Came into here amazed by the beautiful options provided. Presentation was top notch for the cakes, eclairs, tiramisu's, and cream puffs. To balance your sweet tooth included savory options like sandwiches, cheeses, and spreads. They have an efficiently run system where you wait in a single line and can go through all the stations with a staff member. Would come again! read more

This is the place for any types of breads and French Pastries. They always have something special on their menus for breads. Their French Pastries are freshly made and delicious. This place on Monk land can accommodate so many people. I had their maple syrup Mille Feuille and it was delicious. My stomach was full and yes even being a chain, I liked it and enjoyed the vibes. At the moment they have specials for Easter especially with their chocolates Easter eggs. In addition, their breads are all an art. I'd definitely recommend it to all as the quality of food is perfect. -:) read more

6 of us came here for breakfast. The atmosphere: There are a handful of tables here where you can sit after you order the food from the counter. Food: Cajun quac Chicken sandwich (2/5 stars) chicken was really rubbery would not recommend. Croissant sandwich with ham and cheese was very good. (5/5 stars) Would recommend getting it toasted. Croissant with cheese was good. (4/5 stars) They had a big selection of sweets as well which we did not try. I was mildly dissapointed they did not have more savory types of croissants. Service: Not all the staff speaks English but they tried and we had no problems communicating. read more

I am hooked on the croissants from Boulangerie Premiere Moisson. I have been to three of their locations, and they all have not disappointed me. The croissants are fresh, very tasty, and delicious. The plain croissants are buttery and have lovely flakiness to it. The almond croissants are not like all others. It has almond paste baked into the center, and it almost tastes like a soft, flaky cake. It was delicious. There are street metered parking which makes it very easy to access by car. They take both cash and credit card. They speak the universal language of pointing my finger at their croissants. But they also speak French and English in case you can't use your pointing finger. I would come back again. If you are visiting Montreal, this chain of boulangerie is a must visit. Try the croissants and let me know. If you know other boulangeries, please also let me know. read more

Première Moisson is a staple in the city when it comes to bread and pastries. There's a dozen alone on the island so I guess they're considered a chain but damn, they're consistency is impressive. We decided to grab a box of pastries after a hot yoga session (treat yo self!). - Pastries - we ordered a couple types of croissants for everyone to try along with a peach turnover pastry. I had half of the cheese croissant (it had cheese inside for extra cheesiness) and half of the almond croissant ($3.25); flaky and filling is divine. The 100% butter croissant ($1.65) was devoured by my dad so safe to say he liked it. We also tried a strawberry rhubarb pie ($9.25) that we saved for New Year's eve. I found the filling a little too sweet for my taste buds but a few others liked it. read more

Première Moisson - Pastries - Bakeries Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Premier Moisson is the go-to bakery/cafe in the neighbourhood. They are open late and have a good collection of breads (including one with no ingredients that contain gluten). They also have a few gluten-free pastries. The breads are pretty good and the pastries are enjoyable - though not the best in town. Nevertheless, I'll pick them over any nonlocal chain coffee place anytime. This is quite a spacious bakery and there's ample space to sit with some outlets for those of us accompanied by our laptops! They have a good variety of lunch items as well: different soups, salads and sandwiches etc. There was a cozy beautiful bakery right in front of them that sadly moved recently. So this is my new fav. bakery/cafe close to villa-maria metro station :) read more

After a early morning drive yesterday on a Sunday morning, my wife and I decided to buy a baguette and a few croissants. What a mistake!!! The croissants were pretty average, on par with the big box's croissants, but a lot more expensive. The baguette was an unmitigated disaster. What we got was old and stale. Squeezing it gave a mushy feeling with zero crunch. When I tried to tear off a piece to try, it gave a rubbery resistance and I really had to fight my baguette to get a piece. Unfortunately I succeeded in tearing off a piece, and the taste and mouth feel was really bad. As I was in the car I could not spit it out and had to swallow it. This was my first and last time here. I usually go the the bakery further west on Monkland, but as I drove by I noticed a free parking spot, so decided to give it a try. Also there no lineup of people waiting to get in. That should have been a huge red flag, as the bakery further down on Monkland had a like lineup. Maybe my stale and sad baguette was due to someone new and experienced employee who didn't know any better. I don't know, but I'm not interested in tempting faith. read more

I have come here twice now but have only tried the chocolate croissant and regular croissant. Both are so buttery and delicious, probably the best croissants iv ever had. I would like to come back to try their food and more of their desserts, the bread also looks heavenly and I noticed that a lot of people ordered the baguettes. read more

cute layout here, didnt get anything though cause I was too full. Wanted to get some jam for home but it was 236mL so couldnt bring on the plane to carry on :( it looked fresh and yummy tho! Next time... read more

This is one of my favorite Premiere Moisson locations. Its pretty and spacious inside with a lot of seating (They even have a really cute outdoor patio to sit out on as well). They have a nice selection of pastries as well as bread, and other prepared foods (sandwiches, salads etc) and it is always extremely fresh ! The staff is always friendly and efficient even when the location is packed they always take the time to serve you properly without rushing and to get your order right. Some of my favorites here are their apricot danish, their croissant (regular, almond or even better is their cheese croissant!) and just about any of their focaccia breads. They also have a low sugar options as well which is nice. I will continue to come back here again and again, I have never been disappointed! read more

Girouard and Monkland. The coffee and food were great but the entryway and service counters were way too complicated and confusing! Is this a new way of ordering coffee for Anglophones where you have to run a maze? read more

This place is the best in upper NDG for bread that I have found. I get the Carre Ble Entier (whole wheat loaf) about three times a week, and bagettes and ciabatta's on occasion. The pastrys are good but a little pricey for my budget, not to say they aren't worth it i just preferr to spend my money on huge abouts of bread. The only thing that irritates me is in the weekends when they operate the number system. Although it is meant to make things easier, it creates havoc. Please god put the number wheel closer too, or even outside the door with a clearer sign. Then put the dam thing away on weekdays becasue people don't know when to take tickets. As you can tell I care greatly about efficient numbering service systems. read more

Came here since the beginning of time. This place is nice! You can get a variety of cakes and breads. You can also sit inside for a cup of coffee. Like most places, you can make an order online. However, you cannot change the ingredients. As I found the cheesecake to be very sweet, I requested for less sugar but they couldn't do it as one employee told me they were pre-made in large batches. read more

Their traditional baguette is good among the bread chains. Very crisp crust, wheat-y aroma, it smells freshly baked. Price is reasonable and open until fairly late. I'm not a fan of their new coated baguettes though. The crust is hard like rock (risk of mouth injury if you don't chew carefully). They're salty and lack the aroma of the traditional baguette. read more

Love everything they have here. However the staff are extremely unfriendly and don't try to speak English.

Very bad experience with their delivery service. We ordered for delivery on December 24. The delivery came on time, but one item was missing. This can happen. No problem so far. I can understand that mistakes happen, as long as the issue can be resolved afterward. So I called the number on the invoice. The phone system gave me a long list of confusing options. It was not really clear which one to choose. I went with one option but did not get to talk to a person. All I could do was to leave my number and a message. So far it's still okay. But then nobody ever called me back. Also, my wife sent them an email. No reply. I waited patiently until December 28. Then I tried to call again. Left a message again. No reply. Finally, on December 29, my wife managed to get through, and at last, I could talk to someone. I told the woman on the phone that we had a delivery on the 24th, and some item was missing. The person demanded why I am calling only five days later. I explained that I had called the same day, but had not received any reply. Then the person interrogated me. Wanted to know the exact day and time when I called. At first, I made a mistake and accidentally gave the wrong date. She accused me of lying and said that anybody could claim that something was missing. Said she had to investigate my claim. Told me that I must have chosen the wrong option when I called. So, if I chose the wrong option on the phone, then I am wondering what was wrong with the email that my wife had sent. I have had a lot of deliveries recently. This experience here was by far the worst I ever had. Not just bad service, but rude treatment as if I was a crook trying to cheat them. Totally unprofessional! I really don't understand how anyone can run a business like this. read more

The cakes and breads are always great and the atmosphere used to be warm and cozy but since they renovated..... what can i say ? whoever suggested the changes must work for the competition. We couldn't wait to get out of there. We felt like we were eating in a hospital cafeteria.Tear it up and bring back the old decor or you'll loose your in house customers. I for one will pass on the coffee and go for take out only. read more

Came here to try out some sandwiches and salad. They were a little better than average. I would have given it 3.5 stars because for a bakery it had a lot of variety of breads and pastries. The negatives were: dirty bathrooms, tables were not clean, and less than average value. For the price one would expect better sandwiches. Perhaps sandwiches and salads are not their specialty. I shall try their breads next time. read more
