Les Glaceurs

Order the Pâté à Biscuit cupcake… worth every calorie! Take it to go and enjoy it in front of the notre dome

I have heard of Les Glaceurs and my friends have raved about their cupcakes and ice cream. I have dying to try their ice cream since they sell Le Bilboquet ice cream. It was very hard to decide what flavour I should get because they had so many! I ended up deciding with red velvet ice cream. It was delicious and very creamy! There were chunks of cream cheese and crumbled red velvet cupcake. Their cupcakes also looked very good as well! I have tried their chocolate cupcake at the Robert Bourassa location, but it wasn’t that great. Maybe this location has better cupcakes?
TIPS: Free wifi, stamp card, lots of seating and a chalkboard wall you can write on!

The red velvet cupcake is work a trip to Montréal.
I fell in love with this place many moons ago and have taken every opportunity to get my hands on these out-​of-​this-​world amazing cupcakes.
Their ice cream flavors are pretty darn special too. Try and limit yourself to the cute miniature cone. It’s cute, but you will want a full scoop along with the Instagram worthy pic with the miniature cone.
Ok, back to the red velvet cupcake. It is topped with a cherry flavored and shaped marzipan. The cream cheese icing is not too sweet and perfected balanced the moist cake. It is perfection and daydream worthy. When in Montréal or when hearing a friend visiting Montréal, make sure they bring you a little peace of heaven a la cupcake!

Delicious ice cream. Prices were reasonable. It is hard for me to have ice cream that I do not like. You can’t go wrong with ice cream anywhere.
The flavors were unique which is a plus as well. I like experimenting with ice cream.
On a hot day in Montréal, I recommend coming here. There is free Wi-​Fi as well. They sell cupcakes too. but I did not indulge in cupcakes. only ice cream :)

I’ll start of by saying what was good close to the church and cold drinks. Everything else was terrible including the cupcakes. Got in line and took them over 15 mins to serve a cupcake with 3 staff members. 5 – 6 people left as well. Not sure if was ruling is out or just service. After we got our cupcakes, served us dirty forks. It has chocolate on the back. I’m sure there are better cupcake locations. We found a nice tea place next door and a few nice cafes in the area while we were walking. Worst cupcake experience ever.

One of my favourite places to visit every time in Montréal. Like it that the cup cakes are not too sweet. Just the right mix. The place gets crowded during the tourist season. Nice stop for a bite and a washroom break after the Notre Dame visit

Bought four cupcakes to share with my husband for his birthday. The cupcakes are small and very pretty… quite gourmet. My initial thought was that they’d be dry and bland (coming from LA, I’m used to giant cupcakes topped with an insane amount of frosting) but to my surprise they were moist and rich. Much sweeter than I expected, in fact. A couple of them were cream filled, which I also didn’t expect but was happy to find. Very tasty. The shop is located in the Old Port so traffic and parking can be a pain but if you’re in the area and want a sweet treat, definitely walk over and grab a cupcake and ice cream scoop. You shouldn’t be disappointed.

Stopped to try the ice cream and we were not disappointed. Be sure to try the «Brou Ha Ha» flavor. Of course we had to take some cupcakes to go. My favorite: the salted caramel.

The most amazing ice-​cream I’ve ever had. Went with my partner we went back for more as soon as we were done our first two scoops. I had the mango and strawberry gelato scoops.

Stopped in for some dessert after a great dinner down the street at Verses. It was half an hour before closing so the cupcake selection was a bit thin. Good thing I was in the mood for ice cream! I was still full from dinner so wanted it to go. Unfortunately, they don’t serve ice cream to go here. Hard to believe, but I was the first to ask for this from the person working. Understandably, since this is a major tourist area, everyone (except me) just eats their ice cream immediately. They were as accommodating as they could be putting one container on top of another and it made it back to my hotel room in solid form. Very happy it did because this was among the best mint chip ice creams I’ve ever had.

We stopped here for a to-​go cupcake while walking down to the old town.
We ended up sitting in and enjoying the smell that permeates through this delightful little bakery.
This is a really nice we café/​bakery in the heart of Montréal.
The staff are also very accommodating.

Picked up half a dozen cupcakes for the Easter weekend. I got to enjoy half of the «Caramel Sale» and the «Red Velvet». I’ll be honest, the Caramel Sale was out of this world good but the red velvet was pretty good too!
I think war can be stopped if we just delivered thousands of these cupcakes to them.
Finally a cupcake place with actually really good cupcakes! Price-​tag is OK, shame there’s none in Laval…

Décor, it is nicely decorated although depending on the time, you may not find a seat since there aren’t that many chairs available (I think roughly 15 spots).
Price, seems a bit high for a cupcake personally. It is a bit easier to swallow when you order half a dozen or a full dozen.
Food, we got six cupcakes and I thought they were all pretty good. I think this is a personal preference, but I liked that there was a lot of icing on the cupcake.
Service, there is no service here. You order your cupcake and take a seat wherever you like. There is water to the side if you wanted some (there are pitchers and cups).
We come here each time we visit Montréal. No issues suggesting the place if anyone wants cupcakes.

Les glaceurs, stratégiquement bien placé dans une zone touristique, fera le bonheur des petits touristes de passage en faisant guise de salon de thé tout mignon.
Leurs produits ?
— des glaces maison, j’ai testé leur glacé au sirop d’érable et elle était vraiment top !
— des cupcakes, et là, j’ai pas trop apprécié, j’ai pris un cupcake spécial St Patrick, à la guiness je crois bien … mais le glaçage du cupcake était vraiment écœurant (je parle en français là, pas en québécois ! ça reste vraiment sur l’estomac et la bouche) … la génoise correcte, mais le glaçage était vraiment difficile à ingurgiter: s
Donc OUI et OUI pour leurs glaces ! … et un petit «ATTENTION» quant à leurs cupcakes, car le glaçage est un glaçage très rustique, très gras, sûrement pas du tout fait avec du philadelphia, c’est du glaçage au beeeuurre … pouark.
L’endroit est mignon, sans plus, et l’accueil peut paraître étouffant car notre serveuse du moment était très très enjouée :)

A little cupcake/​ice cream shop steps away from Notre Dame Basilica.
Vanilla gelato was good.
Sorbets were too sweet for my liking.
I didn’t try their cupcakes but i did have a latte (rather have tim hortons)

There are no better cupcakes in Montréal. Les Glaceurs is my absolute favourite. Their red velvet is their best seller, with good reason. It’s a perfect balance between chocolate and cream cheese. It is so deliciously moist and creamy. They have a «flavour of the month» which my boyfriend and I tried every one for a year. They were all amazing!
They have 3 locations, so if you’re close to one, be sure to stop in and have your sweet tooth satisfied!

As my taxi took me from the airport to my hotel in Vieux Montréal we passed Les Glaceurs. As sweat dripped down my back I knew the first thing I wanted to do after dropping off my luggage was to find my way back here for a scoop of ice cream. I didn’t know they were also a cupcake shop, and spent a few tormented moments once I arrived debating between the beautiful sweets (specifically the Coco-​Lime, Thé Vert, and Choco-​Menthe) and the luscious looking ice cream options (including a triple berry sorbet and some cake-​y, caramel-​y flavor too that I’m STILL thinking about). In the end I settled for one scoop of pistachio on a sugar cone dipped in chocolate (FYI: despite being in a queue of all French-​speakers, I ordered in English, and had no problems)… and it was perfect in every way possible. The pistachio wasn’t in it’s «traditional» green state, but a blissful white. It was super chunky with pistachio nuts, and had both that sweet and moderately salty flavor that was perfect on such a hot day. It also tasted even more fabulous once I hit that chocolate, crunchy cone part!
I will mention that the queue was enormous; and, the more people that joined it, the more frazzled the girls behind the counter seemed. Still, despite being obviously rushed, they were super efficient!
I had planned on going back each day that I was in Montréal, because I really needed to bust through a couple of those cupcakes; alas, I didn’t have the time. When I’m back though, I’ve got a date with some of those baked goods for sure!

Un seul mot: décadent.
Cet endroit m’a fait changé d’avis au sujet de ces petites pâtisseries qu’on appelle cupcake. Je vous recommande particulièrement ceux à la crème brûlée (disponible l’hiver seulement), ou encore gâteau au fromage et bleuet (saveur du mois de mars). Un délice véritable. Il y a aussi les red velvet qui sont tout simplement savoureux.
N’écoutez pas les critique de certains Unilocaleurs américains qui prétendent que les cupcakes ici sont trop sucré et que le service est lent. Ils ont tord. Les saveurs sont parfaitement balancée et le service est rapide.
Je recommande.

Les Glaceurs, l’endroit parfait pour une petite douceur ! Selon moi, c’est la meilleure place pour déguster un cupcake ! Ayant eu l’occasion de tester d’autres endroits, ce que j’apprécie ici c’est qu’ils sont bien moelleux, et le glaçage du dessus est vraiment savoureux et léger, ce n’est pas une grosse couche de beurre sucrée et lourdé sur l’estomac! J’ai testé celui saveur praliné ainsi que celui saveur citron, un seul mot à dire, délicieux, je vous les conseille !
De plus, ils sont joliment fait, c’est toujours sympa de pouvoir en amener, à un brunch ou goûter!
Possibilité de manger sur place également et prix abordables.

Prices are a bit steep (~$ 3 each for a small cup of hot chocolate and a small cup of cappuccino), but they’re strong in taste.
A good stop to make after visiting the basilica!

Je n’ai visité Les Glaceurs qu’à une seule reprise, mais j’ai bien aimé l’expérience et j’y retournerai très certainement. Tout sourire, les employées sur place ont répondu à mes questions avec beaucoup d’entrain et m’ont fait d’excellentes suggestions. J’en suis ressortie avec deux délicieux cupcakes, dont un au caramel salé qui me fait encore saliver!
Seul hic, comme j’y étais allée en fin d’après-midi, plusieurs saveurs n’étaient déjà plus disponibles.

I had the most amazing cupcake here ever! Their size is smaller than usual and it is more expensive than usual. $ 3.75 for one little cupcake! I mean little! But you’d be surprised by how heavenly moist to the core it is, and how creamy the topping is without being excessively sweet (so sweet that it stings your tongue kind I mean). Cupcakes are regularly replenished and are so well presented. I am glad I only had one so I can forever dream about coming to Montréal to eat it. If I had two I may not say the same.

I have to say that I don’t really get the cupcake trend, and I’m glad it seems to be winding down. What’s so great about a cake in miniature? I’d much rather have a slice of a large cake than a small, dried-​out one with a whole bunch of stuff piled on top.
Okay, enough grousing. The décor here is pretty adorable and the cupcakes were actually decent, though there was way too much icing and the whole thing was too sweet for me. We got the maple flavored one, which came with maple buttercream, a syrup drizzle and some candied nuts. It was fine. I would have rather ordered ice cream, but the weather (cold and rainy) didn’t seem suited for a frozen dessert.
Bonus star (it really deserves two): unlike a number of places in Old Montréal, no one batted an eye when we paid a $ 4 check with a credit card.

My friend and I walked on over for some dessert after eating lunch at Olive et Gourmando. Les Glaceurs serves the most heavenly, delightful, enjoyable, scrumptious, delectable, soft, fluffy, yummy, and visually appetizing cupcakes I have come across in Montréal! An added bonus: They sell Bilboquet ice cream AND Macarons! What else could a woman need? Seriously.
For the longest time, Itsi Bitsi has been my all-​time favourite for cupcakes, but now… they have some serious competition!
I tried Les Glaceurs’ Red Velvet (instant winner), and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough — both were good, but the Red Velvet stole my heart.

Ok, je suis devenue cupcakes addicted ! J’ai essayé le framboise-​chocolat blanc et c’était à couper le soufflé. Cette fois-​ci j’y suis allée après le travail, petite musique d’ambiance, quelques clients attablées et le wi-​fi !
Franchement sympa avec un bon bouquin, une tasse de thé pour se relaxer !

J’aime bien leur cupcake red velvet sorte de chocolat avec une grande quantité de colorant rouge. Le glaçage de celui-​ci est au fromage à la crème. C’est le moins sucré de leurs cupcakes (de ceux que j’ai goûtés, du moins) et c’est le seul pour lequel j’y retourne, toutefois très rarement, parce que c’est plutôt coûteux.
C’est l’endroit où Les glaceurs se trouve qui, sans doute, détermine ses prix élevés le Vieux-​Montréal étant un quartier très touristique, bordé du Palais de justice et du quartier des affaires en plus ! Toutefois, je concède que c’est une belle situation pour un tel commerce, en bordure de la cathédrale Notre-​Dame. (L’autre emplacement, au centre-​ville, est nouveau et je né l’ai pas encore visité c’est encore un coin hautement fréquenté, au ras l’Université McGill.)
Attention: vers la fin de la journée (les 17:00 passées), les choix peuvent être très limités.

Super beau, super sucré mais super bon!
À déguster à n’importe quelle heure de la journée.
N’hésitez pas à passer commande pour profiter des délicieux cupcakes aux goûts d’alcools bien connu!
Différents choix de glaces également, le tout pouvant être accompagné par un thé ou café…
