These you can get a slice of. It is very warm as it's cut fresh and oh my gosh so good. The crust and bottom is crunchy and a bit sticky and sweet, the middle very flaky. So wonderful. I also had the almond croissant and apple turnover both are very good as well. The almond croissant is very tasty. It's more flat and pressed than the big poofy ones. As though it is screaming "I'm just a small ordinary croissant". :) Definitely stop by if you're in the Mont Royal area/ plateau area.

The woman behind the counter was absolutely lovely, taking care to make sure our order was exactly right. The café au lait was exceptional. In my experience, many pastry shops serve only mediocre coffee, so this was a wonderful surprise. The pastries were everything you'd hope for--buttery, crisp on the outside, and soft and tender inside. We couldn't have been happier! The warm, cozy ambiance made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Boulangerie Guillaume caught my eye unexpectedly. I did not have this place on my list of bakeries…read moreto try while in Montreal, but as I was walking in the area I noticed many people holding their distinctive yellow bags. I was intrigued, and since I can always go for some carbs I decided to head in and check this place out. Unlike most bakeries I visited, Boulangerie Guillaume has a much more modern look, and is larger than a standard bakery. Walking in, I was immediately greeted by stairs which led up to the main production area. All of the bakes were arranged on the back-wall perimeter of the space separated from the pedestrians by a glass wall. The color scheme was mostly black to contrast the bright yellow of the bags and signage. The arrangement of the bakes, combined with the color scheme and modern aesthetics, resulted in a stunning, visually striking presentation. I wasn't too hungry, but I can always go for some sweets and their date square looked good. I went with that, along with a cappuccino. The square was delicious - the dates were high quality, and the crust underneath was moist while maintaining its integrity. The cappuccino was also good, a great complement to the bake. Service was efficient, and overall I had a great experience at Boulangerie Guillaume. I definitely want to return to explore more of their menu - I noticed they had some savory items so perhaps for some lunch. Definitely one of the best bakeries I visited in Montreal.

One had a subtle lemon flavor, and the cream puff (choux) was filled with a whole hazelnut inside--a nice surprise that I loved. What stood out was that they weren't overly sweet, which made them even more enjoyable. Prices were reasonable at around $7 each, and they do accept credit cards. Service was a bit on the slow side since there was only one person working, but overall it was fine.

That said, I think the sandwich could use a little refinement. The butter came through quite salty, while the pickled vegetables added enough moisture to make the bread a bit soggy, which ended up muting some of the other flavors. With a better balance of ingredients and texture, this could be a much stronger bánh mì. Overall, generous portions and some promising flavors - La Cave is worth a stop.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Italian bakery. Four locations in…read moreMontreal. I tried the eclair. The caramel flavour of the icing was good, but the choux pastry and custard were a bit dry. The Long Version: So I had never heard of Rossetti before. They didn't exist when I was living in Montreal (the 2000s) and after I left, my husband (who was still my boyfriend at the beginning) and I would return often (at least a few times a year until 2019) and I'm pretty sure they weren't around then. We took a few years hiatus from visiting Montreal and then when we returned in 2024, boom, Rossetti had 4 different locations in the downtown core! What's their origin story? I have no idea. Their website has no "About Us" section. All I know is they opened sometime between 2020 and 2024, lol. I tried their caramel eclair ($5.50). The caramel icing was really tasty, but I found the choux pastry and the custard filling a bit dry. They have cannoli, amaretti, financiers, croissants and tarts. They also have sandwiches and pizza. I was disappointed that they didn't have sfogliatella, my favourite Italian pastry. Oh, they also have coffees and teas. The interior is nice with seating to dine in. Service was neutral. I may return to try another item. Maybe at one of their other locations. Review #16 (2025)

While in Miami last year, my husband, mother-in-law and I became big fans of the Rosetta on lower Collins Ave and then once they opened the one by Lincoln Center in NYC, we began to visit that one often since it's walking distance. After climbing to the Kondiaronk Belvedere on Mont Royal, we decided we needed sustenance on our way back down and we spied Rosetti as we were walking back to our hotel. Since it looked very similar to Rosetta, we decided to stop in and grab a bite. The sandwiches and pastries were on full display and we knew we made a good choice. I had a Pizza Margherita which was huge...I could have shared it. I also had a caramel tart for a sweet treat afterwards. Others in the group had sandwiches and other sweets which they all enjoyed. There are some stools at a counter downstairs and a little more seating upstairs with a few low tables along with some high tops and counters. The ladies who worked there were very nice. We enjoyed our food and think it's a great place for a quick bite that's a bit elevated from traditional fast food.
