Best Kouign Amman I have ever had, hands down. Everything was clearly freshly baked & made with high quality ingredients- you can taste the difference. We will definitely be back for more.

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.

Amazing. Crunchy outside.
Spent two nights in the fridge, reheat with air fryer, still very good. Nothing beats it fresh.

Amazing fresh pastries! A Must try is the kouign-amann! An incredible taste that you will crave again once you've tried it. We came right in the morning & there was plenty available. The almond croissants were 10/10!

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.

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.

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.

We tried the small Kouign-Amann, which comes with six perfect pieces-the absolute perfect size for our family. It was served fresh, crispy, & warm, with that flawless balance of caramelized crunch & buttery, flaky layers.
