Bernice

Bernice is a really solid bakery with some standout items. Their brioche is basically a cinnamon-roll cousin — super moist, fluffy, and indulgent. It does lean on the sweeter side, but if you like rich pastries, it hits the spot. The blueberry coffee cake is an absolute 10/10 — soft, crumbly, perfectly balanced, and honestly one of the best things I’ve had there. My only complaint is that it’s not available nearly as often as I wish it were. The cinnamon coffee cake is also delicious, though it can be a bit dense at times compared to the blueberry. The cookies are very much Levain-style: thick, crispy on the outside, super moist inside. I tried a variety — double chocolate, chocolate chip, cranberry white chocolate, funfetti — but most were very sweet, to the point where I couldn’t finish them. The standout for me was the chocolate chip with pecans; the nuts cut the sweetness perfectly and made it much more balanced. My only real downside: the price. Around $40 for six cookies feels steep, even for high-quality baking. That said, Bernice clearly knows what they’re doing. If you’re into rich, indulgent baked goods and don’t mind a sweeter profile, it’s worth a visit — especially if you can get your hands on that blueberry coffee cake.

Celebrated two birthdays in the last month which gave us the opportunity to try the full frosting rainbow AND the Biscoff cookie butter cakes. Both phenomenal!! Probably the top 2 cakes I’ve ever had. And of course couldn’t leave without adding a variety of 6 of the most delicious cookies both times. They were a huge hit and will definitely be back (SOON!) to try more goodies. The brioche and carrot cakes are calling my name. Jami and staff all very helpful and friendly each time.

This Black Forest cake wasn’t just dessert it was an experience. When I asked the owner about it, he said it was inclusive, alcohol-free, and made for everyone. He told me it was heavenly. He wasn’t exaggerating. Each bite was like a quiet symphony icing that whispered sweetness, chocolate that sang in, rich tones, cherries that added just the right note of brightness. The texture was perfect moist, balanced, and composed. I usually avoid dark chocolate, yet here it felt like it belonged, like every part of this cake was in harmony. It was a silent love song and it moved me more than I expected.

Unfortunately the quality is inconsistent and there is a lack of care about customer service. Be careful with full cake orders and delivery orders. We purchased the strawberry shortcake and it tasted (and looked) not fully baked unfortunately. Also placed an order on uber eats for the cake of the day which was shown on their IG as a pistachio honey cake and instead received a Black Forest cake slice which was featured as their cake of the day the day before. Really disappointing as we contacted them about it and they did not make it right and said they were sorry if we were « confused » by their IG (even if they only featured the honey cake that day). When you are paying over $70+ for desserts, the experience and quality should be much better.

Such a good cinnamon roll! I did spend a pretty penny of 4 cinnamon rolls but it was worth it since everyone enjoyed it! Place is very clean, and the people there are very friendly! We got there around 10:30/11am on a rainy Sunday morning and there was only 3 people ahead of us but after 3 minutes in line, the line behind us grew substantially! They were very good with replenishing their stock but I would go early just incase. There is space in there to eat but the seats so fill up, we ended up taking our stuff to go!

Cozy spot with the most delicious pastries and drinks! The cinnamon roll was INCREDIBLE! The owner was also super friendly and explained their drinks menu, from which you can order anything in a Frappuccino format. We had a matcha Frappuccino and a chai Frappuccino and both were delicious. Also the cookies are excellent. Can’t wait to go back

Insane how delicious everything was! We got greedy and ordered more than what we could eat, and we don't regret it one bit. The cookies were heavenly and generous in size and there were large chunks of chocolate chips. The coffee cake was simultaneously dense and moist, a rare yet perfect combination. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, that dirty matcha really hit the spot by cutting the sweetness with its bitter-y matcha flavored warmth, coating the bites of cookies and cake. I was thirsty on my way out so grabbed an iced tea to go, and it was the best iced tea I ever had: sweet and slightly sour. Yum! Definitely coming back to try other things! ;)

The best service in town! Plus, a delicious birthday cake for my daughter! Thank you, she was so happy!

I ordered from here on my trip to Montreal for my daughter's birthday. The cake was scrumptious! My daughter was pleasantly surprised. The place is super cute. The cookies and other treats looked so yummy. I didn't get anything else, even though I was tempted to. The person that helped me was so nice. Def recommend this place to anyone!!!

I stumbled upon this place by accident during one of my walks around the neighborhood; I was pleasantly surprised to see this new bakery had opened in St- Henri, especially during the pandemic! The space is small but offers a few seats and tables to grab a coffee (once allowed again). I ordered my coffee (ost milk latte, thank you) and had to try something out of their baked goods. They have freshly baked croissants, cakes, and a slew of cookies, including some vegan options. I left with a few of their cookies and boy, I fell in love! Delicious and moist, but also huge; the peanut chocolate chip one was by far my fave (so far). I'll have to go back and try some more, including their cakes which looked delish! Oh, they also have freshly baked breads too!

Very very delicious cookies! Tried a double chocolate and a chocolate chip with dark and white chocolate. They were fresh out of the oven and chocolate was oozing out! Also had an espresso that was well done for a tough coffee purest.
