| - I could write an entire novel about this place. Discovering this diamond in the rough changed my life. Exaggeration? Absolutely not.
I was visiting Montreal with my friend, and we were dying to buy our first croissant. We had no idea where to begin, but we were in the area and decided to explore. We stumbled across this hole in the wall, and it was like walking into your grandma's kitchen. The smells were intoxicating, the food looked delicious, and the staff was cheery, sincere, and all-around wonderful. I kept it simple by getting a butter croissant, but I don't think I could've gone wrong with anything in the shop. The croissant was warm, flaky, airy, and absolutely the most delicious croissant I've ever had in my entire life. I couldn't believe my mouth, to be frank. After experiencing one, my friend and I ended up here three or four more times; we were only in Montreal for four days. We went out of our way to drive to Boulangerie before leaving the city for Toronto! That last time, I did get a delicious mocha.
As the woman who seemed to run the joint said to me every time she handed me my order - Voila! That's right. It was like I was brought to this place by some higher power.
I need a croissant. Now.
