TL;DR/The Short Version:
Awesome bakery in Laval. Pastries are huge, easily twice the size of anywhere else, and only $3.25, and they were delicious.
The Long Version:
My husband and I stopped by Pâtisserie Jouri on the way home to Ottawa to pick up some pastries for my parents. It was one of two bakeries on our way back and was definitely the best bang for our buck.
I got 3 pastries. They were $3.25 each and were gigantic. They were more than twice the size of pastries at other places. I got a raspberry almond croissant, an almond croissant and a pear and custard Danish.
The great thing about getting my parents food is that they always offer to share it with us, so getting them food is like getting ourselves food. Haha.
I had a small taste of each pastry and they were delicious. Very fresh and flakey.
The pear and custard Danish was my favourite, but the others were good too. The croissants had a good amount of ground almond filling. There wasn't too much raspberry filling in the raspberry one, but that's ok because it kept it from being too sweet.
Service was efficient.
The decor is pretty with faux leather benches and funky light fixtures. Really nice place for a dessert date.
There is free parking in front of the bakery, but it's just one row of parking and the street, which is very busy is behind you/in front of the bakery. So it's a bit of a pain to maneuver, especially if adjacent spots are occupied.
