Boulangerie Guillaume caught my eye unexpectedly. I did not have this place on my list of bakeries…read moreto try while in Montreal, but as I was walking in the area I noticed many people holding their distinctive yellow bags. 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.

My favorite was def the pistachio but the strawberry was surprisingly amazing as well. The jam was so fresh and rich. All the creams oozed out (dare I say, too much yummy goodness?? Never) Absolutely amazing, hands down the best bakery we tried during our trip. Would fly back just to eat here again. Location: hidden away down a flight of stairs. Some indoor and outdoor seating. Near the water so you can go on a walk and sit along the waterfront!

He was friendly and attentive. The coffee was good. The London Fog was fine. Neither were sweetened which was good though I will add that a London Fog at a minimum should have vanilla in it, even if not sweet. I got an almond croissant which wasn't really photo worthy and found it to be dry even though it had a nice moist almond paste inside. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but it was an okay option on our way out to see the Montmorency falls.

I had never heard of or tried a Kouign‑Amann (pronounced "queen-a-mahn") before, so I was really…read morelooking forward to this visit, and the reviews were absolutely right. 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.

The mountain of room-temperature butter should have clued me in on the wondrous delicacy ahead. My…read moresister shared this hidden gem with me, a treat for all the walking we did. 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.

The entire place looks attractive and a feast for the eyes. They are open everyday from 7am which makes it super convenient. There are a couple of tables that you can eat on site and parking is free.

The minute you walk in, the aroma of all the desserts (some German-made) overtakes your nasal passages. You are then greeted by a staff member who actually looks like they want to be there. The greeting is kept simple & you're free to wander around and gape over all the lovely treats they offer aka: no overwhelming "Can I help you?". Their pretzels (offered in many flavors) and cookies are baked to perfection. Doughy, crispy and sweet. Oh & their homemade "Pretzel Chips" were a lot of fun to try! Whether you live in the East End or not, it's worth the trip!
