First time visiting this place, but it's not new. In fact, it's been in the neighborhood for 5-6…read moreyears! Might be cause the storefront is not the most obvious as the bakery is quite small. The focal point of the bakery is of course, the counter. There is a paper ticket system for service on busier days. When I went in, it was quiet so ticket optional. We were greeted right away by friendly staff. When I asked for recommendations, Marie took me on a visual and descriptive tour highlighting some of their specialty products. I went for the seasonal maple roll dusted with icing sugar, topped with white chocolate chips and a maple crust. Also took a slice of pear almond tart. They were both $4.50 each. The maple roll was densely packed and so much more than a snack. It's really bready so you could have it for breakfast. Slightly sweet and covered in a light glaze. The tart was light tasting and the pastry was full of buttery goodness. Texture is a little bit interesting because it's a cold tart, the juice from the pears soak into the almond paste and make it a little bit cold and slightly mushy. Some people might not like that but I found it ok. Service is friendly and attentive. Pastries are good but a bit expensive.

The service got better since the last time I'm came here. I do find the price a bit high.. I get that kosher places have a bit more over head.

As a New Yorker, I am particular about bagels, and I understood that Montreal Bagels are a different style. I was told by my family in the area that this place was very good, and so my travelling companion and I went in search of a good example of the form. We were not disappointed. For other New Yorkers happening to be in the area, Montreal bagels are thinner and sweeter than ours. For locals stumbling upon my review, if you are not getting your bagels from these guys, rethink your life choices.

We also took a dozen of fresh hot bagels. The bagels are made on the spot in a wood oven. The bagels were still hot out of the oven and they're very tasty and full of flavors.

This location in Laval in the northern suburbs of Montreal is a mostly industrial/commercial area.

Holy crappola... they were unbelievably good! The portions were not thick and ginormous like some of the ones I've had back home. They were the perfect size, not too thick and still soft and chewy inside with a toasted exterior. My entire family wanted sesame bagels with cream cheese, except mine had additional lox and capers. We enjoyed them so much we are planning to return for more tomorrow morning!

There were few people in line at 11:30am on a Sunday. Perhaps they were all at either St-Viateur or Fairmount or at one of the many summertime events happening, but I won't complain. The service was very prompt and the staff were polite. I ordered the saumon fumé on a sesame bagel and ate it there. This hit the spot. The bagel was nice and dense, the hole was large (like the traditional Montreal style bagel), and it wasn't too heavy on the cream cheese. Definitely worth the trip to Griffintown to get one of these!

Located on the Saint-Anne strip, this place is absolutely adorable! It's a small shop with bubble teas, and the freshest donuts. The owner is very sweet and gives great service. I thought it was really cool that she bakes the donuts and fills them to order if you choose a filled donut, she had custard, blueberry, lemon, raspberry and strawberry as an option. I tried the raspberry and blueberry filled donuts and both were really tasty. Besides the glazed donuts, I also tried the apple fritter and cinnamon twirl and everything was delicious. Given the current situation, there is a limit to how many people can enter at a time and the cash is set up with a plexiglass barrier.

I've visited a few times, and the service is always friendly, and it is never very busy. They have a good selection of donuts and if you buy 6 or more it is tax free, which is nice. The cool thing is that they fill the donuts fresh, so you can choose what filling you want, and they have quite a variety...my friend once had an odd combination of a chocolate covered donut filled with lemon curd. Weird, but at least you have the freedom to be creative. The donuts are good but not mindblowing. What I usually go for is when I have a bubbletea craving...it's nice to have a bubbletea place right here in ste anne (especially since boaboa cafe has left). They have several flavours and you can choose tapioca, popping boba, or coconut jelly. I had honeydew with coconut jelly this time. They don't use fresh milk, it's definitely creamer (which I'm not a huge fan of, but I'm also lactose intolerant haha). Also, there's quite a bit of ice (i forgot to ask them to reduce the ice) and it is pretty sweet (you can't adjust the sweetness, as far as I know). But overall it was tasty! And bonus, they use biodegradable cups!
