I had heard so much about this place so I thought I would come give it a try. First of all it's small and dark. Second the selection was limited. I ordered two items and coffee and was THEN told that they don't accept US cards and only cash. So I went and got cash and came back. They have a seating area upstairs which is airy and gets natural light but my goodness it was gross, a mess. It... plus

The pastries are excellent - flaky, crispy, and chewy in all the right places. Yum!! The flavor of lemon pastries were unmistaken, strong, and delicious. You can tell they take great care to the flavors and presentation. It was difficult to find such a stellar place in this neighborhood.

They don't accept credit card, only debit cards (and I recall, domestic only). When we found out that we... plus

Pros:
Great pastries and coffees. Traditional. The staff is super friendly and professional. Delicious. There is a lounge / workspace upstairs where people meet and laptop. A wonderful and elegant woman named Ashley works behind the counter and she took my breath away. Thanks for that.

Cons:
Cash only or Canada debit. No other credit cards accepted. If you have USD they will accept it at 1:1... plus

I had one of the best croissants in the city!!!

I was in Montreal for a weekend and I tried to visit as many bakeries as I could. I am so glad Mamie Clafoutis was on my list of bakeries to visit.

TRIED:
Pistachio croissant -The pistachio croissant caught my attention since I do not see this often. I love pistachios and this was delicious. I opened up the croissant and realized there is a lot... plus

This place is so legit for café/ dessert/ pastries that I would go out of my way to visit it again.

There were so many choices of pastries that it took me forever to choose. We finally settled and splurged on three pastries: the sponge cake, the oh mon dieu and some kind of maple pastry.

Sponge cake: SO FLUFFY, so moist, so simple but so tasty! Hands down one of the best things on the menu.
... plus

If you're looking for something baked, something sweet, something comforting... you got to try a baked good from mamie Clafoutis. Their almond croissants are crispy, the perfect sweetness and the perfect amount of filling. I've tried their vegan baked goods as well, the chocolate cinnamon muffin/cake. A little sweet for my liking, but for a vegan option it's a chocolatey indulgence.
Next on my... plus

My boyfriend brought me here for breakfast on our last day in Montreal. He splurged on a few desserts and big cups of coffee, and it was a delicious delight!

They were great pastries - light, fluffy, and perfectly tasty, and not processed or over-produced.

We sat upstairs, where they had plenty of seating that overlooked the bakery.

Cozy and lovely!

Very quick stop in this morning - service was friendly, food was delicious. Short on time so we got it to go. Note they take cash or debit card only. We had a chocolatine, an oh mon dieu, and a plain croissant. We also had a cafe au lait, cafe noir, and hot chocolate (how do you say that? Boit de chocolat chaud???) -- all top quality. Would definitely go back and I highly recommend it. Their... plus

Simply remarkable, especially the pistachio croissants - not too sweet, moist, flakey, divine! Service is also wonderful. Worth a visit and just a 10 minute walk from Schwartz's if you're not too full

Love everything I've taken at this place. The quiche are delicious and really well made and the pistachio croissant is to die for! Go here!

Best pastry bakery I've ever to. Everything I bought was excellent. Wish I had more time, only in town for 3 days.... plus

Cash/Canadian debit only pastries are very good. Coffee was okay. Highly recommend. I really liked the pistachio and chocolate croissant. They have seatings upstairs.

You usually get a bread bakery OR a patisserie. It's not easy to pull off both, but Mamie Clafoutis certainly does! This was our last stop in Montreal. We went in with the intention to buy a few pastries for our family back home, but ended up walking out with WAY more than we intended - our eyes were bigger than our stomachs!
Olive Bread: pretty, and a nice option for dinner, where people can... plus

While I really really liked this place, 1 star gets docked for the difficulty in payment - pretty much cash only (or canadian debit).

The Pisatchio Croissants were wonderful, as was the smoked salmon sandwich. They made a really good breakfast.

The process in grabbing the ticket was also confusing as a first time customer. The ticket dispenser isn't where the sign was, it was above it and to... plus

Best place in the world. You can see them making the pastries in the back as you walk up the stairs. Great for families. Cash only or Canadian debit so be sure to have cash if you're a tourist. I would like to live here if they'd let me.

One of the best croissants I've ever had the pleasure of eating: the pistachio croissant at Mamie Clafoutis!! I came with a few friends in the morning, and the smell of buttery goodness welcomes you in. We took a few minutes to look at their display of pastries, and two of us settled on the pistachio croissant while the other got the Oh Mon Dieu. We also each got a Cafe Au Lait. Service was... plus

I saw so many yelpers review this place on a high rating and thought I might as well stop by while I'm here.

I must say.... I was very confused when I walked in. The sign to my left said take a number and I walked in a circle not knowing that the number was to be taken at the right side of the door. A few other people behind me did the same thing and was confused. Please fix your signage.

I... plus

First time here. Picked up 10 pastries to bring over to a dinber I was going too. Excellent way to end a good meal. Everything was delicious.

took out coffee and two pastries in the morning and it was fast and smooth! The pastries are SO FRESH and tasted amazing. every bite of the croissant and apple jam croissant was so enjoyable...great fresh flakes on the outside and chewy buttery layers on the inside. The jam was so good too, not too sweet. Will definitely return if I could.

Happened to walk past this delight while walking my dogs early in the morning when I noticed the piles of sourdough bread in the window ! Took my dogs back home and headed back. Wonderful baguettes , soft and airy on the inside with the perfect crust on the outside.

Both me and my husband are addicted to their blue cheese and nuts bread theses days. The honey and bacon bread and shallot bread are also so good. Pity that they don't always have all these flavours in store

Looking for pastries, bread, a quick bite? This is the place for you! Everything is so fresh, you just want to take a bite of every piece of bread. The place smells delicious, and for good reason. I will say, that I did not know that there was a ticketing system, we stood in the line for about 10 minutes before we knew we had to take a ticket.Granted it was very busy that day so no one realized... plus

This place is AMAZING. I tried a couple patisseries on my visit to Montreal, but I think this one is definitely my favourite. I would HIGHLY recommend this place! I picked up some pastries on my way back home and I regret not getting more. I also regret not going earlier during my visit to Montreal so I could go again! I got a chocolate pistachio croissant, an apple croissant, and a plain... plus

Chocolate. Pistachio. Croissant.

Get it, and you most certainly will be on cloud nine.

Be sure to get a number right when you walk in the door. It can be chaotic and hard to spot the red spool of numbers beyond the small entryway.

The bread display and more importantly tastes were out of this world. They had samples of a fluffy, slightly frosted cake, and we also got levain bread and a meat... plus

Hoooooolyyyyyyyy....this place is legit.

Located within the quirky Plateau Mont-Royal is this quaint yet rustic bakery.

Immediately upon entering you are greeted with an amazing aroma of baked goods. The smell is out of this world.

They have a wide selection of various baked goods that are baked fresh on the spot. The store is really warm inside because they have the ovens going all day... plus

I came here while in town on my "mini-moon"-- the atmosphere is very European and the breads/pastries looked amazing. I ordered an iced latte and it was pretty good just very small portion. It might be because I'm from the US but their "large" is our/my "small". I wish I wasn't en route to Mt. Royal or I would have tried some of the food!

On my recent visit to Montreal I developed a bad habit of visiting this place every morning And eating way too many of their delicious treats. At the top of my list was the chausson aux pommes, I couldn't get enough, and left Montreal with butter in my veins. The coffee was excellent, and so was the friendly service!

We absolutely love the quality of pastry served there, fresh and rich in flavor. The ambiance was clean and comfortable. My son was trying to practice his French and the staff was cordial and helpful.

A chef friend recommended this place and I'm so glad he did. I've been to France and never found croissants as delicious as this place.

I ordered the almond, pistachio, chocolate, plain and chocolate ganache. Yes, I tried them all and yes, they were all delicious. I could taste each and every ingredient. Croissants come sliced with a filling/paste gently spread between the flaky, buttery... plus

I *love* Mamie Clafoutis, even if I can feel my arteries clamping shut in protest.

From the Oh Mon Dieu, which is like a chocolatine for people who think that chocolatine aren't chocolatey enough and don't particularly mind dying at the age of 30, to the beautiful fruit pastries, MC knows how to make sweets.

You can even watch them make bread and pastry in the massive kitchen!

My favourites... plus

Truly excellent in house pastries, breads and prepared food as well as espresso based coffees - nice lounge upstairs with a piano available.

I found the Oh Mon Dieu chocolatine overwhelming but their other pastries are for the most part fantastic.

I now find the service consistent with mostly fluent bi-lingual offers and suggestions from the staff.

Be sure to take a number at the entrance,... plus

One of my favourite places to work or read at, with my regular order of coffee and an Oh Mon Dieu, which literally means Oh My God because that's what you say when you have this heavenly croissant!!
The chocolate croissant is by far the best I have had in my life. It's crispy and soft on the outside and filled with a generous amount of chocolate on the inside and made to perfection!!
The rest... plus

Apricotine
sweet & delicious. Tartness of apricot goes well with the sweet custard and rich pastry

Chocolate croissant
this is what a real croissant tastes like. Crunchy, buttery and the chocolate adds sweetness.

Part de tart aux almande - $4.75
tastes like oatmeal, fresh plum tough pastry bottom. Light tasting.

You can really tell they bake everything fresh.

Go here for simply divine, authentic French pastries. Most of the other reviews echo the same experience I had at this bakery, so I will affirm that this is indeed a legit French bakery where locals go, in addition to savvy tourists sniffing out the best eats. Staff are friendly, the upstairs eating area offers a really cool view of the bakery, and the bread and pastry displays are the stuff... plus

Fantastic!!! Simply put, this French-style bakery is a gem. While traveling I try to avoid the tourist traps and seek out the places locals go. This fit the bill perfectly.

Mamie Claufotis is the place where locals flock. There was a long line and we took a number at ticket dispenser just inside the door. It was actually a blesssing in disguise because the wait gave my friend and I a few... plus

Mamie Clafoutis is one of my favorite bakeries in Montreal, I went once a week for take out and dine in. Their Staffs always offer friendly served which make you feel welcome home.

However this Sunday Dec 10 a BAD customer service experience tainted the afternoon. I was at Île des Soeurs branch. I ordered my coffee and patisseries that I've been ordering for years and this time I asked for... plus

I cannot say a bad thing about this place. We enjoyed posting up here on a rainy Montréal afternoon playing card games and eating our hearts out on some delicious pastries. We had the Almond Croissant, Chocolate Croissant and several other delicious confections. We washed them down with some espresso and were happy as clams.

'Mamie' means grandmother and 'Clafoutis' is a baked french dessert w/ fruit.

I walked away with half a dozen of the almond & chocolate croissants --which were honestly the best croissants I have ever had.

There is space upstairs to sit and enjoy your baked goods as well as a glass ceiling to watch the bakers in motion.

**Americans beware** unfortunately, mamie clafoutis does not accept... plus

Their selection of bread is amazing, always fresh. Tried everything and everythings so good. Did i mention the flour is organic? Their coffees are delicious too.

Baked. Goods. Belly.

This hyper local bakery is perhaps one of the times I felt like I was a Frenchwoman most while in Montreal. The language barrier is real but the staff is so kind figuring out what it is you really want. Coffee? Bold and flavorful. The pastries? Decadent and worthy of an Instagram foodie post (get alllll the dub taps!)

There are also to-go bevvies and water bottles... plus

We lucked out, our Airbnb was right down the street from this pastry shop. We were on our way out of town so we picked up two butter croissants, one chocolate croissant, a New York sandwich (egg, tomato, bacon) and a margarita sandwich (prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato). French isn't our strong suit but we were still able to communicate.

The pastries were super delicious, and the sandwiches were... plus

Had an amazing tuna salad. The greens were fresh and the tuna was delicious. Their drip coffee is also good. The pastries look amazing.

Loved the Sandwiches and Baked Goods

I usually pick up pastries and bread in Montreal at either Au Pain Dore or Premiere Moisson but my mother and I went to Mamie Clafoutis for lunch one afternoon in Nun's Island. My sandwich was excellent, as was my brownie. We took baked goods home as well and I haven't stopped raving about it. Will definitely return on my... plus

Yum

bread, pastries, and sandwiches. Very french. I just pointed to all the things I wanted and everything was FABULOUS!

This is our favorite neighbourhood bakery

Everything here is absolutely delicious. We love the breads, pastries and croissants here. We go here several times a week.

Always thinking about this place

Their chocolate pistachio croissant is to die for. So much better than the over-hyped NYC Buchon Bakery's croissant. Maime's Cannele is the real deal. I've tried a few in NYC bakeries and even a bakery in Paris and none comes as close to Mamie's - the texture is perfect and there's a slight licorish(?) taste to it. Their brioche is... plus

Great place for pastries

First off the croissants traveled well. I had a box of croissants that flew with me back to Vancouver and then to Saskatoon and they all survived!
The almond croissants are amazing! The oh mon dieu! croissant was good (filled with chocolate, more then the chocolatine). The plain croissant was awesome! My roommates devoured the desserts I brought home.
They... plus

Wonderful sandwiches, soups, and baluchon and -- croissants

Mamie Clafoutis is a fun little boulangerie about a block from the Sherbrooke Metro station on Rue St. Denis. I started with the porc sandwich, and the bread, the meat, and all the extras were just perfect. My wife had the cold carrot soup and a baluchon, a pastry filled with ricotta and spinach. Make sure to eat upstairs, a... plus

Stop there for your baguette or spend a nice moment in their lounge upstairs

Excellent bread (in french standards), good cakes. Go there to buy your baguette or complete it with some croissants and a coffee to enjoy upstairs. Climbing up you will have a nice view over the bakery and see how they make loafs, puff pastry and pies

Great coffee and baked goods

This bakery/cafe has a large selection of very appetizing baked goods. it is hard to choose. It also has coffee and sandwiches. You take a number to order. A wonderful place for those who like french bread and patisseries.

Best croissants , bread , sandwiches

The bakery is located 1 block from the Sherbrooke metro station on an intersection with many restaurants and pubs. It's worth searching out if you're not in the neighborhood. I've tried the top listed bakeries in Montreal and this is the best! On weekends, be sure to grab a numbered ticket in the entrance for service ; I've come during... plus

Great Boulangerie-Patisserie

I discovered Mamie Clafoutis as I was in Montreal for business. Great pastries. Chocolatine and croissants are like in France. Friendly staff and the tea room upstairs is a plus !

Great bread and pastry, cool place to hang out

We've been here a few times either for a loaf of bread, a pastry or to eat lunch upstairs. Food is always excellent, ordering can be a bit frantic (it is busy in the front shop) but the staff are always patient with our weak French (all speak English). Upstairs is a great space (can get busy) for a sandwich... plus

Skip the Oh Mon Dieu but have the Almond Pistachio Croissant

As a big fan of the real Russian Chocolate Babka (oooeey goooey chocolate heaven), and with Cheskie's being closed for the Jewish holidays, stumbled across Mamie Clafoutis and their "Oh Mon Dieu" chocolate croissant/baked good. It was nice, but does not compare to the Russian Chocolate Babka from Cheskie's. On the other hand, did get the Almond Pistachio Croissant, which... plus

Best breads and croissants in Montreal

This is bakery is a place you must try to complete your visit of Montreal if you are a foodie or just a lover of bread. Try the chocolate Oh Mon Dieu also. You will not regret it.
There are two other locations, which I assume are good, but I only tried this one.

excellent boulangerie

Very good bread and sweets, in particular croissant with pistacchio and almonds and mon dieux.
Also bread with nuts and blue cheese. Absolutely to try!

To die for French pastries

Also has coffee. Take your pastry and coffee upstairs to sit at tables there. On the way up see pastry chefs at work below. They also sell freshly made sandwiches, quiche as well as the incredible pastry. The plum tarte is especially good.

Fantastic bakery filled with interesting choices

You know it's going to be good as soon as you walk in. It has that unmistakable smell of perfect yeasty bread. Not a traditional French patisserie with many interesting temptations like a bun with just enough sweet glaze and big chunks of hazelnuts to be perfect. Or a pistachio bar cookie with cranberries. And a chocolate croissant with chocolate... plus

You have to eat here

Everything is delicious in here. If you are staying in the plateau and want to get lunch on the go then this place is great. They also have delicious cakes, pastries, a wide array of breads. Highly recommend this!

Stop by... So good

If you ever go by, you should definitely stop there. It's hard to leave that place with only a baguette or a loaf of bread.

Sinfully delicious chocolate croissants

I found this spot when my longtime fave was closed for the day--what a great find! Some of the yummiest croissants this side of the Atlantic. Try the triple chocolate!

Wow

What an amazing bakery...I have read several reviews/articles about this place and it was high on my bucket list. I am so glad I finally made the trip, what a treat. The venue is beautiful. The smells, breads and desserts remind me of my 6 years spent living in France. I tried the carmel cake, the tarte tatin and canele... plus

afternoon pastry break

After a long afternoon on our feet, we were delighted to find this bakery on rue St-Denis. It didn't look like much from the outside but inside we were greeted by the sight of plenty of delicious pastries and breads and the smells of baking, a true welcome for weary travellers. We enjoyed some exquisite pastries in the upstairs seating... plus

Favorite place for Tea and baking goods

Very good handmade baking goods in the same league as Premiere Moisson bakeries, only different. They have a nice room on the second floor with tables and sofas overlooking the bakery itself. They carry my favorite kind of tea KUSMIs ( 6 stars out of 5 stars ). Croissant are very good ( 4 stars out of 5 ), Breads... plus
