If you know Première Moisson... you know it's never calm especially at Atwater Market. Went in for a quick grab 2 croissants + a baguette In and out, but just a heads up: there are like 3 different places to pay depending on what you take, so it can feel a bit chaotic the first time. I usually hit the Verdun one, but this location is just as solid. Prices are normal (honestly think their baguettes are even cheaper than Metro). And the croissants... easily some of my favourites. Always buttery, always flaky. read more

This bakery in the Marche Atwater is one of the many from this local chain in the city. They are consistently one of the better bakeries in Montreal. I love their cakes, pastries, breads and pies. The prices are very reasonable and they take credit cards. They also have a little market section where you can get jams, jellies, dry goods, etc. The staff is super friendly and very patient with people who are undecided on what to get. read more

Located at the Atwater Market, Première Moisson is a chain of bakeries that's pretty much a staple in the area. We did visit one on our last trip to Montreal and found ourselves at another one on this trip. Première Moisson has a variety of goods from actual food like sandwiches, frozen pastries to cook at home, pre made pastries, cakes, breads and even chocolates. This place also sold teas and other items. There is a seating area on the first floor below the ordering area. For cakes, bread and pastries, you have to grab a number so pick one on the side wall and listen carefully! We grabbed a king cake as well as a couple other cakes. We've only had a chance to try the king cake and unfortunately though crisp and warm, the filling was a bit too sweet for me. Still good but sweeter than other spots. Still a good spot for a variety of items to choose from. read more

Absolutely horrible service. They have 10 customers waiting and 2 people working. The product is good but not worth the wait. Had I not preordered and paid I would have left after 15 minutes. People are leaving instead of waiting. Some places don't deserve to succeed. read more

Nice little spot at the south end of the second floor of the Atwater Market. You can have a selection of salad/dessert and entree (sandwich or quiche) and drink. On nice days you can sit outside or you can find a seat at a small table inside the establishment (of one is available). Everything is fresh and made on the premises. read more

Located on the 2nd Fl. of the Marché Atwater, Première Moisson is a bakery chain and looks like they bake 'round the clock. This is literally bread central with seriously PACKED shelves and glass counters filled with pastries and cakes. There are also pre-made+pre-wrapped sandwiches, beverage options, hot cocoa (not my favorite), etc. But whatever your diet needs are, you're bound to find it and customize it. Our other 3 Montréal visits, we've been making it a point to grab a bite after the 5+hr drive from home and stock up on a few things before heading to our hotel. Atmosphere is super chill and even during our Dec. 2019 holiday visit, it wasn't crowded at all. If you don't speak French, don't worry, employees all speak Eng. With a place that has made their mark in all things 'bread', I just can't see these folks making their bread and other baked items elsewhere. So no.... this isn't just a Bakery- Moisson is like a treasure trove. And let's face it, who doesn't love freshly-made bread or a sweet treat...especially when you can almost find under one roof? read more

We stayed nearby for a week and came here three times to get goodies. The croissant's and pastries are excellent as are the breads. Good coffee too. Would be nice of they had small jams and honey jars for your croissant. read more

Boulangerie Premiere Moisson at Marche Atwater is the first stop for our Montreal trip and it is definitely a good place to start. So glad that it is open at 7 am on a Sunday. I am hungry and ready to eat!!!!!!! The smell of baked goods just filled the air when I walked in... and that smell of sweet butter......... something worth all these calories. I am glad I didn't watch or the croissants has no nutrition labels... because I might be eating that with guilt thinking how many hours I have to spend to walk those off. Their espresso drinks are Meh... unless you prefer your drink really creamy and milky... my friend who doesn't like coffee much enjoyed her latte... I should start giving her froth milk to drink from now on. I am happy after packing in all these sugar and carbs and ready to brave the cold crisp Montreal's morning.... read more

This the probably best Boulangerie in North America. The bread selection is downright amazing and has some of the best breads that can go toe to toe with the best of the best. The desserts are excellent and reasonably priced. They have some special desserts during the holiday which are very refined. They have nice selection of sandwiches and pates etc. I usually load up on baked goods whenever I am here for my drive back. The only negative I can think of is that their coffee/espresso drink can use an improvement. One of the hidden gem is the Foie Gras torchon and I would suggest giving it a try if you like that sort of thing. Needless to say this is where I come for breakfast and dessert whenever I am in Montreal. Oh why oh why you don't have a branch in TO. read more

This location is inside the Marche Atwater or Atwater Market! I honestly believe this is the BEST croissant that I have ever eaten! I opted for the raspberry with pistachio nuts...so buttery, soft, and delicious! There were so many options for pastries that it was hard to choose "just one" for breakfast. There was a long line to purchase bread and pastries, but it moved along quickly. The woman who waited on us wrapped up our pastries in a box with a ribbon even though we were going to eat in the main area where there is seating in the market. Apparently there is a separate area/line to purchase coffee beverages-but since we did not know this-the attendant kindly went over to the other side to place our coffee order and rang it up with the pastries...typical Canadian...SUPER POLITE, FRIENDLY and KIND!! Au-Canada!!!! Merci beaucoup! I also purchased their locally made trinity of jams: Apricot Strawberry-Rhubarb and Blueberry Apparently this is one of many franchised chains in Montreal.... I loved the specially designed boules with the cat and bats for Halloween! A+ for creativity! read more

Premiere Moisson is a must visit bakery, when at Atwater market. The store is divided in several main sections or at least this is how I look at it. The bakery section is a bread haven, one of the best sourdough breads in Montreal are to be purchased here, my personal favorite is the walnuts one and please try a croissant, pretty good. Then comes the pastries section, my go to if I need to obtain a good cake for special occasion. You will find many seasonal creations, individual pastries, looking at the vitrine is a pleasure for the eye, trying some would be a celebration for your taste buds. I would strongly recommend to try at least once in your life the chocolate raspberry cake. There is the area for coffee, sandwiches, salads, delicatessen etc. Down the steps after it comes a large section with many tables if you would like to taste some of the goodies described briefly above on the spot. Among all the varieties of products Premiere Moisson offers an incredible white flour made according to traditional methods. It is more expensive then our beloved Farine Five Roses, but it is magic for your home made pastries and bread, the authenticity of the flour makes the difference. Enjoy! read more

If you go to Atwater Market on a Sunday morning, the longest line will be at Premiere Moisson. It's a well-known bakery selling breads and pastries daily. No matter what you get, the pastries and breads are soft and fresh. My loaf of bread was delicious as was the chocolate croissant. read more

Delicious pastries here... Perfect bake on croissants and danoise. The sandwich was good and lots of excellent treats to choose from here.

We arrived at Marche Atwater soon after it opened. The parking lot was pretty empty and the booths were just opening up. Boulangerie Premiere Moisson was in the process of filling the display cases with cookies, pastries, cakes, and breads. Shop owners and workers were stopping at Boulangerie Premiere Moisson to get their morning coffee and breakfast. We noticed that nearly everybody was getting a baguette with cheese. Later we learned that it was a toasted baguette with butter and Swiss Cheese. We wanted what everyone else had. There must be a reason why they were ordering it for breakfast. It did not disappoint. The simplicity and wholesome goodness of the cheese and baguette was a perfect way to start our day. M liked it so much that she sought that same delicacy at other cafes and bakeries around Montreal and declared that none were as good as what we procured from Boulangerie Premiere Moisson! I also got some macarons. They weren't in the case yet and the girl had to go downstairs to get them. They were absolutely fresh and the most splendid macarons I have ever had in my life. They were soft and almost crumbly. The flavors exploded in our mouths and squished between our eager teeth. What's even better was that these macarons were not only more wonderful but they were also less expensive than those I've enjoyed at home in Chicago! We returned to Boulangerie Premiere Moisson three times in two days because we loved it so much. Just saying. read more

Boulangerie Premiere Moisson bakeries are located throughout the city of Montreal this one happens to be at Marche Atwater and is always on my to-do-list when visiting the city. They source local products from throughout Quebec and make the finest Artisanal Breads, French Baguettes, croissants, chocolatines, viennoiseries, prepared foods, charcuterie and much more in each of their bakeries. This is a top-of-the-shelf first class operation with the freshest products possible and I doubt you'll find better croissants or baguettes anywhere including France. I am comfortable in making that statement as I have meet numerous French expats over the years living in Montreal who have said the same. Don't miss this stop when visiting Montreal's Marche Atwater or Marche Jean Talon. read more

Our breakfast go to in Montreal.........Their baked good are sublime,jams and preserves outstanding,salads and pates first rate and being attached to Marche Atwater, a fine place to fuel up before exploring every butcher, sausage maker,cheese shop,chocolatier,green grocer and prepared food vendor..... Park in the back and side lots for a free hour instead of feeding the meters in front and check out the excellent large concept SAQ across the street for all your wine and liquor needs. read more

What a lovely bakery, it has always been a favourite of mine. I am so happy to see that everyone else here thinks so, too. They open early and start the day with a hypnotizing, trailing, smell of baked goods. Their sandwiches are made fresh and taste delicious, they serve great salads too. I have never tried their actual cooked food or pâté, but people seem to enjoy it. I usually go for breakfast or brunch and then take a walk along the Lachine Canal or stroll through the Atwater Market. So much to do, so much to see, so much to taste... read more

Première Moisson - Turkey on focaccia, and salmon on flax multigrain! Yummy. - Bakeries Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Incredible pastries and bread. Always super fresh, made daily. Typically I go for the pastries but sometimes I have real food like salads and quiche or a gourmet Pear & Brie sandwich. Everything is always fresh and made to perfection. They could improve on their coffee because it often tastes burnt. But other than that it's the best pastry shop in Montreal. It's a win for birthday cakes as well. Visitors to Montreal do not miss out on this place! read more

Cheesecake is my favorite! Not too sweet and you can still taste the cheese. Go early before the good pastries are sold out. Mille feuille was sold out and it's my fAvorite :( read more

Boulangerie Premiere Moisson is a bakery chain in Montreal with fresh bread and bakery. My friend and I arrived early on a Sunday morning when most of the shops in Atwater Market were opening. It was a great way to avoid the crowds and actually get a table to enjoy our breakfast. A local noticed that we were not aware of the ticketing system and gave us his ticket number (thank you, now we're customer #34 of the day). We enjoyed our coffee, eclair, croissant, and a small pistachio cake. Of course, I enthusiastically ordered way too much food and had to take the eclair to-go. The pastry section was packed at this point but the girl at the register for the bread helped me box my eclair. It was a great start to my first morning at Montreal! The people I met in this bakery were so lovely! read more

The Parisian side of me loves having a sweet croissant and a cup of hot tea for breakfast. I know, I know, it should probably be coffee than tea to be truly Parisian, but whatever. Since Montréal is a French city, you can find truly authentic French pastries around the city. Première Moisson knocks your socks off with this incredible chocolate almond croissant! I was very eager to try this pastry because I had never tried a croissant with both chocolate and almond in one. The croissant had a sweet chocolate paste inside which immediately melted on your mouth, while the almond goodness provided another layer of taste and flavour on top. Although it looked very sweet, it actually didn't taste that sweet at all. The cheesecake tastes extremely soft on the palate, while tasting sweet yet preserving its cheese tastes. I'm not sure how they make it, but whatever it is, they're doing something magical. Depending on the location you go to, the bakery also sells food and drinks aside from their baked goods. read more

This patisserie is beautiful! The selection is wonderful and there is always a crowd. However, it can take a very long time before you are served as I have found this location to sometimes be understaffed. The pastries are amazing, but the coffee is not very good. I would not recommend it. read more

I was too early to eat at the food stalls outside and didn't have time to wait, so I stopped by this big cafe at the end of Atwater market. There were so many great looking desserts and pastries that I wanted to try but I only had room for one, a seasonal apple croissant(?) which was great and a cafe Au lait. My friend also had some sort of tomato/cheese toast which she loved. I'll definitely go back to try their cakes! Hard to base a rating on one pastry but giving it a 4 for the huge selection. read more

I have always loved pastries and Premiere Moisson is my absolute favourite boulangerie! I have been enjoying croissants, millefeuilles and other goodies here for over 12 years and it's quality is always consistent! The Atwater Market location is my favourite one, it is a large shop with plenty of selection so you will definitely find something that whets your appetite. Here are some of my tried and true goodies: Troitoir, it is a buttery flaky pastry filled with a raspberry layer. Millefeuille, is a truly as perfect as it gets Tartelette au sirop d'erable Besides the delicious array of pastries, you will find delicious, authentic Baguettes, croissants and many other kinds of bread. You can also sit down and enjoy a coffee or bite to eat before wandering around the rest of the market. If you are visiting Montreal, this is a definite must ton your list:) read more

I could eat here for breakfast every day. They have various locations, and each one I went to was very consistent. Coffee is strong and perfect with the pastries. My favorite is the almond chocolate croissant - flaky without being too buttery, filled generously with dark chocolate and marzipan. The other tarts and cakes are so pretty, too, and there are lots of other breads. The pricing is very reasonable. Definitely stock up when you go! read more

Slow service today. Use the ticket number system in numerical order please! We waited for like 10 minutes with our number and they skipped our number even after telling them we were here and showing the number. Meringue was good though. read more

I always go there for brunch. Pain de raisin and danois with strawberry is my favorite. They are not cheap but the quality is high. Sandwichs are delicious too, the bread ara made in bakery and it smells so good. I highly recommend this place! read more

Maybe the best overall bakery I have ever tried. The variety of pastries, breads, pies, etc. are amazing. We tried the napoleon, the cheese pizza, the bowtie pasta salad, strawberry rhubarb pie, and assorted pastries and they were fresh and outstanding. Coffee was medium roast and very tasty. We liked it so much that we tried another place. Please open a store in my city! read more

On week-ends you should expect to wait 15 to 30 minutes for a coffee and croissant. The time it takes to be served takes the fun out of going there. I now dread going because it's not the quiet, pleasant experience I want for my Sunday morning. It's a shame, because their fresh croissants are really great. read more

Amazing pastries!! There is plenty of seating available. You need to get a ticket and wait for your number to be called. The staff is friendly and you're going to want to order everything. Recommend the Bon Matin. read more

You really can't visit Montreal without going to Premiere Moisson. I mean you can skip it, if you want to, but you will be missing the best that Montreal has to offer. There are two things to know about PM: first, that it is. A bakery that offers freshly baked bread, pastries,coffee,and specialty items such as chocolate;also Lunch sandwiches. Second, that their philosophy is to do everything the right way, no matter what. This principle is readily apparent whenever you try the food. The pastries are consistently excellent, and the coffee and hot chocolate, and my favorite, the cafe moka, blow the pants off the coffee chains and diners. My only (minor) gripe would be the customer management system. You take a numbered ticket like they used to do at delis. There can be some delays as the various employees work around each other to prepare orders. This is really only apparent at the tourist-heavy Atwater Market and Jean-Talon Market locations. read more

I had a negative experience at the Premiere Moisson Bakery at the Atwater Market. I went to the Premiere Moisson to pick up fresh sourdough bread. As a New Yorker, I am used to attitude however this was a new level. The irony is that the bread is mediocre and similar bread can be found cheaper at Walmart, without the attitude. After ordering the bread the older woman told the younger woman to ring me up and then proceeded to say in French, he does not understand what I am saying? He thinks I will cut the bread tall? She then begins laughing while the cashier looked nervously at me. Obviously this is not the first time that the older woman has made their customers feel uncomfortable. I will not be returning to the Premiere Moisson to give them more business. read more

A delightful bakery. This place is bustling with activity and there are dozens of varieties of breads and pastries to choose from. The line moves fast, and you feel kind of spoiled for choice with so many tempting things they offer. We ordered a baguette parisienne, almond croissant, and apple dumpling (sort of an apple pastry). The baguette was nice and soft on the inside, crusty on the outside. The croissant was delicate and had just the right amount of almond filling - just terrific with a coffee. We consumed the apple pastry a couple days later and it was probably past due, so I cannot fairly pass judgement on it. The lady at the counter did not speak English but got our order just fine when we used our broken French. She took extra time to nicely wrap up the apple pastry in a tiny box. I'd definitely visit here again the next time I am in town. read more

Don't go here at all. Very disorganized and disrespectful staff. I wanted to make an order and the server asked me to take a number ticket. After she was done with another customer, she simply ignored the queue and started taking orders from all other customers WITHOUT a ticket. Then when she updated the system, she simply skipped my number. When I was leaving, the server saw me and didn't even bother to try serving me. Two points: 1. If you are not using a system, don't ask your customers to use it. 2. If you allow your staff to treat minority or any customer like this, don't open a bakery in this country. read more

My only complaint- the long lines. Otherwise, this place is perfect. A great stop on your tour de Montreal for bread to take on a bike ride along the lachine canal or a stop for breakfast with coffee and a decadent almond croissant. Really I can't think of anything better than the croissant- butter, chocolate or almond. Although if you can't do 'decadent' go for the baguette with butter or jam. Also a score, and cheap! The loaves of bread are also fabulous. Rotating stock of olive loaf, chocolate breads, or other flavours. read more
