We were wanting to pick up some kind of breakfast/lunch one of the mornings here in Brossard and…read moredecided to try out Premiere Moisson. In short, one your standard chain patisseries serving savory and sweet goods alongside various other items. Not bad!
L O C A T I O N
Premiere Moisson is in the DIX30 district area part of the area with Starbucks Cafe. There's various other stores nearby like a meat shop, fish shop, etc. It's quite interesting how specialty stores are prevalent around here. Lots of parking shared by all the stores.

It's a fairly sizeable store. There's a person at the front monitoring the number of people inside and will give you a ticket with a number. That number is your place in line to order, so pay attention to the number being called and yes they will say it in french so know your numbers! There's a deli area, pastry area, dessert/cakes, and breads. In the center there were other goods like chocolates, jams and other items. They also sell drinks.
T H E G O O D S
As I mentioned they have a variety of items from deli (sandwiches, pastas, etc.), drinks (espressos, juices, etc), pastries (croissants, tarts, etc.), desserts (large and small cakes), breads (loafs, small savory items, etc.), jams, and chocolates.
We got a few items: a mocha, a small almond pear tart, and a cranberry fig bread with raclette. The mocha was rich, a little bitter, but went well with some of our sweet items. The almond pear tart was good. Not very memorable. What was memorable was the cranberry fig bread. It looked like something from out of this world. It was hard and chewy, but the flavors were quite good. There were walnuts I believe in the bread as well. The fig sweetness went well with the cranberry tartness and the funkiness of the raclette cheese went well with everything. The only thing was that it was kind of hard to eat. Like hard hard...not difficult.
S E R V I C E
It was like a well oiled machine in there. So many people. They wrapped our tart in a fancy box even though we were going to just eat it right away. The bread wrapped in a bag. The mocha did take a little time though to get.

It basically has your basic bakery needs and then some. Nothing was amazing, but everything was ok. Definitely a place to try out some goods and grab a quick bite to eat and something warm to drink especially during the cold wintery days.
