Just look at the pics of chocolatine from 2022 and 2023....very different from the pic I took today. Today I got a chocolatine (pain au chocolat) and the dough was bread-like. The dough used to be more buttery and flaky before, this time, it was like eating a bread roll filled with minimal chocolate filling. The staff was always nice and helpful but the quality of the pastry was a bit of a let down.

Others on the other hand, do. Choose between window stools or the shareable high-top tables+stools in the middle of the shop to sit a bit and enjoy your coffee or pastry. Service was outstanding and price was reasonable. The energy isn't rushed but do be mindful that this location is small. The sourdough Baguette we got was anything but 'chain' and had that perfect crispness and soft inside that said, 'homemade'. My Matcha Latte was good and hubs liked his decaf Cap. My Chocolate Croissant had a wonderful glob of dark chocolate goodness in the center and wished I had another. Their kouign-amann was heavy; considering what I've read about its light interior, this one fell short. Both the baguette and my chocolate croissant were the all-around winners out of the few other things we picked up- but will keep these guys in mind for these two items and hot beverages.

We had two cappuccinos, a croissant and a muffin. At the pick up station there are several options for you to add to the coffee (free of charge) such as powder mocha, cinnamon, sugar amongst others. The cappuccino was delicious and foamy, the croissant was exquisite and the muffin was definitely my favorite. However, towards finishing the muffin, we were able to really taste the baking powder in it, if feels like it didn't fully dissolve with the rest of the ingredients. That's the only reason why I am giving it 4 coffee beans instead of the 5 (in our coffee passport) The bathroom was very clean and we loved the decor in it, the cafe itself is very cosy and inviting, there are enough tables and chairs to sit and enjoy your morning/afternoon coffee and snack with a friend, a lover, a family member or even your favorite book (or laptop) The service was excellent, the barista was patient, friendly and attentive. 10/10 would recommend and certainly look forward to coming back!

They have multiple locations, but seem to be well respected by locals for their croissants and pastries.

Little seating room, but if you want to eat inside it's definitely possible. Always a must stop on our trips to Montréal.

The hubs and I stopped by while in the area, as we had heard that they're known for their buttery croissants. We had ordered one, and I was a little sad that they had run out of the cheese ones already T___T The regular croissant was okay, but it wasn't as buttery as it was described (I actually found the shape of it pretty funny) :P The hubs enjoyed it, as he stated that it was slightly different, not too sweet, and was flaky enough. It may have been slightly better if it was right out of the oven or warmed up, as I thought it was more on the dry end. Staff was super friendly, and there's limited seating inside. There is also a little water cooler with complimentary water. +complimentary water from the cooler +friendly staff

Hof Kelsen bakery / café plays to the building's mid-century office/industrial vibe. My experience…read morewas mostly, but will need to return. First, intended to treat myself to their Chocolate Babka Pain Perdu I read about, although also interested in their Borscht being a big fan of all types of borschts (red, white and green). [Full disclosure - Grew up with and been a lifelong devotee of echt old school New York City Kosher bakery Chocolate Babkas!] To my disappointment, that Babka item must have been a special and they didn't sell Babka slices. A full Babka cost $24 Canadian, too big and too much to spend on that occasion. Their Borscht, apparently a vegetarian red borscht recipe made in house, only becomes available at 11 AM, and I was too early. Then I turned to my friendly, cheery person behind the counter and ordered both a fresh savory and a fresh sweet pastry, plus a Matcha Oat Latte. As I paid on the terminal, she moved a small black device in my direction and served me my bakery items. Taking what I understood as a pager to my counter seat, I awaited my drink. About 5 minutes later, a sour rude woman came to me shouting in French. That device was not a pager like I've received at other places in Montreal, but a calculator. When I apologized for my misunderstanding, she huffed and puffed as she walked away. The friendly woman was now behind the café prep section, so I walked over to her to collect my Matcha Oat Latte and apologized. She indicated that that happens. When I directed another apology to the unfriendly staff person, she again rudely stated in English that they don't have pagers. While appreciating that some people have "bad hair days," that lady should never be put in front of customers if/when she interacts with customers like that... especially if it was clearly an unintentional inadvertent miscommunication!!! That being said, my attendant's superfriendliness along with my enjoyable items made up for that. Started with my flavorful Feuilleté aux épinards et à la ricotta (a.k.a. Spinach Ricotta Puff) along with my delicious Latte. Then, finished my Amandine au chocolat, a.k.a. Almond and Chocolate Croissant). So, would definitely return on a future trip to Montréal. Would recommend Hof Kelsten, but keep in mid they don't use pagers!

We arrived around 1 pm and many items were already sold out, but luckily they still had the smaller babka available. They offer two sizes (large and small) and also serve coffee and lattes. Finding the entrance wasn't the easiest since the bakery's name isn't clearly displayed outside, but you can spot it by the street number; I took a photo of the exterior to help others. As for the service, I didn't find the staff particularly friendly. They seemed more focused on their regulars, and when I asked a couple of questions, the responses felt a bit cold. That said, the babka itself was delicious and definitely worth trying.
