La Bête à Pain - Old Montréal, Quebec

A truly don’t understand how this is anything more than the most overrated bakery in the city. I give 2 starts instead of 1 because the service was excellent Pastries were bland and TINY Coffee tastes like mud Prices are 50% higher than the average in the city It’s in Griffintown which is the ... most overrated part of the city anyway … terribly dissappointed Read more

Had a croissant and a cappuccino. Later returned for another coffee and apple juice. Croissant was very good and freshly made. Coffee just fine. Service was done mostly by quite young staff who were not experienced or/and much trained. They seemed to have a large selection of fresly baked breads ... and other bakery products, which I didn’t try. Funky location at the back street, together with a furniture store. Read more

Hidden in a small alley, filled with buttery smell, good selection of bread. PASTRY: • Brioche: very soft and buttery, very fresh • Cream choux: it's so big that at first I thought that it's a brioche. Very good quality, the filling cream is amazing, I believe it's cream cheese. • Croissant: A bit ... small but tasty and flaky . DRINKS: • Milk oloong tea: best oolong tea I ever tried. The aroma was insanely soothing, sweet and milky. SERVICE: communication might not be too smooth if you don't speak French INSIDE: plenty of space and tables Read more

During our family visit to Montreal, we really enjoyed our visit to La Bête à Pain (Griffintown). It was our first time to Montreal and we visited this bakery for breakfast based on google reviews and we were really impressed by everything in there. The first and foremost thing I wanted to ... highlight is the staff who were amazing, welcoming and very tentative to our needs and gave us a lot of recommendations for our breakfast. A big thank you 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 When it comes to food, it was super delicious, well seasoned and presented perfectly. It is definitely a highly recommended place if you will be around in Montréal. I will definitely be back again and again. Read more

Amazing spot for a quick breakfast bite. Their selection of pastries and bread is excellent, and the taste and freshness are worth a trip to this place. Service was good, too. Lastly, their coffee also tasted fresh and well-made.
