Delicious croissants & pastries. The fougasse were a meal of their own! Good coffee too!

All pastries & croissants look amazing, had a cappuccino to enjoy with my butter croissant, highly recommend it. Service was fast & efficient/friendly. It is expensive, but your also buying great croissants. Came out of town had to try them again, bring a canvas bag if your taking out a paper bag is $3.30!

What ticked me off about this place was its overall "fast food" vibe. The quality of the pastries was okay-nothing special, but acceptable. However, they served the food on a tray without a plate, knife, or fork, & none were available in-house. Other reviewers suggested this café was authentically Parisian, & I respectfully disagree. I thought it was a less clean version of Panera Bread.

Spacious coffee shop, comfortable, mostly clean, mochaccino was so-so & reminded me of the stuff I got long ago from a coin operated coffee machine. It may have been instant coffee. Sandwich was 80% fluffy bread, looked better than it tasted. Salads, soups, pastries all looked good. Kind of pricey. Was able to charge my phone here.

The most delicious pastries you have ever tasted. The pastry was so flaky, custard layer delicious & fresh raspberries & blue berries on top. A party in my mouth haha. We sat on the patio & enjoyed the scenery as well.

The pastries were good & the service personnel are earnest & working hard to process the throngs of people waiting. Overall this was a nice place with one exception: they have two signs, one says "bread order" the other says "sandwich delivery". There are two cash registers between the two signs. I queued up with others to order a breakfast sandwich at the middle register & when I got to the front after about 10 minutes of waiting, the server seemed confused & said you order sandwiches at the "sandwich delivery" area. She also indicated that I should not have stood behind others at the register in the middle. I went over to the sandwich'delivery' area & waited a couple minutes & then was told at 1055 that they can't make breakfast sandwiches because the cut off was 11. Why not just make the big sign say'sandwich order' like the'bread order' sign? It simply looks like where you'd go to pick up an order not place one...

The plain croissants were ok, but the "fresh"raspeberries on a pastry my child bought were full of black mold. She recognized this after she took her first bite. When my wife tried to exchange it/make the counter staff aware, they said the pastry underneath was fine & that we should just eat around the berries!!! Luckily they changed their tune after we asked them to consult someone else behind the counter. The place itself desperately needs an update/reno (eg washroom was filthy, which is never a good sign for a restaurant). Overall disappointed- we were last here 14 years ago when they won "best croissant in QC". We had shared several memorable Paillard pastries. Visiting QC again this year we had been excited to return :-(. Unfortunately we can no longer recommend it.

It was so friendly & the food was so amazing. There was a wide variety of choice of pastries & drinks which felt so fresh from the morning. Really loves the service which was friendly & took their time to give the clients an amazing experience. Eating their again if I come back in Québec for sure

Best looking pastries at the front of the case for visuals, worst ones served from the back of it after you order. Both baked goods we got (raspberry pastry & chocolate eclair) were both sickly sweet, & this is coming from an American palate.
