On every morning of our recent four-day visit to Montreal, we stopped here for breakfast. The wide range of croissants and other baked goods, both sweet and savory, made for some tough decisions, but the selections were unfailingly fresh and delicious. The staff was quick, kind, and attentive. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. If you need an excuse to stay in or visit NDG, here you have it! Highly recommended!

We were not disappointed: got the nutella croissant, raspberry croissant, chocolatine, ham croissant, and two lattes, and all of it was so damned good!

Mama J was such a delight to speak to over the phone and in person. I called her before once I arrived so we could socially distance while she transferred the cake to me. She even helped me get my cake into my bag! Mama J had said she would look forward to cooking my cake with love and care. And I felt it. All of the textures and flavors matched together so well, yet I could also eat a layer by itself and still be satisfied. From top to bottom are the pecan crumble, sweet potato, cheesecake, and more pecan crumble Simply put, it's the best cheesecake I've ever had. I highly recommend Mama J if you're looking for a professional baker who infuses her warmth and essence into her cakes. I can't wait for my next Mama J cake!

Other than that, service was flawless, I'll be back!

Everyone in the company was taking photos and commenting on how good it looked which made me look great in front of the boss! It was pricier than some of the other quotes we got but honestly it was worth it by both beauty and quantity. I would definitely suggest this company.

The adorable macarons really caught our eye and were not disappointed with the flavors offered including Nutella, Oreo, strawberry cheesecake, matcha, and more. I so far have enjoyed the crème brûlée and Oreo and can't wait to the others when I get home. We also loved the mango shaved ice and found the small sizes to be perfect for single servings, especially for people who doesn't usually finish our sweets. The mango pieces were soft and fresh, made to taste sweeter with a drizzle of condensed milk. Small pieces of mochi contributed to elevating the texture even more. Overall, we had a wonderful time each visit and could see ourselves being able to relax and spend hours there. Staff were kind and tried their best to work as fast as they could. Lots of photos of their dogs are posted at the front and served as the reason for their name. Would love to come again the next time I'm here!

And the view of Saint Joseph's Oratory adds something special to the experience. Great food, warm service, and a setting that makes you want to linger a little longer.

Best of all, the counter folks are courteous, helpful. and friendly. Easy to get to from other parts of the city. The 104 and 90 bus both stop at Upper Lachine and Melrose.

If you are in the mood for a sandwich at lunch or anytime, they make every sandwich fresh to order, even slicing the meats and cheeses at assembly time, with whatever condiments you wish, on their "baked in store" soft or crunchy buns or breads. Their sweets counter would rival any of the Italian bakeries in the city. Mima and her staff are friendly and always accommodating. Don't get "shut-out", order your flat red pizza in advance for weekend pickup they sell out early, that also goes for their breads and other baked products.
