Just off the Jarry metro, Le P’tit Atelier lives up to its name: a compact, unpretentious bakery and pastry shop that’s become a reliable go-to for Villeray locals—and a worthy detour for anyone else. The selection ranges from viennoiseries and rustic breads to pâtisserie-style desserts, with a steady rotation of seasonal specials. Among the standouts: a tiramisu with actual depth, a tangy passion fruit tart that walks the line between sharp and sweet, and a vanilla rum baba that nails the texture if not the punch. The almond chocolatine is often praised as one of the city’s best, though freshness can vary. On the savoury side, sandwiches and quiches round out the menu. It’s not flashy, but that’s kind of the point—Le P’tit Atelier focuses on technique, flavour, and fair pricing. Whether you’re fuelling up before a bus ride or lingering with a coffee, this spot delivers on comfort and craft.
