Service was great, pricing was fair, options were plentiful, and the macaron flavors were full and rich. However, I don't believe the macarons are handmade here, and the texture was off as a result.
Picked up a box of 6 macarons and I tried the salted caramel and red velvet macarons. They were nice, chewy, and not too sweet. I think the salted caramel should have a bit more salt as it was more sweet than salty. I got 4 canneles for my friend and she enjoyed it.
Because of covid, I haven't had the opportunity to visit Montreal. I've been missing their macaron. It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago while catching up with a friend living in Montreal who shared with me that they actually ship to Ontario too! The time I found out this news, they had a promotion where it's $16 for 12 of the same flavour! At the time of my order, it was free shipping with purchases over $55. I immediately ordered 4 packs to tie me over until spring when I can finally visit in person. At the time of the order, I was advised my order will be dispatched on Tuesday (I ordered on a Friday, so it didn't matter to me). Monday was the crazy snow storm in Toronto and pretty much our whole city was shut down. Businesses were closed, Canada Post was not in operations, bus cancellations, cars on the highway came to a full stop, people stuck on the roads stranded for 10 hours plus and nobody can go anywhere... From what my friend told me, conditions weren't much better in Montreal. My order still managed to get out on Tuesday and I was kept up to date on the status of my order and received it on Wednesday! Delivery was super fast and the packaging was great! There was also a huge FRAGILE sticker in red to ensure the package was handled with care. The four flavours I ordered were creme brulee, strawberry champagne, pistachio and caramel seasalt. Aside from creme brulee that came in a little crummy, the other 3 packs were flawless. It's great they are shipping outside of Quebec so others across Canada can enjoy their products too!!
So good!! This is probably the best macaroons I had in Montreal and Toronto. The shell is so thin. The filling is not too sweet and the flavour is intense! $10 for 6. This is a bargain!! 21 flavours to choose from. They are all so pretty and it was just so hard to pick 6. If I would have know how good they are, I would just take all home! The packaging is really secure and safe for travelling. None of them were crashed during my trip and still in perfect condition when I took them home. Point G! You are perfect!
I heard many good things about this place. It's a tiny shop with beautiful decors. Macaroons are one of my favorite delights. Finally, I was excited to try this place. Since it is a small place; we were allowed two person at a time, therefore the wait time was little long. The moment we were in; there were an abundance types of macaroons. We decided to order a dozen of macaroons; and we asked to pack their bestsellers. Each macaroons were heavenly sweet treats. They were perfectly made; their flavors were bursting of fruits and flowers plus freshness. Recommended!
It isn't a bold statement when I say they make the best macarons I've had in Canada (I've sampled many across the provinces). Their products are fresh, airy, and come in many flavors including seasonal creations. My personal favorites are red velvet, creme brulee, lime and lemon flavors. They are also inexpensive at CAD $1.50 apiece! I make 2 to 3 super short business trips to Montreal each year and make time to visit this boutique no matter how little time i have! They come in presentable boxes so they make great souvenirs too!
It was our first time in Montreal, and we were out and about looking for things to bring back to New York. As we entered the store we were greeted by the staff very kindly. It was a little off putting when we saw the staff unwrap plastic packages and place them into the display case (they are not made fresh on the premises). There was a little bit of an issue when selecting the quantity we wanted. The pricing was 12 macaroons for $19, we asked if we could get 6 and 6 in separate boxes, and the lady said that could not be done. Ok, strange.. (6 macaroons were $12, and that wouldn't make sense to pay for if we were getting 12 total) The lady there was very nice when helping us select our macaroons. When we purchased the macaroons, we tried to ask if we could get an empty box because we were splitting the macaroons to bring home, and she said "we do not sell the boxes".. We were really disappointed because we traveled so far, and these were gifts for our family, and she wouldn't even give us an empty box... The taste of the macaroons were nice, but were will probably not return again because of this issue.
Now having gone, I'm confused. I really don't understand all of the hype for Point G. I had been hearing how these are the best macarons in Montreal, some of the best macarons you can find period, and so many reviews that co-sign that. Taste is too sweet, filling and cookie textures are wrong... I don't get it. What's the hype about? Two of my box of six are okay, but I've have better on several counts...taste, cookie texture, filling--in any one of, or all three of, those areas - you can find better macarons. And for a better price, at that. I will say, I have no issue with the service. The girl who assisted me was sweet and helpful, answered my questions about flavors, and packed a helpful key in the box to distinguish what macarons were in the box once they were home. Individual flavor breakdown: Chai Latte: This one has a very autumnal flavor. Tastes brings to mind crisp leaves and cinnamon brooms. It's subtle at first then intensifies and becomes a richer flavor, almost like a rich caramel or hint of dark chocolate. Too sweet, too loud of a flavor. I prefer the subtle initial flavor. Pistachio: My favorite. Among this box, this one is good. The texture of the cookie and the filling both seemed to be better with this macaron, and the flavor is not overwhelming or artificial. Sweet, but not too sweet, and is pistachio without tasting like fake pistachio flavoring. Has a nice pistachio taste. This macaron feels much more balanced and I would get this one again...but given the other flavors in the box I don't think that I would go out of my way to come back just for this macaron. If I happened to be on this street I might stop in a get a couple of their pistachio, but even then I don't feel moved to come running back to this store. Crème brûlée- This cookie seemed extra soft. Don't love that. The taste was bold though, tasted very loudly of caramelized sugar - more subtle at first then overwhelmingly so, more intensely than actual crème brûlée itself. But they got the overall flavor of crème brûlée pretty well, I would just make it more subtle and the flavor of this one at least would be quite good. Textures still not ideal for a macaron overall. Raspberry- Smells like wine, so I expected a wine taste. Tastes like red licorice initially with a deep raspberry jam aftertaste that develops. Very fruity. The texture of the filling is very jammy. If you like jams, you would like this one. For me, the textures of the filling and the cookie are too gloopy/sticky and too soft respectively. Rasp litchi - I wouldn't have clocked this as raspberry necessarily, or certainly litchi at all. Sweet flavor like some sort of candy I can't put my finger on, with an aftertaste like banana. I would think strawberry banana before ever thinking this is raspberry litchi. Poppy Flower - I wasn't sure what to expect with this one, but the name and vibrant color intrigued me. I'm not a fan of floral flavors generally and figured this may well be floral, but took my chances. Upon tasting it, it has no floral note at all and tastes like red candy...cherry balls and Swedish Fish come to mind. At first I wondered if maybe they mixed up and grabbed a cherry instead of the poppy flower, but no - the cerise macaron is a much deeper color, a darker shade of red. The poppy is vibrant, and apparently tastes like cherry candy...but I'm not mad at it. It is unexpected. Pistachio is my favorite among this box, but the poppy flower is a distant second to that and the only other flavor in the box I would eat again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to seek it out.
I hope I have this right, since I took a picture of the Point G sign and the tasty custard tarts that they sell in front of their store for less than $2.00. They are located inside the farmers market and were a welcome surprise to my Montreal trip. Best custard tarts outside of San Francisco's Chinatown by far!
Great place for Macarons!! Quality 10/10. Taste 10/10. The best part is that they are beautiful to look at!! We got $10 for 6! Definitely one of the best in Montreal!
They offer so many different flavors [21 to be exact], although not the absolute best I've ever had [but it may be because I've tried so many around the world], they are really good and definitely in the top 5. The price is extremely reasonable for authentic macarons. I got a box of 12 for $18CAD. Most places in the states with half decent macarons go for $25USD a dozen, and the famous Laudree in Paris is about $32+. So it is a great deal. When it comes to macarons, pistachio flavor is my favorite (if done correctly) and will get it at every place I try, however this place unfortunately did not quite hit the mark on that.. My husband did very much enjoy the Exotic which was a mango flavor. He said it was his favorite out of all we've tried, also the Framboise [raspberry].
We stopped into this shop front, but to actually eat the macarons, we bought them in the Jean-Talon market. The flavor range is very large. They had lots of combinations I hadn't seen often before like chai, lime-pineapple, and creme brûlée. Price wise they are the usual expensive price of macrons. However the fault for me was how soft they were. They had none of the crunch of the outer shell like they should it was soft all the way through. I'm not sure what better options are around in Montreal but if I had more time I'd want to search for them.
I purchased a box of 6 macaroons : pina colada, blueberry, passion fruit, and three others I forgot the flavor of (but you can refer to my pic I took!). The fruity ones were a bit too sweet for my but the texture was just perfect. There are samples of some provided at the counter to give you an idea of how good it is. I definitely which I got the chocolate based flavors instead as they were much tastier. This is perfect for a small gift as they but it in cute packaging. Besides macaroons, they also sell hard candy with shapes of animals. Unfortunately, I didn't end up trying but I wish I did. The employees there were very friendly! Since we were visiting from the states, it was comforting that they were willing to translate each flavor displayed for us (since everything was written in french).
Some of the BEST macarons we've had! My friend specially sought this spot out after seeing the high reviews and it did not disappoint. My suggestion would be to get a dozen and try a few of the different flavors. My favorites are the hazelnut, pistachio and coffee read more

As a Montrealer, I can confidently say that Point G is one of my favorite macaron spots in the city. The atmosphere is always cozy, and the macarons are consistently top-notch. I recently indulged in an assortment, and my favorites are the Salted Caramel, Exotic, and Lemon. Video Review will be posted on Tik Tok and Instagram soon @Foxyappetite The Salted Caramel has the perfect mix of sweet and salty, while the Exotic gives you a refreshing tropical punch. The Lemon is perfectly tangy, light, and zesty--definitely a go-to for me. The macarons here always have a perfect balance of crispness and chewiness, and the flavors are never too overwhelming. The staff is friendly, and the quality is always outstanding. If you're looking for a go-to macaron spot in Montreal, Point G is absolutely worth it. read more

The big Mont-Royal street market was happening today, so I was finally far enough north of the Metro station to take a peek in Point G. Glad I did. To say that Point G is a macaron joint is an understatement. They are a macaron gallery. Their creations are crafted with precision and care, bright colors, even gold and glittery accents. But that's just the half of it. The actual taste of these clouds of heaven is out of this world. The kind of flavor you want to chew slowly, to allow the textures to melt on your tongue and dissolve in your mouth for the ultimate existential experience. ...and I've only had two flavors lol (the baklava-inspired one and the peachy flowery one). Pacing myself with the remaining macarons in the box is gonna take some serious will power. Ahh whatever I'm gonna have one now! read more

Ahh, Point G. Simply some of the best macarons, I've ever had! Dare I say, better than Butter Avenue's? But nowhere near Pierre Hermé. The staff were friendly and patient. The macarons were light, delicate and soft to the bite. Certainly not dense, and no stale texture to be found. The ganache was rich and full of flavour! My SO and I, got a box of 24 for $36, with 21 flavours to choose from. Notable flavours include: chai latte, creme brûlée, poppy flower, salted caramel, and coffee! If you're a coffee lover, you'll be pleasantly surprised by their coffee macaron. The ganache was so rich, you could practically taste the expression beans, rather than a mild flavouring. Whether you're a local, or a tourist, check them out! read more

I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVE THIS SHOP! As someone who sells macarons and is a dessert enthusiast, these are MAGNIFICENT. They're velvety, the filling is perfect, and it's not hard, dry, or hollow. Point G's macs had me in bliss. The owner was a sweetheart too. He knows his craft and perfected it with these magic cookies. read more

Let me start by saying that I love their macarons & gelatos,not a huge fan of their prices though. The owner chose a good location for this small shop. I would give them a 3.5 star review,let me explain why. It's small,clean & well decorated however there's only 2 chairs & a small table to sit hence the "get the hell out of my shop after you've payed top dollar for my products". Should you decide to sit for a few minutes,they have no garbage cans anywhere to throw your container out (especially the gelato or popsicles) & the staff are too busy with other clients to give a crap (maybe they forgot to put them out but it's happened a few times) so now I have to walk on the street to find a trash can. The staff are kind but hardly speak any English. Listen, I get you're in the heart of the plateau but come on. End of my rant. Let's get to the macarons. They're little,delicate,delicious,everything a macaron is supposed to be. My personal favourites are the raspberry/rosemary,caramel sea salt,champagne & the foie gras. Vanilla is pretty solid too! The gelatos are not as exciting as they used to be but maybe it's because it's still spring & many of the produce used are not in season(blueberries for Charlevoix region). The raspberry is tart & refreshing,the mango is also delicious. Years ago,they used to make creative ones such as mojito & blueberry (as mentioned earlier). I might just have to be patient & brace myself until this summer. The vanilla (Madagascar) & chocolate are excellent choices to cool you down on a hot day. I still enjoy bringing macarons fans here but I'm not as excited about it as I was 5 years ago. read more

A cute little shop for when you have a sweet tooth. Great price for the quality of the macaroons. Very delicious and have 22 flavors to choose from. I tried all 22 of them and here are some of them that i really like: rasberry litchy coconut Caramel fleur de sel Vanilla Lime Pistachio Pina colada Creme brulee Maple taffy Raspberry I will go back for more of my favorite flavors. read more
Excellent macarons with so many different flavours to choose from. They are very cheap compared to macarons in Toronto. It's $28 for 20 and $10 for 6 and invidual macarons are only $1.65! I also don't think there is a tax on top of these prices. The staff were very friendly and helpful with selecting flavours. They speak English as well if that's an issue. The inside of the store is really nicely decorated. They have teady-packed macaron boxes to go as well as other packaged goods. I think they also have gelato. In terms of their flavours, I haven't tried too many but the poppy, pistachio, cranberry, champagne, and lime-basil were amazing! I haven't had any flavours I did not like. read more

Christmas and New Year was around the corner so an unavoidable stroll through Jean-Talon market was due. That's when I spotted perfectly round little macarons that reminded me how holidays are always filled with colors. Champagne, crème brûlée, and lavender-blueberry? The urge was impossible to resist so I did myself a favor by getting about one of each. With parental-like care, the kaleidoscopic array of macarons survived the trip home without a single crack on their delicate shell. Why with so much care? Because each one is so visually pleasing that you don't want to see an imperfection. Almost like the same way you don't want to receive a candy cane with a snapped curve. The macarons carry a slightly chewy center that make you picture the matching flavor when you break the fragile shell with your teeth. They were so good and playful. Even the flavors that I ordinarily wouldn't go for were loved. Each bite was an experience that gathered all of your senses into a pleasant burst of flavor. So what are you waiting for? Go grab a box and share it with others - or be smart and keep it all for yourself. read more

I went to one and only Point G macaron boutique in Montreal. This place and Maison du Macaron are very close to each other. * Note to people living in the GTA: if you want to try them, Point G macarons are imported from Quebec to a store called Sweets by Marlene in the Heartland Towncentre, Mississauga. The store is very small and cute. The girls working there were snotty, but hey, it's Montreal. They have 22 flavours to choose from, I tried 6 of them and they were all fresh. Moist centre with a crisp shell, with very distinct flavours. Flavours I had were: lavender-blueberry, poppy flower, cassis-blackcurrant, creme brulee, lime-basil, and roasted pistachio. read more
Dear Point G, Your macarons get me from point A to point B. Small, delicious, and bold.. flavorful explosion in your mouth. It's exactly what I needed. This is definitely a pretty legit macaron place in Montreal. Please go if you live local or if you happen to be walking up and down Mont Royal like my friends and me. Anyway, your macarons were so bright and beautiful that I simply had no choice but purchase a box of six for $9 CAD. I got: poppy flower, espresso coffee, pistachio, lavender-blueberry, blackcurrant, and caramel. And I LOVED each and every them! You tease me with your light shell and chewy centers. Ahh, I wish I can go back and get more plus your assortment of apéritif flavors such as foie gras and balsamic vinegar. Please send some over to the US of A? Cheers, Your Macaron Crush read more
I can't remember how I discovered macarons, but ever since I've discovered them I've always hunted for them no matter where I go (especially if its a French place I'm going). I had previously tried La Maison du Macaron in Montréal and then found out about Point G. In addition to having a larger variety of flavours than Maison du Macaron, they also serve gelatos and ice cream. I also saw Foie Gras Glâcé? However, I think that variety and better packaging (from the standpoint of preservation are the pros that Point G have over MdM. Their macarons are too "soft" for my liking. The cookie isn't flaky on the outside, and they are also smaller than the ones at MdM. Honourable mentions of flavours: Balsamic Vinegar Lime Basil Lavender Blueberry Chocolate Sesame I would recommend coming here over MdM ONLY if you're bringing some home for gifts because the packaging is more durable. read more
This place is a MUST VISIT for cheap, tasty and fresh macarons and more. I love the assortment of flavors and have tried some I haven't seen before such as crème brûlée! There are 22 flavors in total (wow!) ranging from lavender-blueberry to Madagascar vanilla. This small shop, with unfortunately limited seating, offers many sweets that could also be packed to go. read more

These macarons are the best I've had my entire life. Swear on me mum's back. They're light on the outsides, but dense and satisfying in the middle. Salted caramel is something Point G does best. I also like poppy flower, red velvet, and litchee. Poppy flower is fragrant, but unlike most flowery macarons doesn't taste like plant perfume. The red velvet has a center filling that tastes like cream cheese (I'm not sure if it is) and reminds me of a tiny little red velvet cake. The last, litchee, tastes like the original fruit. The interior decoration is bright, upbeat, casual, and pleasing to the eye. I feel like I'm getting a treat just by walking into the store. The staff are very kind and welcoming (not to mention pretty!). Lastly, the macarons are much cheaper here than the are in the US or Europe! Be sure to stop by if you're in the Plateau Mont-Royal neighborhood. read more

Point G has the best macarons ever ! Super nice staff and place. The decor is so cute ! These bad boys are not only colourful and cute but they are also relatively inexpensive. They are 1,65$ each, 10$ for a box of 6, 28$(1,40$ each) for a box of 20 and 52$(1,30$ each) for a box of 40. The macarons are beautifully decorated. The texture is crunchy outside and soft inside but doesn't break apart when you bite in them. I kept them in my fridge for a little over a week and they were still good. There is surely in the store a flavour for everyone. They have over 20 regular flavours and some other ones that come and go. My personal favorites are salted caramel, roasted pistachios, maple taffy, gingerbread, coconut and orange blossom. Some flavours were really interesting but not one was bad. I definitely recommend Point G ! read more
Before going to Montreal, I looked into bakeries that sell macarons and this place had one of the best reviews. I got 10 macarons for $15 incl tax, which is reasonable comparing to a lot of other places that sell macarons at $2+/each. Their staff was really friendly and helped me choose the flavours. For macaron flavours, I would recommend Salted Caramel, Creme Brulee, and Blackcurrant! read more

The good: the best macaron I have tasted. Whenever I go to Montreal or have someone dropping by the city, I would ask to get these. Totally worth the trip. I love how they have unusual flavours, but they still end up tasting awesome!! The flavours I tried were fois gras, Madagascar, champagne, cidre, and canneberge (all of which I recommend). The bad: it's in Montreal, please come to Toronto. The ugly: ... It's in Montreal read more
In a recent trip to Montreal, we stopped by Jean Talon open air market and saw the new Point G station within the market. We purchased 10 for $15. Later we traveled to the plateau to the store and bought more because they are amazing. Here we got 20 for $28. I recommend the fleur de sel et caramel and red velvet, although you can't go wrong with any of them. The store in the plateau is easily accessible off the mont royal metro stop and short few blocks walk. The gluten free mark is a nice addition for those battling celiacs. à plus! read more
