Honestly, I've never come to this location before, but I enjoyed it. There was a lineup after me when I got there because it was the after work rush I guess I got three Ooh La La's and then I left. Location is cute. It's right in the middle of the market, so you can't miss it I would go back. read more

Première Moisson - When your friends craving something sweet and asked for it in a cup - Bakeries Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

We stopped here for a quick snack and the choices of baked goods and prepared foods were amazing. I was looking for a small strawberry fruit tart but they were all sold out...they only had the large ones. I ended up getting a small blueberry tart and it was delicious. The blueberries tasted fresh and sweet. They take credit cards or cash. read more

Lobster sandwich ! I am lucky enough to have end of season lobster sandwich . It mixed with lobster, tomatoes and other fresh ingredients that it does not cover the lobster taste. The salad is good. Lucky enough I went past 1pm and it was less busy. It is clean. read more

Première Moisson - Use Google translate to check the menu - Bakeries Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

What we had: - butter croissant $2.25 - ham & cheese croissant $8.5 - creme brulee $5.5 - Raspberry, cranberry and pistachio brioche $3.95 Taste: 4/5 It was a good croissant - flaky and buttery. We also had one paired with ham and cheese as a warm and savoury sandwich. Definitely a winter brekky you don't want to miss out on. The brioche was really satisfying too. The creme brûlée tho would probably taste better if the sugar layer was torched on the spot when we ordered. Vibe: 4/5 I loved the Christmas vibe. And I just couldn't take my eyes off the pastry displays once I got inside the bakery. It made me crave everything. Service: 4/5 The staff was friendly and helpful. They patiently helped out with our order even though we were a bit indecisive (it was so hard to pick just a few items out of so many good ones). read more

This is an absolutely must try if you're in the area (or if you're at the Jean talon market). There may be a long line so be prepared to wait, it is SO worth it. I ordered a bunch of pastries to try, but definitely the strawberry pastry was my favorite because of how fresh it was! Nothing was too sweet and everything had perfect flaky layers. I need to come back to try more savory items, and purchase more breads! read more

Someone please whisk me away back to Premiere Moisson. I don't know if it's the lack of being able to travel lately, or if I just spend my days day dreaming of places that aren't where I live? I simply feel for this market and specifically this bakery. It reminds me of my first trip to Paris and the beautiful patisseries one pops into while strolling along cobbled streets. Anyways, back to Premiere Moisson. Can I just say yum?! I ordered the tomato bocconcini sandwich, which was beautiful and juicy with eggplant and basil! Also ordered the salmon tartine, and a lemon meringue éclair. The salmon on baguette was simply everything. Everything was light, fresh and divine. I have this noted as one of my favorite stops in Montreal. Can't wait to go back! read more

Première Moisson - a sandwich and french fries on a plate - Bakeries Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Visiting Montreal from Dallas, Texas with friends. If I could give this place ZERO stars I would. The people working behind the counter were rude and pretty much racist!! We stood in line to order coffee and pastries, behind several other people (YT) which were attended by them immediately and as soon as I being Mexican-American got to the counter they all scattered were having conversations with each other and we stood at the counter for a good 5 minutes with no one acknowledging us whatsoever, so we decided to walk away and not spend money. I almost went off but decided not to. Oh well.. read more

Aaaaaaamazing patisserie! The break here was spectacular. We also shared a brioche bun with pistachio and cranberries that was so good. The line moved fast and was worth every second. If you're near by, get something, it's so worth it. read more

The scent of the fresh baked bread and pastries could already be smelled before you opened the door to the warm and inviting shop. The pastries were placed perfectly on white porcelain pedestals and they seemed to beckon: "Eat me, you know you want to." The place in itself had a glow, and if you closed your eyes and inhaled deeply, you could feel yourself basking in it's warmth. This is the moment that you realize that despite all the atrocities that occur in life; this is worth living for. This very moment when you are surrounded by nothing but beautiful, and delicious breads, pastries, and the hum of people also experiencing the same euphoria. Take a moment to let it all soak in before having that first bite, in my case it was just a plain croissant and a creamy, but strong cappuccino. This is something you don't want to eat in a hurry, you want to take your time and savor it as much as possible. Tasting the layers of the pillowy dough that's still warm from the oven, the sweet and saltiness from the butter all melding together to make your taste buds rejoice in glory. Oh my Premiere Moisson! You'd be perfect if your signage weren't strictly only in French and it hadn't taken us 10 minutes to figure out the ordering system! Je t'aime Premiere Moisson! read more

Bread is like crack and this place is my dealer. Wonderful baked goods, tasty cappuccino, and delish croissants. The breads looked amazing. I wanted to buy a loaf, a bucket of butter, and go to town on it. Located adjacent to the Jean Talon Market it's a nice place to enjoy some pastries in the air conditioning after shopping for fresh fruits and veggies. Pretty easy to order. There are two lines set up One line is to buy pastries. The other to get drinks, salads, sandwiches, and other things on the menu. Moved pretty quickly and counter staff were efficient. We grabbed a few freshly baked croissants with some cappuccino's and took a table to enjoy in scrumptious splendor. Mmmmm.....buttery goodness. read more

I noticed this bakery since I was at Jean Talon market. The moment I stepped in, I was in pastry heaven! This bakery is huge and they have a wide range of stuff. I picked up some cakes and croissants to go. Everything tasted great and fresh. The prices are reasonable. I love this bakery! read more

This location is right outside of the Jean Talon Market and very busy. Before we arrived to Montreal, my mission was to visit as many French bakeries as possible. This was the 1st one we visited when we got to Montreal which was a pretty good start to our French bakery mission. There are 2 lines for this particular bakery. One side is to buy pastries and bread and the other line is where you grab a number and order grab and go or prepared items such as sandwiches, pates, salads, or beverages and etc. They had a $2 special for a croissant and coffee as well as $2 for their pain du jour which is a great deal. We ordered: Croissant & coffee deal - croissant was crispy and buttery. Don't know about the quality of the coffee b/c hubby drank this. Ham, cheese & dijon sandwich - we had it pressed which crisp up the bread and melted the cheese nicely. Flavors were balanced and seasoned well. Cornichons - needed a something tangy to eat along w/ our sandwich Duck liver mousse pate - delicious and smooth. I love a creamy pate and this one was seasoned perfectly Baguette - took it togo to eat w/ the pate. It was crispy and good Pain aux raisin - it was okay, I've had better Almond croissant - the edges were crispy and delicious, but the inside of this croissant was a little dense and I didn't enjoy the almond paste which I typically do I visited several other Premiere Moisson bakeries and they didn't seem to have the same quality and options as this location. I would return to this bakery, but only to this location. read more

A beautiful building and a beautiful start to a Jean Talon Market visit. I live nearby and am thankful every morning for the smells that waft out of here. They have added a cute blue little gluten free section recently, and also have been spotlighting one-off creations made by their team. You can get in the bread line if you're just grabbing a loaf or croissant or chausson aux pomme or muffin (closes eyes, drools for a sec, resumes...) Or grab a number and go to the other side for sandwiches, prepared meals, and any of the cakes or more glorious pastries. There is a prettyish, sunny, covered terrasse in the back if you're looking for a spot to sit and eat. Hot tip, if you're just grabbing a baguette you might not need to wait in line at all, check the table between the bread counter and the covered terrasse (to your left if you're facing the counters.) There are usually stacks of baguette there which you can grab and just head on over to the cash like a champ. read more

Première Moisson - Little gluten free section! - Bakeries Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

La Boulangerie Premiere Moisson is always a go-to place for me when I'm in Montréal. The first time I ever visited one was at the Atwater Market (the more touristy farmer's market). Among the slew of foodie souvenirs that I had to tick off, croissants were the request that my mom made. I don't know that BPM has THE best Almond Croissants, but they were pretty tasty! Big bonus points for the generosity of almond filling. This is what a REAL Almond Croissant should be like. Not like some of the Toronto bakeries which just sprinkle on some icing sugar, throw in a few slices of blanched almonds on top and have the audacity to sell it as an Almond Croissant - shameful, just shameful! Other than your typical bread and pastries, they also sell various pâtés, jams, and chocolates. If you are ever pressed for time and need to buy foodie souvenirs, BPM is a one-stop shop. I also purchased a cheddar and onion fougasse, plain croissants and maple-filled croissants. Haven't tried any of these yet, but I can't wait! read more

We took home a baguette and three fantastic portions of the charcuterie, plus homemade cornichons for $19,20. BTW, the Today show was visiting from NYC when I was there. I love this place. read more

If you stop by, you absolutely must have the pain au chocolat. It was amazing, in fact it was one of the best I've had. Really everything we tried was delicious, from the bread to the croissants to the café au lait. The desserts looked amazing and will be on the menu the next time I stop by. It was quite busy but they have a good system and the wait wasn't too bad. You don't want to miss it! read more

Première Moisson - Café au lait with cinnamon - Bakeries Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I am so glad we wandered into this place!!! We were browsing the Jean Talon market and wandered over for breakfast, and it was the best decision. You can tell this place gets busy. Grab a number when you walk in and as you're waiting browse at the huge selection of sandwiches and pastries. I had a ham and cheese sandwich that was fantastic and the croissant, so amazing. It was flaky, flavorful and the right balance of butter. It was so good that we returned on our way home and got a half dozen for the car ride home. Try their cheese croissant too, so good. My husband really liked their chocolate croissant. We brought home a French baguette to eat over the weekend and it stayed fairly fresh (I wrapped it in plastic wrap). read more

This place is a casual place with sandwiches and a lot of bakery options. One of the few bakeries/dessert places that caught my attention. There was one staff who spoke English which I found helpful. Plenty of seating spaces, WiFi, windows, friendly services and most importantly, delicious sweets! This place is in a great location. It's steps away from the market where you can get fresh fruits, veggies, other groceries and food. I highly recommend this place! read more

After doing a couple of laps around the market our empty stomachs decided it was time for a bite. Thankfully, we had this bakery in our sights. They have some great organic breads and paninis for a reasonable price. And the soup was a warm welcome. However, everything was served on paper plates/bowls, which I assumed would lead to a compost bin. Non! They went straight into the trash, along with their fifth star. read more

Amazing bakery near the Jean Talon market. Fantastic pastries and bread, and the desserts looked divine too. Favourites were the Olive Baguettine and the Chocolate Almond Croissant. The baguettine was fluffy, appropriately dense, and a delightful crunchy crust. It went perfectly well with the rabbit terrine and the cheese we picked up from the neighbouring fromagerie. The croissant was crispy and flaky, with the perfect layer of almond filling and chocolate. So delicious, wish I was having one right now! Tip, take a number before you order or else you'll be waiting forever at the counter! read more

Everything we purchased was excellent- honey wheat bread, rolls, tart, and an eclair. I've been to my fair share of bakeries and I make my own bread which requires a trip to the bear and wine store for supplies you can't get in the grocery store. My mother has been baking and making desserts for 40 plus years and she is DAMN good at it so I don't my bakeries lightly. This is a good one! A must if you are already heading to Jean Talon Market. read more

Delicious baked goods, fair prices. The croissant is very flaky me butter, tasted like the one we had in Paris.

Everyone behind the counter was very prompt, helpful, and patient with us as we agonized over which pates and breads to get. One of them took time to ask us what flavors and textures we like, in order to make the best suggestions. The a la carte pates are very nicely priced: for about 225g, it was only $8. We liked some more than others (the foie gras mousse best), but all were great. read more

Located right next to the Marche Jean-Talon, Premiere Moisson is a yummy smelling bakery. The Premiere Moisson is a popular all-natural bakery - with quite a few locations throughout Quebec, using only natural, non-chemically treated and non-bleached flour. They have everything from chocolate bread, baguettes, to fresh fruit cakes and tarts. Deliciously made from fresh everyday. Great variety of delicious fresh bakery items. I'm extremely impressed by the service, the line is pretty long but their efficiency is amazing! We got to munch on our chocolate bread without much of a wait. read more

There is a crazy awesome selection of the most beautiful bread and pastries here. My friend and I bought a fruit danish, almond croissant, one olive and one multigrain baguette, two cups of coffee and it only came out to $16! The quality of the food here is really outstanding - you can see and taste that everything is made with care and skillful technique. The croissants were flaky, the bread's texture was chewy and tender all at once, and the fruits and fillings tasted like real food (not oversweetened or anything). We also couldn't resist perusing their jam and charcuterie section and ended up buying some nice canadian maple bacon and locally made preserves. This is a great place to shop for little foodie souvenirs for your friends or yourself. The only sad part is having to leave! read more

First rate French baked goods and bread. Melt-in-your-mouth croissants. Beautiful tarts, sandwiches, coffee, jams, pates. Yummmmm.

The bakery is nice but they don't have a lot of choices. I wanted to buy a cake in a descent size and they didn't have it. Its a little expensive but good quality products. read more

I went to Premiere Moisson at Jean Talon market twice during my stay in Montreal and was very impressed by the freshness of their breads no matter what time of the day it was. I also recommend their pate de foies aux fines herbes. Breakfasts in Montreal can be quite a treat if you shop at PM. read more

Oh la la! I love the display of fresh baked breads in this place. Its almost overwhelming. The viennoiseries were fresh and excellent and rivaled those found in France. Premiere Moisson is a definite must if you are a lover of French breads and pastries. I went to 3 of their stores and was pleased with all of them, but the one at Jean Talon has the best bread display. If you live in New England, its worth the drive and cheaper than going to France! read more

I heart freshly baked bread, but here it is taken to another level with the PERFECT baguette. I got an olive loaf and a parmesan boule. Unfortunately I was concerned with crossing the border with these loaves that we scarfed the bread down while driving south. It still tasted amazing! read more

I had the worst experience here due to an extremely rude employee with dark hair and blue glasses. We were visiting from out of the province, and at around 10am we decided to buy some things from Jean Talon Market, and stopped by at this place. As soon as I started ordering in English, she started cutting me off by saying things such as, "I can't understand you," and "I can't hear you" even though I was speaking perfectly clearly. This was rude, but would have been fine if the next thing had not happened. As she was picking up a croissant I ordered, it fell onto the floor. She picked it up as if nothing had happened, and placed it into my bag with the other pastries I'd ordered. When I asked her if she had dropped it on the floor, she retorted back "it's fine, it was protected by paper". This was a complete lie, because the sides of the croissant had been fully exposed, and were now dirty. She proceeded to make me pay for my order, and as I was upset and at a lack for words, I did so and was about to leave. However, when my partner heard what had happened, he went back to the front to talk to another employee and explain the situation. She looked disgusted when she heard what the first employee had done, and threw the dirty croissant into the trash and replaced it with a new one. The most unbelievable part about all this was the rude employee came back, picked up the croissant out of the trash, and started ranting on about us in rapid French while my partner was standing right in front of her, defending herself for something that was 100% her fault to begin with. This has been the worst customer service I've ever experienced to date. This employee was clearly unprofessional, made me feel disrespected and discriminated against, and was clearly breaking health and safety regulations by attempting to sell dirty bread to us. I've emailed the Premiere Moisson franchise about this matter, but they haven't gotten back to me as of yet, which makes me doubtful they ever will. Yes, the bread was good, and the other employees seemed friendly and professional, but because of the horrible experience I had with this one employee, I will never be coming back to this establishment again. read more

Great place. Yummy sandwiches. But they have a terrible system. You're expected to look at the food counter, make a decision, place your order, wait for your order, and pay for your order all in the same space. The major problem is that there are another 20 people standing around doing the same thing. It's not very productive and often times frustrating. Despite that I go a lot, so make of that what you will. read more

Love this place. Great sandwiches, fresh bread, nice staff who know their stuff. I have no complaints other than the fact that they seem to run out of baguette more often than not. read more

I had a mixed experience of this place the first time I ate at their Atwater Marche location. The servers were rude and pushy. This time around My friends and I went to the Jean Talon location and had the complete opposite experience. The servers were nice and patient and not bitchy at all! Great coffee (Jean Talon location has espresso) and their sugar tart was an eye opener. Never had I had a richer almond croissant. read more
