At 316 avenue du Mont-Royal Est, we've been loving the kouing-amann for over 30 years.
A true neighborhood café, the owner and employees work together to offer gourmet pastries (made with passion!), fresh sandwiches and the famous kouing-amann.
Let yourself be tempted by a moment of greed in a warm family atmosphere that has lasted for nearly three decades.

One of Montreal's best bakeries. Known for their Kouing Amann, which is a baked good I first came across in the Breton region of France. Delicious, but not good for your waistline! Also fantastic croissants.

Their kouign amann has genuinely made me rethink the standard. Absolutely mindblown at how good it is here, even came back & bought a whole kouign amann to bring back to Toronto. Also had their croissant au fromage & it might've one of the best i've had as well. An absolute must when visiting Montreal.

I tried 4 other bakeries & consider this one to offer the best croissant Montreal. The rest of the pastries are amazing too!

The kouign amann is one of the best pastries we've ever had in our lives oh my god. Perfectly soft, sweet, & buttery. It's not overly sweet or greasy, genuinely excellent in every aspect. We also got the butter croissant which was yummy & had a great texture as well as a unique flavour profile - we suspect it may be due to the use of whipped butter? Very cozy atmosphere & service is extremely kind. Cannot wait to come back & eat as much of the kouign amann as possible loll!!

Je suis passée avant hier pour la premiere fois & je suis extrêmement contente de l'avoir fait. La personne à la caisse était d'une gentillesse & d'un service impeccable. J'ai pris presque une piece de chaque & tout était super bon. J'ai grandi à Paris & je vis à New York & je peux vous dire que je n'ai jamais mangé de croissant aux amandes de cette qualité. Leger, bien garni, croustillant, un gout de galette des rois. Je rentre aujourd'hui à NYC & je vais m'arrêter pour reprendre ce croissant !!! Kouing Amann, j'arrive !

Pâtisserie Au Kouing Amann is one of our favourite pastry shops in the city. They have the worst hours (closed Sunday to Tuesday) but their kouign amann are amazing.
Grabbed a kouign amann ($3.25) & croissant au fromage ($3.50). Flaky, delicious goodness. You won't find a better kouign amann!

Located right on Mont Royal Avenue - one of my favorite pedestrian streets in Montréal - this bakery was a standout discovery. I've had kouign-amann before (at O Petit Paris in Montréal & even Dominique Ansel's bakery in New York City), but the one here is by far the best I've ever tasted.
The pastry is baked in a large round, almost like a pie, then cut into wedges to serve. The texture is exactly what you want: incredibly crispy on the outside, soft & tender inside. You can order a single slice for $3.25 CAD, a small round (about 6 servings) for $18 CAD, or a large (about 12 servings) for $33 CAD.
The shop is open Wednesday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. - so plan to arrive early before they sell out. The woman at the counter was very friendly & spoke both English & French, which made ordering simple.
They also offer a few other pastries (pain au chocolat, cinnamon roll, berry tart, plain croissant), but trust me - you come here for the kouign-amann. It's outstanding, & I highly recommend making a stop if you're in Montréal.

You know you've found the right bakery when the air smells like buttery heaven. Most people seemed to go for for their croissants (& yes, they're fantastic), but it surprises me how often the kouign amann gets overlooked. Their medium-sized version (about 6-7 portions) is something I could happily devour all on my own. It's rich & buttery, yet never feels heavy. I've never been to Brittany, but I imagine this is about as close to the real thing.

Really excellent options, despite a small selection. The Kouing Amann is so good, feel like you could eat a small one to yourself. Also, the chocolate croissant is the best in the area. The workers are super nice & passionate about what they do here. Small seating options, but there's street seating (until mid-October)

I wasn't too interested in another bakery. But one bite of the kouign amann had my partner & I coming back multiple days in a row. I've never had a better dessert - they're like a cross between croissants & custard. Immaculate 👌🏼

La Pâtisserie Au Kouign Amann, située au 316 avenue du Mont-Royal Est dans le quartier du Plateau-Mont-Royal à Montréal, est une véritable institution pour les amateurs de viennoiseries. Depuis plus de 35 ans, cette petite boulangerie bretonne séduit les gourmands avec ses créations artisanales, notamment son célèbre kouign-amann.
A mon avis: les meilleurs Croissants a Montreal !
🥐 Les Croissants
Bien que le kouign-amann soit la star de la maison, les croissants de la pâtisserie méritent également le détour. Ils sont réputés pour leur pâte feuilletée légère & beurrée, offrant une texture à la fois croustillante à l'extérieur & fondante à l'intérieur. Les croissants nature, au chocolat ou aux amandes sont particulièrement appréciés des clients.
🥐 Le Kouign-Amann
Le kouign-amann, spécialité bretonne, est un incontournable de la maison. Cette pâtisserie, composée de pâte à pain, de beurre & de sucre, est cuite jusqu'à obtenir une croûte caramélisée & un coeur fondant. Au Kouign Amann, il est proposé en format individuel ou en grande galette, découpée en parts généreuses. Les clients s'accordent à dire que c'est l'une des meilleures versions de Montréal.

I visited Kouign Amann Bakery in the heart of the Plateau with a good friend, & it was a delicious little escape. Their namesake pastry-the Kouign-amann-was perfectly caramelized & buttery, easily one of the best I've had. We also tried their croissants, impossibly light & flaky. It's a cozy spot with just a few tables, ideal for sharing pastries & good conversation. A true taste of Brittany!

What a delicious selection of pastries! I was in line at around 10:45 & got in to order by 11am on a saturday. I suggest going earlier in the day if you can because they had already run out of almond croissant & chocolatines. I grabbed the last regular croissant as well.
My favourite has to be warm kouing
amann slice! Although it tastes more bready than croissant-y, the top & bottom was crunchy & glazed which added to the fluffyness of the center. The raisin bread itself & regular croissants were also light & airy! However, the only pastry i wasnt fond of was the milk bread. This bread was stuffed with some chocolate but the texture just didnt suit my taste.
I would definitely be back earlier next time to try the almond croissant & chocolatine!

Nothing special. For reference, B Patisserie makes a more flavorful & better-textured Kouing-Amann, & Arsicault makes a better beurre croissant (both are in San Francisco)
