Mamie Clafoutis

Sandwich au gravlax très cheap, une seule tranche de saumon et quatre câpres pour 7,50 $. C’était autrefois le meilleur sandwich du genre à Montréal!

Très bon croissant avec une quantité de beure juste pas trop pas pas assez qui prend toute la valeur plus du latte

Mamie Clafoutis, c’est le régal des papilles assuré!
Vous y trouverez toutes sortes de pains et de pâtisseries bien français, avec plein de bonnes choses dedans, de vrais délices!
Il y a aussi des gâteaux et en ce moment, des galettes, très bonnes parait-​il
Un must do à Montréal!

This is the place to take anyone visiting to Montréal for the best pastries! I’ve never been disappointed. The au mon dieu is something you’ll want to try!

Mamie Clafoutis is pretty darn good, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. I think perhaps that’s the fact that I have tons of good bakery options around, rather than the quality of Mamie Clafoutis itself, and it nonetheless is a good addition to this strip of St Denis.
On the plus side of things, their number taking system means you don’t get overlooked, as sometimes happens in busy shops without number systems, when you’re stuck looking like the rude person yelling «Hi? I think you forgot me!». There is so much choice! Not only in pastries but in specialty breads, cakes, etc. This can be a negative for people who have trouble deciding! And best of all, I had the best cookie here. It was a raspberry sablé, and oh was it good! Too often they are too dense and not buttery enough. This one was amazing!
On the negative side of things, I found the fact that the shop was so busy I found it somewhat overwhelming. I knew about the number system, but still went in first, took a look around to make sure I had an idea of what I wanted, and then took a number. The numbers flew by fast enough, especially since it seemed like there were a lot of people who either took a number and left, or accidentally took more than one. The croissant I sampled was good, but not the best I’ve ever had.
So overall good, but maybe I’m just picky.

One of the best bakery in Montréal !
A lot of choices and the possibility to eat inside, upstairs.
It’s a bit expensive for pastries but it is really quality food !

Food: You like croissants? You like pastries? This is THE place for you! Sure all their baked goods are delicious but the pastries are out of this world! To try absolutely: pistachio croissants! AMAZING! The dough is ultra-​flaky, crunchy as you bite into it but then instantaneously melt in your mouth. The filling is pasty, not overly sweet and with a comforting and rich pistachio taste. What more to ask for? They also specialize in galette des rois with different fillings during holiday season, TO TRY ABSOLUTELY~ I usually only come here to get pastries, the artisan style bread are good and original too, but may not be as varied as some other bakeries.
Service: Very helpful and patient, also told me how to reheat my croissants at home~
Price: Mid range for pastries
Ambiance: Don’t get deceived by the first look, when you enter the store, the space seems to be very limited and crowded with no interior seats. But the steep stairs on the side with lead you to another universe. Traveling through the passerelle where you have view on the workshop will lead you to a cozy study/​work/​chilling lounge area with couches, tables and chairs. Bonus to self-​serve station of milk/​cream and water machine!

This is a Viennese bakery shop. Its busy, let me tell you but worth the wait. The business seem to specialize in bread and small pastries.
The spinach and goat cheese sandwich was small but very flavourful and savouring. If you’re a little hungry and not famished, get it. I love their bread.
There is this pie with a pistachio filling. Not overy sweet, but very heavy and filling– good to share.
Their pistachio croissant is crispy butter and filled with pistachio! Love it and i would order it again.
I also ordered an almond croissant but its still its takeout bag– i’ve been trying to be healthier after the holidays.
BUT GOSH THIS PLACE IS GOOD.
5 stars for me.
Staff are super friendly too

Walking on the street near by your sense of smell will guide you here for sure. The breads they make are so good, the coffee is very nice but the pastries are only good not amazing, I had better. The top floor as a nice sitting area and I do like their numbering system while you are waiting to be served which simplifies thing. Bottom line if you are in the area and want a coffee or a nice dessert /​patisserie this is a very good choice but I wont come here especially.

UPDATE: This is now insanely busy what with exams happening every single week of every month. But I just want to add THEIR SANDWICHES ARE DELICIOUS! The grilled chicken is freaking amazing! The filling they use is so good! And curry chicken is unexpectedly delicious too!
I FOUND MY HEAVEN. I loooooooooooove cafes where I can sit and enjoy their goodies in peace. I don’t like visiting a beautiful coffee shop and feel like people are rushing me. Because I can make my own good coffee at home, you know? Why would I bother coming to a coffee shop if I can’t stay?
Mamie Clafoutis makes incredible pistachio croissants and almond croissants, as well as cookies and tonssssss of bread. PLUS they have lots and lots and lots of comfortable seating upstairs. The tables are big enough for a computer and a Wacom tablet, messy papers and pencils, textbooks, and my food and coffee. This is bigger than my desk at home! Also lots of OUTLETS! LOTS OF POWER!!!
I originally wanted to do a Sherbrook station bakery hop, but I visited Mamie Clafoutis first and never left. It’s so comfortable here that I called my friend, and we both studied here. The table is big enough for both our stuff.
This is, in fact, my heaven. Washrooms are clean. Wifi is not super fast when more people are here, but it is faster than Starbucks and 100% working. Staff is absolutely wonderful. The smell of the bakery is delightful, so feel free to watch the kitchen from upstairs!
The pistachio croissant plus café au lait is about $ 8. But this isn’t the typical airy and tiny croissant. The croissant is quite filling and heavy! I looooooved mine. The almond is good too!

Pastry heaven! My husband and I came in here for a mid afternoon coffee and a treat. We ordered the chocolate croissant and the almond and chocolate croissant. Both were incredibly flaky and delicious. The prices were good too and the service was friendly. Definitely a great place to try some traditional French pastries and treat yourself :)

My favorite patisserie in Montréal! Delicious, fresh pastries for great prices! The service is friendly and joyous. I love ordering whatever’s come straight out of the oven into the shelf – still warm and aromatic. I wish I had a French bakery like this across the street from me in New York!

Ma boulangerie pref à Montréal. Je né me lasse pas du Oh mon dieu!, de leurs excellents croissants aux amandes et des petits pains au chocolat. La succursale sur Saint-​Denis est très agréable: il y a au deuxième étage un salon de thé vraiment cute, toujours très calme et parfait pour faire des travaux, le cadre est toujours reposant.
Parfois, le service est désorganisé et expéditif mais les viennoiseries pardonnent amplement ce manqué de délicatesse sporadique.

I love croissants. I love pistachios. I love Mamie Clafoutis.
Their pistachio croissant was delicious — definitely worth it to make a trip! My initial thoughts were on the heftier price tag for a single croissant but it turned out to be the heaviest croissant I’ve ever had! Price justified. And loaded with pistachio paste, I wasn’t complaining :) It was moist, dense, and a treat to eat. I would say that it leans towards the dessert/​snack side than the typical fluffy breakfast croissant due to its sweetness and texture. However, I may be biased because I am a sucker for anything pistachio.

Not only are the offerings here good (we tried the cheddar and mushroom baguette, the pudding, the croissants and a regular baguette and washed it down with some excellent coffee) but the presentation was excellent and the space was eclectic and quiet. It’s fantastic.
The croissant was amazing, buttery without being overpowering and the cheddar and mushroom baguette was something special.
Still, my favorite thing was the brief bout of vertigo coming out of the bathroom as there is a floor to ceiling wall of glass that opens on to the back half of the kitchen, one floor below.
I really, really like this place.

The pastries from this place are Excellent! I bought $ 65 worth for my trip back to Toronto so I could share the bounty of the some of the most amazing pastries I’ve had.
First I tried the popular croissant filled with pistachio paste — to die for! It’s huge, no skimping on the filling (from end to end) & flaky on the top. Just the right sweetness of the filling.
Next I tried the raisin bun — another deliscious winner! My kid had the «oh mon dieu» it’s omg huge & filled with lots of chocolate! So dam good (I got a bite from his).
I also bought some almond filled croissants — excellent again (I had this the next day just as flaky & fresh)
The chocolate buns aka «chocolatines» were very good — These have little chunks of chocolate inside the flaky pastry (these were my least favourite only because I have a sweet tooth & like more chocolate) but if you’re in the mood for something less sweet in a flaky roll then this is for you.
Overall you won’t be dissapointed with any of the above items I tried. Since this was my first time trying this place I was exceptionally blown away by the pastries. Excellent quality! They open at 6:30 am and that’s when I bought all my goodies so I didn’t experience the crazy line ups I read about. Only time I’m up that early so I didn’t miss trying this place (had to get back to Toronto)

Came here on a friend’s recommendation.
Pistachio croissant –not what I was expecting, its a green pistachio paste which isn’t too sweet. Very yummy and definitely filling. I also got the cheese croissant –just a slight cheddar taste that keeps you coming back for more.
They have really good ice coffee — Cause it’s a slushie!!! very good flavor and perfect sugar content. I would come back for the croissant and coffee slushies

I have to be honest, I was a little disappointed with the 2 items we ordered at Mamie Clafoutis.
Maybe I should have ordered a Clafoutis or Maybe I should come earlier during the day when all their baked good were fresh out of the oven.
Canelés De Bordeaux was good though, the rum really came through! Not too many caneles available in Toronto so I did enjoy that!
Pistachio Croissant though a little dry and a little stale.
I do love the upstair seating area with different configuration of lounge, sectional sofa, small study table and a communal table.
The shop also not busy at all when we got there and got served right away without the need to get a ticket or wait in line!

Thank you to the reviewer (s) who recommended the Oh Mon Dieu («OMG»)…a croissant filled with an impossible amount of chocolate.
This crunchy, croissanty, chocolatey snack – which we devoured in the upstairs lounge of this wonderful patisserie – was a triple threat: delicious, decadent and divine.

Five stars for one thing:
Chocolate Pistachio
Croissant of your dreams.
Go here. Get your ticket at the door. Wait. Buy it. Eat it. Thank me. Buy some more. Take them home to all your friends. Dream about it.

I am so jealous that montreal has this. Basically, the world is missing out. You can tell how great a place is by the crowd/​line that gathers and that you have to get a ticket once you get there. There are a few bakeries that are like this bc they make great bread/​food (portos in cali and oakmont bakery in pitt). The wait was not long or probably did not feel long because I could not stop ogling and drooling over the bread, and pastry displays. I wanted to get everything!
My friends and I shared a few chocolatine aux pistaches, caneles, oh mon dieu and strawberry tart. They were all amazing!
My faves were: (1) chocolatine aux pistaches, the croissant itself was perfectly made and the filling too. My mouth is watering just thinking about it; (2) canele, it was like a custard flan with a crunchy burnt sugar shell almost tasted like a crème brûlée but not too sweet. It was perfect! 3) strawberry tart filling was perfect and smelled so good! It came in a pretty box.
Lorenzo, who served us was friendly and efficient. He didn’t mind that us americans couldn’t pronounce the french pastry names but pointed to what we wanted instead. He also made my jasmin tea even after we already paid and he was helping others. I highly recommend this place if you’re in montreal. I wish I brought some home.

Leur carré aux pistaches … Un régal ! J’ai récemment découvert leur petit salon, en haut … Trop cosy ! En plus, c’est à côté de la BANQ, donc, pour les étudiants, comme moi, c’est l’endroit idéal pour un petit déjeuner avant d’attaquer une journée de travail ! Ai-​je mentionné leur capuccino? Impérativement à essayer. J’ai peut-​être aussi cédé à l’appel de leurs mini-​viennoiseries: aux raisins et chocolat-​amande … Seul point faible, le prix peut-​être, pas pour tous les jours sinon, rien à redire !

Tout y est délicieux. TOUT ! Le choix de pains est varié et on peut le faire trancher sur place. Les pâtisseries et viennoiseries sont décadentes. C’est aussi un des «rares» endroits à Montréal où on peut trouver des cannelés. Ces derniers sont parfaits: croustillants et moelleux à la fois. Les sandwichs sont un peu chers, mais vraiment bons.
J’adore aussi toutes leurs créations pour les fêtes: des baguettes en forme de coeur pour la Saint-​Valentin, des sapins brownies pour Noël, des tartes à la citrouille pour l’Halloween…
L’attente peut parfois être longue, mais le service en tant que tel est rapide et courtois. N’oubliez pas de prendre un ticket à l’entrée, ça vous évitera de poireauter pour rien ! Il y a un petit lounge à l’étage avec vue sur l’atelier. C’est agréable de voir les boulangers/​pâtissiers s’affairer à leurs tâches. Par contre, l’endroit est un peu sombre, donc ce n’est pas l’idéal pour travailler.

The pastries here are out of this world! I was in town for vacation and a local recommended this bakery as a food destination for me to check out.
Quick tip — when you walk in, be sure to grab a ticket at the main entrance. Don’t be an idiot like me — waiting in line only to make it to the front and not be served because I didn’t get a number. All the pastries on display looked absolutely amazing. I only wish I had more of a stomach to try everything. My favorites were the canelé (one of the best I’ve ever had), the pistachio croissant, and the Oh Mon Dieu (that’s OMG for you French challenged). The canelé was spot on — perfect, hardened caramelized crust with an incredibly moist inside bursting with flavor and richness. The aptly named Oh Mon Dieu was just ridiculous — it’s like an ultra rich croissant that explodes in chocolate when you bite into it.
You have the option of taking the food to go, or you can go upstairs where there is a really nice seating area with couches and tables. From the upstairs area, you also get a birds-​eye view of the bakery which is nice. Also free wifi, which was fast.
Definitely will be back again next time I am in town!

My favorite bakery in montreal ! They have delicious pastries and a super cute décor too!
You’re supposed to grab a number at the door when you first walk in, but I prefer to browse their options first because it takes me super long to decide
They have such a wide collection of breads and pastries that it’s so hard to choose, but my favorite is definitely the pistachio croissant! Don’t think words could express how much I love their pistachio croissants — always get it whenever I come :) perfect combination of buttery and flakey and I love the pistachio paste :3
Their other pastries are delicious as well ! I’ve tried their rolls and bread pudding which did not disappoint :)
If you’re looking for a savoury option, they serve quiches and sandwiches as well!
Their coffee is average, but they make up for it in their yummy sweets
I think it’s a great place to go with friends so you can order and try several pastries
They have a really cute sitting area upstairs, but it does get crowded in the afternoon, so if you plan to enjoy your pastry there, you might want to head upstairs to find a seat first !

Cute bakery with lots of space and I’m assuming seating upstairs. I dropped by for some pastries togo b/​c we were heading back to NJ. Read lots of good reviews and had Mamie on the list to try out. Staff and service is friendly.
Cheese croissant — had an interesting taste, wasn’t as buttery and the texture wasn’t as flaky. I reheated it in my toaster oven and had it with some eggs and it tasted a lot better than when I tasted it «fresh».
Regular croissant — had the same interesting taste as the cheese croissant and the texture wasn’t as crisp or buttery.
Raisin croissant — the outer ring of the pastry was nice and flaky and buttery, what I’m used to, but the center of the pastry was a little dense. Seemed like it had some sort of custard type filling in the center that I didn’t care for.
Maple and white chocolate croissant — this pastry was THE BOMB. I recrisped and reheated it in my toaster oven and it was perfection. This was my favorite pastry from this bakery for sure. Perfect texture and amount of sweetness.
Overall, I would come back for the maple and white chocolate croissant round and to try their pistachio croissant. I couldn’t believe I didn’t see this flavor when I totally read about it in countless Unilocal reviews. I’m not sure if this bakery uses a different type of butter or bakes their pastries a little different than traditional French bakeries, but it definitely wasn’t my favorite. Au Kouign Amann bakery totally reigned supreme when it came to their laminated pastries.

Tout est à essayer et découvrir. Le pouding chômeur dans un petit pot est le meilleur que j’ai mangé. Les croissants aux amandes sont juste a point. Un bijoux de pâtisserie a montreal

Bön Muffin !!! Succulent

Excellent !
J’ai goûté uniquement la partie gâteaux/​pâtisserie, mais j’y retournerai pour goûter le pain. Le choix de sucré est très large, tout donne tellement envie que j’en ai pris pour un régiment: tartelette au citron, tartelette tatin, cannelés, sablé à la framboise, carré pistache framboise et le Mamie kouign qui sent bon le beurre et la noisette.
Un vrai régal, idéalement si on cherche un goûter ou un dessert qui né soit pas une pâtisserie de luxe ou un muffin classique.
Les prix sont tout à fait corrects, environ entre 2 et 4 $ par gâteaux.
Je vous souhaite une agréable dégustation !

Bonne boulangerie sur le Plateau. Client régulier/​hebdomadaire depuis son ouverture en 2011. N’oubliez pas de prendre un numéro à l’entrée pour vous faire servir. Bons pains de différentes sortes, baguettes, miches, fougasses… Leur baguette (2,35 $) est croustillante à l’extérieur et moelleuse à l’intérieur. Délicieuses viennoiseries de qualité, croissant (1,55 $), pain au chocolat (2,05 $), chausson aux pommes (2,74 $), brownie (2,95 $), carré aux pistaches (3,65 $), sablé aux framboises (2,50 $), galette à la mélasse (1,65 $), canelés (2,10 $) … Ils ont aussi bien sûr des quiches lorraines (petite quiche 4,73 $ /​grande 16,75 $), salades, sandwichs, rosette de Lyon (4,90 $), poulet grillé (6,70 $), gravlax (6,50 $). Bien entendu, ils ont des bonnes tartes & clafoutis. Ils ont du café (petit 1,91 $), thés & lattés. Bien sûr tous ces prix n’incluent pas les taxes. Le personnel et le service sont ok, sans plus, on vient qu’ici pour leurs produits après tout. Vous avez un salon de thé au 2e étage + wifi gratuit. ⁴⁄₅. Visité en janvier 2015.
ps: @ proprios; «commencez par offrir un bon service et + de personnel sur place avant d’ouvrir pleins d’autres succursales à travers la Ville, 15 minutes d’attente pour acheter une baguette !!!»

Les viennoiseries et le pain sont très bons.
Les croissants et la baguette sont même meilleurs que dans de nombreuses boulangeries françaises.

L’expérience Mamie Clafoutis, ça commence par 20 minutes de queue (né pas oublier de prendre son ticket, merci) pour un service totalement désorganisé et ça se termine tout autant de temps plus tard avec une facture exorbitante pour 3 viennoiseries (3 $ pour un croissant aux amandes ?!), vraiment moyennes (croissants au beurre pas mauvais, avec un beau feuilletage, mais pas assez cuits et manquant de beurre) et une baguette correcte, sans plus.
Si j’y retourne? Pas sûr.

Une excellente boulangerie près du métro Sherbrooke que je recommande à tous. Mon test pour vérifier la qualité de la pâtisserie, c’est le croissant. Pourquoi? Parce que ce n’est pas si facile que cela à réaliser, un bon croissant.
J’ai acheté un croissant nature qui était parfait à mon goût; croustillant à souhait à l’extérieur et tendre et feuilleté à l’intérieur. Il faut s’armer d’un peu de patience et attendre en file, car c’est souvent bondé. Cependant, la qualité est là! La prochaine fois, j’essayerai les pains!

Pour moi, les meilleures viennoiseries de Mtl ! Deja goutés: oh mon dieu — chocolatine ganache chicolat, chocolatine aux pistaches, pain aux raisins et pudding mamie. Tout est une tuerie !

Je suis allée chez Mamie Clafoutis avec une envie de manger des vraies viennoiseries de boulangerie française de mon enfance; pas les trucs mous et industriels des supermarchés. J’ai pris un croissant et une baguette. Verdict: parfait ! Le croissant avait un bon goût de beurre et s’émiettait bien, bref, un vrai croissant ! J’ai aussi goûté à la chocolatine, un délice !
Mamie Clafoutis est à aller voir si vous êtes en manqué de viennoiseries françaises ou si vous voulez juste vous régaler.

Une amie m’a vanté les délices des tartes de Mamie Clafoutis. Ainsi, je suis partie bras ballants jusqu’à l’endroit en question, né sachant pas trop à quoi m’attendre. Paradoxalement, j’ai plus apprécié les pains (avec plein de sortes différentes, un régal) que les fameuses tartes dont mon amie m’avait parlé.
Que voulez-​vous, on né partage pas tous les mêmes goûts! Je n’ai rien trouvé d’exceptionnel au tarte, alors que je suis une fan de tarte aux fruits. Ok je compare peut-​être trop avec celle que me faisait ma maman. Mais sincèrement, j’ai plus pris plaisir à savourer leurs pains que leurs tartes.

Personnellement, pour les rares fois où je commande une chocolate, je suis toujours déçue parce que je trouve qu’il y a jamais assez de chocolat à l’intérieur de la montagne de pâte «flakeuse». PAR CONTRE, ma dent sucrée à été plus que comblée lorsque j’ai eu la chance de gouté au «Oh mon Dieu» de Mamie Clafoutis. Imaginez une chocolatine, mais débordant de ganache au chocolat. C’est tout simplement divin, et ça comble mes attentes de chocoholic x1000.
D’un autre côté, leur cappucino est correct et la salle pleine de divans pour manger au 2e étage est sans musique. Ça, ajouté au service assez ordinaire, j’ai trouvé que ça créait un manqué de chaleur un peu. Par contre ça né leur enleve pas la qualité de leurs pâtisseries, alors la prochaine fois je m’en tiendrai donc aux viennoiseries pour emporter, à déguster avec des amis dans un parc et un café venant d’un autre spot. :)

Cette boulangerie-​pâtisserie est très certainement mon coeur de coeur dans le domaine.
Leurs baguettes de pain goûtent le beurre. La mie est moelleuse et la croûte croustillante, mais pas trop, juste comme je les aime!
L’endroit vend toute sortes de pains. Différentes farines. Différentes saveurs: olives, fromages, etc. Des baguettes, des miches, des fougasses, etc.
Le mardi et le samedi, il est possible d’acheter un pain sans gluten au pavot qui est hyper moelleux et parfait pour les toasts du matin.
L’endroit vend également des muffins. Les seuls que j’aie goûtés sont ceux sans gluten (disponibles le mardi et samedi) aux dattes, bananes et bleuets. Ils sont toujours bons au goût, pour ce qui de la texture ça dépend. Certaines fois ils étaient moelleux comme jamais et d’autres très denses et lourds…
Quand je travaillais tout près, j’y allais 1 à 2 fois par semaine. Pourquoi si souvent? Les brownies!!! Ils sont chocolaté, moelleux et cochons sans bon sens!
Il m’arrivait aussi de me prendre un petit quelque chose pour le souper en passant. Malgré que plusieurs choix de sandwichs soient disponibles, je penchais toujours pour les quiches. Ma préférée? Celle au saumon.
En clair, si vous n’êtes jamais allés, vous manquez quelque chose!
P. S. Au deuxième étage, des tables sont disponibles pour ceux qui voudraient manger sur place.

Après 8h00 de bus depuis New York, une pause café matinale qui redonne le niac pour aborder une journée montréalaise.
Viennoiserie et pain comme à la maison ! (Bordeaux ;-)

Cette petite boulangerie a fait craquer mon coeur.
Toute subtile sur St-​Denis au coin de Cherrier, lorsqu’on entre au Mamie Clafoutis, on entre dans un paradis de la boulangerie. Leur pain aux olives vaut VRAIMENT le détour, pour ceux qui savent apprécier ce délice: il y a des olives entières, et PLEIN. ça se mange tout seul comme lunch, sans beurre ni rien tellement c’est bon. Sans compter la sélection de sandwichs uniques, de pâtisseries, le café si bon.
Le service est moche, souvent. (d’autres, il est exceptionnel, va savoir)
Mais on oublie vite lorsqu’on gravit les escalier pour aller vers la salle a manger/​boudoir en haut. On passé sur une passerelle qui surplombe l’arrière des comptoirs de la boulangerie pour voir les gens mettre la main a la pâte, littéralement.
