The signature kouign amann is frequently described as a heavenly masterpiece, noted for its perfect balance of a caramelized, crispy exterior and a rich, buttery, soft interior.

While the space is compact and popular enough to sometimes feature lines, the overall experience is considered a must-try for any pastry lover visiting the city.

Not exaggerating, this is the best bakery I've ever been to. Everything was incredibly fresh & flavorful.

I never usually get a plain croissant, but theirs was amazing: buttery, rich, perfectly crispy, & so fresh. Their special pastry was also unlike anything I've had before & is officially my new favorite.

Super friendly staff too. Absolute must-try.

The kouing amman itself is unbelievable-so rich & creamy & sugary & a really surprising joy. We also got a cheese croissant & it was insanely light & delicate-we kept saying that it felt like it was going to float away as we held it. There was a little line but it moved quickly, & the bakery was overall very worth a stop!

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.

Excellent bakery. The Kouing Amman was heavenly & bursting with butter. The almond croissant was classy (see below). Both pastries were served warm & fresh at noon.

Everything in this bakery is pure heaven. This is the gold standard. Correct pricing as well. Their selection is better early as they open. There are two small tables inside. No outside seats. I will be back few more times to try every single item. This place is PERFECT.

Awesome French bakery, everything is made fresh. Capacino coffee Is also available. It's a small place on a main shopping strip. Has a place to sit & enjoy your coffees & pastry. Must try when in Montreal. It's worth the visit. Come early in the morning. Also must stop by the church a couple of blocks up/ Down the street on the same side of the bakery if you believe in God. If not just keep walking.

Honestly the best kouign amann I have had in a long time. It is buttery, crispy, & has that perfect golden color. I really appreciate how the bakery keeps things simple & focuses on doing a few things exceptionally well rather than having a massive, mediocre menu. The vibe is laid back & comfortable, making it a perfect spot to relax. If you are in the area & have a craving for something sweet & authentic, this is the only place you need to visit. A solid addition to the local scene.

This bakery is a hidden gem that deserves way more attention. Every item I have tried so far has been fresh & clearly made with high quality ingredients. The kouign amann is the standout item here, with the perfect caramelized sugar crunch on the outside & a soft center. It is not too sweet, which is a big plus for me. The service is efficient even when the shop gets busy, & the space is kept very clean. It is a great spot to grab a treat before starting the day.

I stumbled upon this place while walking through the neighborhood & I am so glad I did. The pastries are incredibly buttery & flaky, exactly how they should be. It is rare to find a bakery that gets the texture of a kouign amann just right, but this spot has mastered it. The atmosphere is cozy & the staff is very welcoming. I will definitely be making this a regular stop on my weekend mornings from now on. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates quality baked goods.

Dropped by Kouing Amann Bakery yesterday afternoon & left with a box full of goodies. The smell inside is absolutely heavenly & makes it hard to choose just one thing. Everything looked beautiful in the display case, & the taste lived up to the visual presentation. It is clear they take pride in their work. The location is convenient & it is a wonderful place to sit for a few minutes with a coffee & a pastry. I am already planning my next visit to try the rest of the menu.
