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 was already a couple people in line, we were 3rd. As we got closer to the 10AM opening, a line of about a dozen people formed. Doors opened at 10:05 AM, they were still not done setting up pastries in the display. Only 5 people were allowed entrance at a time due to limited space. First impression is that it looks very elegant, high end, beautiful little cakes and pastries that are almost too pretty to eat. We ordered 4 different cakes: the black forrest cherry, yuzu tart, a chocolate/caramel mousse, and the rapsberry/pistachio cake, along with 2 of their stuffed croissants. Most cakes were around $9 a pop and I believe the croissants were close to $5 each. Considering the small size, these are not cheap. Service wise - there were only 2 employees, they were slow to take the orders and prepare the boxes, which needed to be set up and taped. This should have been done ahead of time as assemblings boxes for all customers on the spot really slowed down the process. I have seen reviews of people waiting upwards of an hour, I can understand why. It takes an average of 5-10 mins per customer, since people always have questions on the products, then take their time choosing and paying. Flavor wise - our favorite was the yuzu tart and raspberry/pistachio cake. The black forrest cherry cake was lacking flavor and seemed kind of wet in the middle. Their cakes are made with real fruit or purees so if you don't eat them right away they tend to get soggy. The croissants were filled with cream inside, they were a bit too heavy and sweet for my liking. Other than aesthetics, I am not sure what is so special about this place - I am not a big cake or pastry connoisseur but I can't say I was blown away. They make a nice gift since they are beautiful and I can tell they are fresh and well made but they cakes were not delicious and not worth the price or wait times.

I've been 4 times now, and they have the best viennoiseries (croissants) I've ever tasted. I've tried their chocolatines, pistachio croissants, chocolate-hazelnut croissants, raspberry croissants, and their seasonal strawberry rhubarb filled croissant. My favorite was definitely the pistachio, which is filled with a light pistachio cream (the raspberry was also a light cream, while the chocolate hazelnut was a ganache, and the strawberry rhubarb--my second favorite because of the fresh tartness--was a smooth compote). The pastry itself is crisp and flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. It is and lightly sweet, with a nice flavor of yeast and butter. I've also tried a few of their mini entremets (the pistachio raspberry and the lemon yuzu). They were absolutely beautiful and delicious, but I would still say that they're outshone by the viennoiseries. This is one of the places in Montreal that everyone (lifelong Montrealers, newcomers, and tourists alike) should try.

These two pastries both tasted like they've been refrigerated over night and had a slight fridge taste.

Their actual croissants are good though! Well laminated and super buttery.

Video Review will be posted on Tik Tok and Instagram soon @Foxyappetite In depth review: I had the chance to visit Le P'tit Atelier, Boulangerie & Pâtisserie in Montreal for a late birthday treat with a friend, and it was such a lovely experience. The vibe of the place is cozy, and the pastries are clearly crafted with care. I started with a macchiato, which was smooth and well-balanced--nothing too strong, but just right for a little caffeine boost. The tiramisu, though, was definitely the star of the show. It was so creamy and perfectly balanced, with the right mix of sweetness and coffee flavor. It was honestly one of the best I've had. The passion fruit tartlet was also a winner--refreshing and tangy, with a nice buttery crust. It was light but flavorful, though I did wish there was just a bit more filling. I ended with the vanilla baba au rhum, which was super moist, but I found the flavor a bit too mild. I expected the rum to pop a little more, but the texture was spot-on.

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).
