It’s a bit hard to find this bakery, since Google Maps puts it on Peel St, but its main entry is actually on Young St (a smaller street parallel to Peel St).
The croissant was fluffy and chewy, with lots of puff pastry layers that detached easily, and most importantly, it was buttery. Something I haven’t been used to find in the US. The only problem was a noticeable oven aftertaste.
We also tried the pear and chocolate brioche, which was of the same quality. Fluffy, chewy and buttery.
The cappuccino was fine but not great though.

Have returned, worth trying.
I really wanted to like this place - it was my daily driver out of necessity/convenience, but inconsistent quality coffee and nothing too special with their pastries make it hard to recommend.
Pet peeve is being given coffee too hot to drink, or lattes without foam, which both happened within the 2 week stay in MTL. Try your luck.
Large range of breads and pastries. Par - nothing to come here for. Cool ambiance for brunch and drinks.
Doesn't take AMEX.

Pastries were delightful! Jambon sandwich was great heated up. Cappuccino was good. The pistachio tart was delicious - would recommend. Menu is only in French

I had the iced latte with a cannelé (canelé, or however you spell it). The iced latte is more on the milky side than coffee. So if you’re wanting a more dark flavour, adding another shot might be better.
For the canelé, it’s just WOW. I haven’t seen many places that bake good canelés here in Montreal, but this place knows how to bake!

A nice cafe/patisserie in Griffintown. The entrance is not on the main street. We discovered through a furniture store that is connected to the cafe. A nice place for a quick coffee/bite after shopping.

The large window gives the feeling of being outside, the avocado toast is amazing, and cappuccinos are served in glass glasses.
They open early everyday and sell a variety of bread and pastry.
La Bête à Pain (Griffintown) is my favourite weekend morning café, where I go for hours of reading and writing.

Excellent service and amazing sandwiches! Their soup of the day was great too. Highly recommend and will come back 😊

Really nice pastries. Went for breakfast at 8:30 (told they don't start serving their actual breakfast menu at 9), enjoyed our coffees until breakfast would be served. Their lattes/cappuccino were served in tall glasses which didn't really retain heat very well. The food was good though, I had the croissant with smoked salmon and creme fraiche. Bit noisy ambience. Nice and clean washrooms.
