Crossing the US border to get my daughter’s 17th bday cake and pastries at O Chef was my best decision that morning! The chef & owner and his staff member were all smiles and most helpful, the Saint-Honoré was an absolute hit, as were the pastries (pavés, charlottes) and the macarons taken to decorate the plates. I was graciously offered a velvety espresso for the drive home and… the flaky, deliciously buttery croissants disappeared at home before I could take a picture of them! We will be back for sure!

★★★★

Great service, but it's best to order online beforehand, or they might not have what you want when you go. For example, I went in the morning, and they didn't have any butter croissant left.

I drive around to find a good croissants... The croissants offered at o chef reminds me of cafeteria croissants ... outside not crispy, not buttery, the texture are quite flat not layered enough. The cashews croissants is a bit better but still not up to my standard...kind of disappointed for the long drive and price. It s a lunch croissant good for putting eggs and meat in it...not to eat as is with a good coffee....

★★★

Croissants and other baked treats were just not as light and buttery as expected. Maybe just my taste. Otherwise good selection. Will try for lunch next time in the area.

This is the legendary Chez De Gaulle from downtown Montreal. Same incredible chef, same outstanding taste and unmatched quality. What's different is you don't have to spend 20 minutes looking for parking at this location.

Really very good, the croissants very tasty and fresh, I had a vanilla cupcake for my daughter and we loved it! I will definitely come back, thank you it was very excellent

November 23, 2024

If I could give 0 stars I would!!! Total disappointment!!!! We ordered 10 cupcakes for our boys party - they were not edible - dry and clearly not fresh. At $4.40/cupcake dont waste your money here. Edit: What a mature and professional response from the owner! That says a lot about you and your business! By the way, I didnt order a cake from you, only the cupcakes. Have a nice day and good luck to you

Croissants clearly with margarine, terrible. Soft and tasteless. In response to the owner, no, I ordered you a croissant with fresh butter of the day, dont take us for nothing by making me believe that its butter

I was disappointed with the price-quality. I went there twice and I had to pay almost $20 both times for a take-out meal that took a very long time to be served (when it was already prepared in advance) and I didnt honestly not impressed with the taste which was average. It s still good and I think it s worth going to make your own opinion, but personally, I don t think I ll go back

December 23, 2022

Never again! Never again! This is definitely the worst business I have visited all year! I was looking for something to eat before going back to work. So I had 20 minutes to find something to eat. I passed this business and told myself that I would have plenty of time. Well, imagine no! There was no one inside and it took 25 minutes to serve me a grilled sandwich! So, do you age it before giving it to the customer?? Its a sandwich, not cheese! It was not edible, it was very hard in the mouth and not good at all! All this for almost $20?!? No but??? It makes me wonder if I went there on July 1st or April 1st!!! In addition, the gentleman who served me (the owner I imagine) made me wait 10 minutes before serving me!! Hire more employees if you need to or close if you cant afford them! Worst experience! My boss was not happy to see me arrive late for work! All that for that!

The best breakfast croissants in town! The iced coffee is to die for! I cant wait to go back to try the other products which all look delicious!

December 23, 2022

I was greeted by a cheeky man who had a strong French accent. Thats almost 2 stars less when leaving. If a business is not able to promote its products sympathetically, it deserves nothing from me or anyone. Next, I ordered an iced coffee and two maple éclairs. In terms of quality, taste and freshness, I have to say that it was bad, they were very dry. The iced coffee... It was an old coffee that had been lying around. It was so strong that I think even a small teaspoon of industrial ground coffee would have been less worse to eat than drinking your iced coffee... I guess your only talent lies behind that... As for prices, they were absolutely ridiculous. More than $20 for what I took doesnt make any sense. My recommendation to you would be to remove products from the counter that are not popular enough to keep them fresh and review your attitude with your customers.

The pastries are excellent however I bought 2 loaves 1 Belgian loaf not very good its as if it was made with just flour and water No taste, and a cranberry and chocolate loaf at 8: 00$ practically no pieces of chocolate I was looking for them and very very few cranberries I was looking for them too, tasteless bread crumbs and too light. In short, I recommend it for the pastries because the tartlets were really excellent but not at all for the bread.
