I buy frozen butter croissants and bake my own. They are so delicious when warm and fresh that you can`t only eat one.
Here is a true story :
Back a little over 50 years ago there were no such things as large delicious butter croissants in Montreal or all of Canada for that matter. Some pastry and bread shops sold Pillsbury sized crescents.
My friend was in Paris at the time and happened to eat a french croissant in a coffee shop. He loved it and convinced the pastry chef to come to Montreal and introduce us to true butter crusty, melt in your mouth french croissants. They opened up La Croissantery coffee shops. They also sold frozen croissants to large grocery chains. He sold it all and bought several hotels in Amsterdam and built a home on the cliffs of Boracay in the Phillippines.

Really?? They sure are on the more inexpensive side, but slightly under browned imho and shapewise theirs are on the side of being rather unshapen. I had been going to them alot 3 years earlier.
Yes, they are okay in terms of their pastry collection for a chain. Comparatively, my vote goes to https://www.mamieclafoutis.com instead. But my opinion was made about 4 yrs ago, have not been to any of either one since.I'm not saying that this is the best boulangerie in Montreal but it might be the best small chain of boulangeries. The breads and pastries are good and so is the coffee.
It has locations in one of the tunnels in the central train station, Atwater Market, on Mount Royal St., on Ave. Laurier and Cote des Neiges. The train station location is closest to downtown.

I have seen 5 indy bakeries that have gone bust in the last 2 years. The future is factory foods.
