I heard about this little place and was very happy with it. It's got a selection of sandwiches and…read moresoups. I had the sausage sandwich with the soup of the day, which was a spicy barley soup. Both were delicious! The sandwich was warm and perfectly toasted, with just the right amount of cheese, and not greasy at all. The soup was flavourful and fresh tasting. The coffee (espresso) was okay. I asked for a macchiato and it's not exactly the kind of coffee you want to have without sugar. Personally I don't like sugar in my coffee--if it's good quality and properly made, it should be naturally sweet. Either the beans they use were stale and over- roasted, or the barista did not pull the espresso properly. That's just a small critique. Great lunch spot, will go again!

I've lived here all 45 years of my life, eaten at all the delicious creameries the city has to offer, but Cremerie Confiserie Le Gourmandin (2308 Rue Ontario Est Montréal QC H2K 1W1) is the best the city has to offer!

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!

The place is small and more of a take away place - you'll find lots of pastries and sweet treats but I didn't notice if they had anything else because I was fixated on the chocolate raspberry muffin. It was really quite good and the Chai latté that I ordered was perfect. Service: Very friendly! Price point: Less than $6.

Chocolats Favoris is one of the new "it" spots. I say that because technically they've been around…read moresince 1979 and have 26 locations in Canada (even one in Victoria!). I've never heard of CF until Em. She, being the dessert lover that she is, told me I needed to try it. Seems like there's a soft serve chocolate dip battle going on between La Diperie and Chocolats Favoris. There's five sizes to choose from (baby, mini, small, medium and large) and four soft serve flavours (vanilla, chocolate, orange and strawberry). The chocolate one you can't dip but the other three are fine. There were a dozen chocolate dip flavours. Let the indecisiveness begin. It's nice that you can sample the dip flavours before you commit. There's also the éclatée option ($1.49 - $1.99 extra) where they add extra toppings. If soft serve doesn't tickle your fancy, they have gelato and sorbet as well as fancy artisanal chocolates. You can even buy their fondues to go in small tin cans. - Strawberry with melting hazelnut dip ($4.59 small) - nice that they have other flavours besides the typical vanilla. The melting hazelnut (milk chocolate) was just what I wanted. I found their chocolate dippy be much stronger and thicker than La Diperie's. No ice cream managed to squeeze through the chocolate dip fortress. - Orange with crunchy hazelnut ($4.59) - this was much darker and richer hazelnut flavour compared to mine. - Vanilla with cookie dough dip ($4.59 small) - I didn't try but A liked it. Although, he still prefers his go to combo of vanilla with cookies and cream. Solid dessert chain (that reminds me of Juliat & Chocolat).
