Hof Kelsten - Montreal, Quebec

Amazing pastries for lunch! So buttery and flaky - heaven ❤️

Loved stopping in here. Was excited to see Borscht on the menu and it did NOT disappoint. Being from Ukrainian descent, I’ve eaten a fair amount of borscht, however, I’ve never tried a version with what seemed like pickled beets. It was phenomenal with the pickled beets - Hof’s borscht is ... thick and has a tinge of vinegar and was served with sour cream on top (so they know what they’re doing). Will be back for the borscht for sure. We also tried the cheese danish which was awesome, the homemade iced tea (which my husband describes as tasting like jelly beans), and bought a loaf of challah to bring home (which also paired well with the soup!). The coffee was unfortunately underwhelming for me, a bit too acidic for my personal preference. The interior of the space is a bit industrial yet cozy, it was nice to pass some time on a rainy day with a coffee and soup. Will absolutely be back. Read more

Hands down, one of the best croissants in all of Montreal. The bonus was the incredibly smooth Late to wash it down with. It's the simple things that show that you are the best.

The best bakery in Montreal, hands down. I came across this bakery in several travel magazines, and I fully understand the hype. Easily the best chocolate croissants in the city. Their espresso is amazing as well.

I enjoyed the coffee so much :) It’s been a while since I got a latte with a little bit of acidity taste. The milk foam on top of the latte was perfect and the art👌The cafe smelled of bread. I tried baguette, croissant and a few pastries were good. I ... expected the croissant a bit more crunchy and chewy. But the general experience was good with nice staffs Read more
