Randomly went in here & got whatever the heck that cake looking stuff is & it blew my mind how delicious it was. I can only describe it as moist a bit flaky & buttery & slightly sweet! Goes great with chai latte!

Crispy on the outside, fluffy & moist on the inside. It was slightly too oily (not buttery though) for my liking. But traditional butter cake that tasted delicious. Not my favorite but still a wonderfully well done pastry. Great experience to try.

Kouign Aman Bakery IS Montreal.
Montreal is the best city in Canada, & this is the best place in Montreal, therefore...
The bakery products are ALL incredibly delicious. I just had croissants at Blé Sucré in Paris last year, & I thought I had found the best croissant in the world, but then I had an Almond Croissant from KAB &, oh boy, was that even better!
Regardless of this, if this is your first time visiting here, you HAVE TO get the Kouign Aman... possibly the best (IMHO) bakery product in the whole wide world. No need to say more about this.
&, as if all this wasn't enough... The service! You cannot find more friendly, helpful, & all around nice people than the girls at this place (the Monsieur baker is also super nice). Their service is genuine. You feel taken care of, not just in a transactional way, but they want you to leave satisfied with everything.
If you come to Montreal you cannot leave without coming here.

I've never had Kouign Amann before, but I could easily kill an entire loaf or two of these. Incredibly buttery, salty, & sweet. You honestly cannot ask for a better pastry. Exquisite.

We really liked the Almond Croissant & the Kouign-Amann!

Almond Croissant: This was delicious & featured a distinct layer of almond filling baked right inside.

Kouign-Amann: Fluffy & flaky. The rich butter literally melts & lingers in your mouth.
