Carlota Boulangerie Mexicaine

I’ve been coming to this place for over quite some time now, and I love it every single time. As a Mexican who has lived here for over 12 years, and after trying tamales and conchas all over the city, these are by far the most authentic and flavorful. Every time I go, the bread is fresh and the oaxacan hot chocolate is fantastic. I also love walking in and hearing Spanish being spoken, as well as the warm, familiar sound of strong Spanish accents. It feels like being transported to Mexico. That’s how magical this little, cozy boulangerie is. I particularly appreciate that this place is woman owned and that she hires a diverse workforce and she is transparent about her locally sourced ingredients and recipes. After being a loyal customer for a while, I recently attended one of her pan de muerto workshops with my son, and we absolutely loved it. It wasn’t just a baking class; it was also a history lesson with a dose of food chemistry and more. It lasted four hours and was worth every penny. And to those leaving negative reviews, it’s disheartening to see people with Hispanic last names trying to diminish a fellow Hispanic’s business in a world where authenticity is scarce. Ignore the bad reviews , get your tamal, order your dirty horchata (coffee with horchata) and buy happy! Park by the high school, no there’s no seating (but who cares?! You are there for the food not for the sitting) and as you would with every other bakery go there early! Sharing a pic of the inside of my bread for those who say her bread is bad. It isn’t in my eyes.

My wife and I stumbled upon this place while walking around the neighborhood on a weekend visit to Montreal. This city has always been a favorite food destination for us and Carlota only reaffirms that. We were originally going to get one pastry to split, but everything looked so good we ended up getting three. We ordered two pan de Muertos, one with orange cream and one with spiced chocolate ganache, and the roule au dulce de leche. Everything somehow tasted even better than it looked. The spiced chocolate ganache took us back to our travels in CDMX and Oaxaca, and the orange cream pastry was the perfect hint of citrus, with the lightest, most delicious bread to compliment it. The dulce de leche pastry was everything we hoped: indulgent globs of caramel enveloped in flakey buttery layers of laminated dough. We also impulse-bought a horchata to go which was perfection, you could tell the cinnamon used was top quality (and all the other ingredients for that matter). The level of service matched the quality of the food. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, and they even individually packaged the pastries when I asked for a bag instead of a box. This place has become an instant tradition for us every time we visit the city. Happy to support such a great local business, and the wonderful people behind it.

They offer a great variety of confections and pastries that are otherwise hard to find in Montreal and they make them quite well too! I would recommend that everyone should try one of their pastries that have dulce de leche. Personally, the roulé keeps me coming back here for more!

Great little Mexican bakery! I like the moka cafe and the chocolate brioche! You can sit outside and enjoy your drink! Service outstanding!!!

A gem, a gift, a delight of a bakery to have in Montreal 💚 🤍 ♥️ how lucky are we to taste quality Mexican ingredients treated with such delicious care! I've been 4 times now and each time I'm increasingly delighted. The guava (or pineapple) rolls are sinful, from the buttery flaky dough to the freshest cheese and delicate fruit purée, clearly the slow fermentation of the dough pays off 🤩 I recently tasted their 🌽 muffin and now I have a new obsession, it's naturally sweet from the elote and the texture is buttery with a nice crisp on the top 👍 I'm still dreaming about their chocolate filled pan de muerto, I'll be eagerly awaiting autumn to have it again. And don't sleep on the beverages! From the dirty horchata to the mocha with Oaxaca chocolate, everything is sooooo evenly balanced - coffee comes through, never overly "milky", with fragrant chocolate or cinnamon. As for the service? I've always been treated with a smile and friendly advice 😁 The only downside... I live 45 minutes away 😅 Muchas Gracias to chef Elena Reygadas and the team for brining Mexican flavours and joy to Montreal!

stopped by around 3pm and the two girls working were literally angels💞 i bought the guava danish and omg… so yummy!! i might cry. not sorry. 🤭 definitely will be coming back :))

A little piece of Mexico in Montreal! ❤️ What a delicious bread! I tried the pan de muerto, it was definitely like eating it in Mexico, the flavor is amazing, extremely soft. I tried the chocolate one which was amazing. I highly recommend this place. I would definitely go back to try the other options. Ale was at the counter, she is amazing! It was my first time there, she was very friendly and guided me through the options. Great attitude!✨

We swung by for some of their famous Pan de Muertos, and we do not regret the detour to this wonderful Mexican bakery. With a light and airy texture, each bite is soft and satisfying with a crisp, sweet exterior while remaining pillowy inside. We also picked up a couple of incredibly flaky and buttery danishes, and we can't decide which flavor we loved more.
