Boulangerie Roma

In life one of the many pleasures for people is dessert. In the province of a Quebec I have made the observation the last 10 years living here that Quebeckers in general are big fans of dessert. For me dessert is not so much of a necessity but rather once in a while experience. However when I crave dessert I turn for something above average and of high quality. I’m not the kind to go in the packaged cookies section of a grocery store. I consider Chips Ahoy, Vachon, Little Debbie’s, Joe Louis and all that mass produced dessert in the grocery store complete and utter chemical garbage.
Back to Boulangerie Roma I’d consider this the kind of place in which I would frequent for dessert. A Boulanger who understands the art of simple cookies, pastries and sweet delights are the stuff in which you can close your eyes, POP one in your mouth and think your mind is smiling!
My visit I had a simple cannoli after dinner down the street. These special little tubes with cream are a Montréal competition of which Italian Boulangerie can do a better version. I don’t profess to be an expert on these or know a good one from a very exceptional one but it tasted delicious to me. Maybe I need someone who knows more to explain what makes a heavenly cannoli.
Also offered was a huge selection of Italian style cookies. Also they had prepared pizza to go which would make for an awesome meal.
Need to come back and stock up for a party or pig out sweet fest.

My family and I found this place after I would trade my salami sandwiches at lunch for my friend’s pizza while I was in elementary school. Somehow my mom found out about it and asked my friend’s mom where she got it — and then the whole family was turned on to their items.
From plain tomato sauce pizza to cannoli, there are some very tasty goods that will satisfy many tastes. We usually order an eggplant and olive pizza, which has marinated eggplant and deliciously salty kalamata olives. They also have some dense, sweet and slightly tart, lemon cookies — but if you only have room for one item, get a square of pizza. I could eat it every day and not get tired of it, that’s how good it is.

This review for Roma boulangerie is strictly for the «ice scream» the worst ever. It is possibly old, not enough served to make fresh? But it is not worth the $ 4.00 a styro cup, (no cones) that you will inevitably through away after one small plastic spoon half full… awful, I cannot describe, but nothing like an Italian gelato!
On the up side, they make wonderful croissants, chocolatine’s, pizza’s maybe slightly overdressed, but good none the less.

Fresh tasty big puffy gorgeous Italian baked goods can be found here, in addition to the fresh pizza Gibran mentions in his wildly succinct review ;) This is a takeout spot, not sit down, but you can mosey down the street to one of the sweetest little parcs in town with your eats. You can also get nice gelato here, and cakes, and the small crowds of Italians always leaving here with big white boxes full of pastries attest to the deliciousness to be found within.
