One of the last stops we made before heading to the airport was here at La Cave a Manger. We were…read moretaking one last stroll around Vieux-Montréal and looking for a little snack - so I whipped out my phone and La Cave came up as being close by. The reviews looked great, so we made our way over for some bakes. I assume La Cave gets its name from the fact that you are kinda entering a cave. The bakery is located in a basement surrounded in stone both on the exterior and interior. The bakery isn't large, but it's arranged in a way that foot traffic flows well. They have a good variety of bakes, though we were there relatively late in the day so some had already run out. Despite that, we had several to choose from. We decided to go with the ham and cheese croissant and one of their stuffed croissants. The former was pretty standard - there's wasn't a lot of ham but the flavor was there. The latter was one of those viral circular croissants that have been popular on social media; they had three flavors and I went with the lemon meringue. It was pretty good - it had a good ratio of stuffing to pastry and the lemon curd had a bright flavor. Service as good, the team was eager to help and super efficient. Overall, I had a good experience at La Cave a Manger - there are definitely some good bakes here and I wouldn't hesitate to return to try more of their menu.

The new locations have no soul, and are more like automated vending machines. They have destroyed their loyal customer base, have no more proper coffee bars and nothing looks or tastes even remotely the same. In a world where they could have spent profits to improve their e-commerce and build a proper functioning website, they decided to turn each location into a "24/7" Canadian Amazon Fresh. Terribly disappointing.

Went there for brunch. I don't really know if they're well known for their brunch menu, but... The…read morefood was OK. The eggs were a little too lemony, although the salmon underneath the eggs, were really good and a nice touch. The service was really good, everyone was super nice there.

The Bakery/tea room is located near the Marché de Maisonneuve in a lively sector, the decor is very cute and if unlike me you're a fan of pink then you'll enjoy it even more. They have a huge variety of pastries, I hesitated a good three minutes as they all looked so delicious, I finally opted for a grapefruit pastry, the texture was so soft and tasty! My kids opted for a cream puff pastry filled with chocolate as well as croissants. The staff was very friendly and even engaged in conversations with my kids (I do have to admit that they're the talkative kind lol). If you're in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve go and have one of their desserts you won't regret it!

There is street parking available if you are driving. They speak both English and French. The barista was very knowledgeable and kind. We tried the lavender latte (seasonal drink), hot matcha latte (always available on their menu), iced matcha lemonade (seasonal drink), and a croissant. The lavender latte was delicious and if it didnt already have two shots of espresso, I would have gotten another one. Both the matcha latte and matcha lemonade were made with premium ceremonial grade matcha. We watched them prepare the matcha with a whisk, and they definitely didn't cheap out on the matcha. The croissant was a reasonable price (~$3) and it was flaky and airy. The overall vibe is 10/10 with both seating indoor and outdoor. They have four individual seats available with side tables, four tables for groups, and a long co-working table for up to 10 people. Spacious with a good amount of seating!
