went twice while on this 5 day trip. The red velvet cupcakes were really good got one both nights. Also had one that tasted like a salted Carmel one the second night it was really good as well. I tried one on the first night that had some apples in it not sure what it was called - it was good but not as great as the red velvet! The service was ver friendly and helpful! Great place for a quick dessert near the notre dame basilica. read more

I have heard of Les Glaceurs and my friends have raved about their cupcakes and ice cream. I have dying to try their ice cream since they sell Le Bilboquet ice cream. It was very hard to decide what flavour I should get because they had so many!! I ended up deciding with red velvet ice cream. It was delicious and very creamy! There were chunks of cream cheese and crumbled red velvet cupcake. Their cupcakes also looked very good as well! I have tried their chocolate cupcake at the Robert Bourassa location, but it wasn't that great. Maybe this location has better cupcakes? TIPS: Free wifi, stamp card, lots of seating and a chalkboard wall you can write on! read more

We stopped here for a to-go cupcake while walking down to the old town. We ended up sitting in and enjoying the smell that permeates through this delightful little bakery. This is a really nice we cafe/bakery in the heart of Montreal. The staff are also very accommodating. read more

It's your ordinary cute trendy cupcake shop. Do you have something better to eat after you've just toured the Notre-Dame Basilica? Probably not. Service was great. However cupcakes are a little small in my opinion. read more

Just picture this: a plump and fluffy red velvet cupcake with perfect cream cheese frosted entwined with a side of cold and delicate vanilla ice cream. Does that not make you want to run all the way to Montreal to this cupcake / ice cream parlor and slap your bills onto the counter, heaving and hungry for a too-perfect delicacy?!? YES. My friend Patrick and I were immediately enticed by the large window with adorable drawings of four cupcakes and an ice cream cone in between that read "Cupcakes, Creme Glacée & Sorbet Café." We looked at each other, looked at the door, and went in. The smell of baked goods is enough for those enzymes in your tummy, Mr. and Mrs. Ghrelin O-acyl transferase and kids to jump up and yell, FEED ME. They had special cupcake-ice cream combos that were a little less than $5--totally worth it. The service is fast and they're all smiles. I selected a carrot cake cupcake and vanilla ice cream and Pat went for the Red Velvet and vanilla. We chose two leather chairs right by the big window to sink into. And we sunk into them. People pass by and their eyes light up at the sight of ice cream cones with smiles drawn on them. The bakery smells of sweet icing and laughter. The actual store is a decent size, clean, chic and enticing to children and old folk. The bathroom is even pleasant! If you would like to know, the cupcakes were absolutely delicious. Especially with the cold ice cream. I'm usually skeptical of baked goods made from scratch (only because I love boxed cakes so much) but if cupcakes and ice cream had 0 calories I would be at Les Glaceurs 24/7. Well, not that much. read more

After getting caught in a torrential (not even kidding) downpour without my umbrella, I was in serious need of some cupcake therapy of the Red Velvet kind. Lucky me that Les Glaceurs was right on my way back to the hotel. I was soaked head to toe so ice cream didn't appeal to me, but the cupcakes caught my eye. Oh, did they look good!! I got one of the red velvets and a coffee to warm up and settled myself in to enjoy. And enjoy I did. The cupcake was delish and the coffee hit the spot. The only thing about the cupcake that I wasn't crazy about was the icing. It was too sugary sweet for me. But the cupcake was perfectly moist and crumbly. The shop is a bit small and looks like it could get crowded easily (it was a tight squeeze when I was there on a Friday afternoon). There are some comfy chairs up by the window that would be perfect for a longer stay but this really is more of a grab and go type of place. read more

Trying to get away from the throngs of tourists that were herding themselves down Rue Saint Sulpice to port area of Old Montreal, I also started craving for some ice-cream and gelato. The sign hanging outside the door was all it took to convince me to seek shelter. Luckily not too many people were inside, and I was able to take a good look at the displays of cupcakes and ice-cream flavors. I decided on a lemon cheesecake cupcake and a mini sized very chocolaty looking with nuts ice-cream (a Moka-Foulli flavor?). I'll just say that the ice-cream did the trick to cool me down until I decided to head on down to the port area. It's a haven to stop in if you want to escape the crowd and enjoy some cupcakes and frozen treats for a short time when you're in the area. read more
During my touristy stroll through the history Old Montréal area, I needed a fix for my sweet tooth! Lucky me, I see a black sign with neo green words "Les Glaceurs" with drawings of cupcakes and ice cream cones. As I walk in, the display of beautifully designed colorful cupcakes boast a delicious time yet to come. The price seems a bit steep with $2.95 per cupcake, $16 for six and $30 per dozen. I got the red velvet cupcake on my first visit and the rum raisin ice cream cone on second time back. The cupcake's frosting wasn't too sweet and in my opinion, if they scaled back on the frosting and made it slightly more moist, it would be perfect. The rum raisin flavor has always been my all time favorite ice cream flavor since I first tried the Häagen-Dazs variety many years back. The two other variations of this flavor at Lappert's in HI and at this location are equally as satisfying or better. read more
