I admit that when I am on holidays, especially in Quebec, that I try to find every boulangerie or…read morepatisserie I can. They offer a selection of breads, pastries, and ice cream. I believe they have some other items (like meats or pâté) in a cooler section but I can't remember for sure. The bread I tried was very hearty and dense (which is something I like). The pastry I tried was nice as well. My one complaint is that they don't indicate what breads they have with signs so it isn't as efficient as it could be for ordering. Also, as is normal for bakeries, if you want a good selection, it pays to arrive earlier in the day. On our first visit, there was pretty much nothing on the shelf to get. On the second time (earlier in the day) the selection was better. As is the norm for many smaller shops in the Gaspesie, they don't accept credit cards but will take debit.

From the owner: La boulangerie-pâtisserie La Mie Véritable a été fondée par les frères Valade et leur mère, Doria…read moreGrenier, en 1997. Pionnière du développement agro-alimentaire en Gaspésie, La Mie Véritable est rapidement devenue un incontournable, synonyme de plaisir et de qualité. Forts de quelques stages en boulangerie, mais surtout armés d'une grande volonté entrepreneuriale et d'un amour pour la bonne nourriture Sébastien, Louis-Franck et Doria ont élaboré des recettes devenues des classiques reconnus et recherchés. La Mie Véritable offre à l'année des produits artisanaux de boulangerie et de pâtisserie de qualité supérieure dans un endroit toujours aussi convivial que chaleureux.

En 2011, la boulangerie inaugure son café, La Mie d'en haut et propose ainsi soupes, sandwichs et cafés. Malgré la réalité économique précaire de la région, l'entreprise n'a cessé de

For a patisserie, their more amazing offerings are savoury. Definite highlights were the bacon egg…read morecheese sandwich (bread was soft and chewy, egg was properly firm, bacon was thick) and ham and cheese croissant (flaky and tender, good size ham). The sweet stuff was just ok. Would have liked both the chocolate croissant and the peach chocolate tart to be more chocolatey. My wife had the paris brest and almond croissant and thought they were average. My dark hot chocolate was a bit too milky. Overall though, a great spot for breakfast in Maria. Heard their lunches are also good too, so stop by if you're in the area.

This boulangerie is a hidden gem. They get 4.5 stars…read more Broccoli Cauliflower salad was pretty good. The vegetables were firm & the dressing was decently zesty. Bostock was brioche with almonds. It was good: moist with a rich, good almond flavour. Triple chocolate cookie was good too: crisp with a rich crumb. Surprisingly for a boulangerie in a small town, they had bahn mi & tempeh.

This cafe / bakery / sandwich shop has quite a variety of items. Having stopped in for lunch, I…read morepicked up a grilled sandwich, latte, and chocolate croissant. The grilled steak sandwich was very good as was the latte. Unfortunately, despite it being a bakery, the chocolate croissant tasted like a day old one which was unfortunate. There is indoor and outdoor seating and a small parking lot next to the shop. Prices are pretty reasonable for what you get (sandwich wise), but the lattes were a bit expensive considering the size (paid for large which is $4 but it seemed more like a medium). All in all though I would recommend it and would go back if I was ever in the area.
