Having eaten at Chez Boulay the previous night , I was delighted to find out that they have a bakery Chez Boulay Comptoir Boreal .

This is a small bakery meets mini market store that sells baked goods, desserts & pastries (some of which are gluten free) & frozen items . Many products to go through & purchase .

However I was here for the breakfast pastries . The display case was full of treats such as muffins , fruit brioche , swirled praline filled pastry , pinwheel croissants with cranberries , croissants filled with praline & many more .

I got the croissant roll swirl pinwheel topped with sweet cranberries & a local spice called melilot (which essentially is a version of clover ). Unbelievable flavor . The quality of the butter mixed with the cranberry & the sweet almost honey flavored clover of the melilot was incredible.

I also purchased their version of of stuffed croissant with caramelized praline topped with pumpkin seeds . The croissant was flaky on the outside & moist delicious praline on the inside . A real treat & something different from the classic almond stuffed croissant .

Both were truly memorable & outstanding quality products .

My only disappointment & observation was that for a high quality & higher end produce store they did not have a barista or make their own coffee , instead it is a self service coffee machine .

Other than this observation, the bakery store is amazing

The pastries are really good. Would not recommend the coffee as it's machine coffee & not very good.

Exceptional high quality items to choose from including baked & pastry items. Convenient capaccino/coffee machine allows you to choose your beverage of choice & choose the ingredient options yourself. Always a friendly greeting & customer service.
