Their kouign amann is a must try in Montreal. Perfect sweetness with butter & crispy texture. I wish I got more than just one piece..

One of my favorite bakery finds over the past year was this little bakery on Avenue Mont-Royal.

Of course the thing to get is the treat that lends the bakery its name, the kouign amman- a flaky cake with a hard shell & soft interior hailing from Brittany. If you want to get a slice to enjoy, don't make the same mistake I did & order the'small/petit'- that would get you a small cake, which is still a rather large thing to eat in one sitting. Then again, there are many worse mistakes one could make.

The other heads up is that there's only seating for two or maybe three groups, so maybe plan on picking up something to enjoy on a picnic.

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.

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!!

Love the pastries here! Initially got the Almond crossaint & this raisin/orange pinwheel. The almond crossaint was freshly made & was the highlight for me! Realized that the bakery is specialized in making Kouign-amann [thus the name lol] so i ordered a slice. It was very yummy but a little too heavy for me! My boyfriend very much enjoyed it though! Should def make this a stop if you are travelling to Montreal!

This place is barely ever open so I'm glad I finally made it here for a breakfast pastry. The kouign amann is both crunchy on the outside & yet fluffy on the inside, sweet without being saccharine, absolutely delicious & totally worth the visit.

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.

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A True Montreal Gem - Absolutely Delicious!

Pâtisserie Au Kouing Amann is one of the most memorable bakeries we have ever visited, & it deserves every bit of a 5-star rating. If you love pastries, this place is an absolute must. The moment you walk in, the air is filled with the rich, buttery aroma of freshly baked goods, & you know you're in for something special.

We tried their famous kouign amann, & it was perfection - beautifully caramelized on the outside, flaky & tender inside, with just the right balance of sweetness & butter. It's one of those pastries you remember long after you've finished eating. We also sampled a few other treats, & everything was consistently fresh & full of flavor.

The bakery itself has a cozy, authentic feel, & the staff were warm, welcoming, & happy to help with suggestions. You can tell they take pride in what they make. It's not a huge space, but it feels like a little hidden gem tucked into the heart of Montreal.

This place alone is worth a detour if you're visiting the city. I would come back in a heartbeat & highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates top-quality pastries. Easily one of the best bakery experiences in Canada!

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!

Absolutely amazing!! I can't sing enough praises for Au Kouign Amann -- this petite, no-frills bakery is serving up some of the best pastries I've ever had. You, of course, have to get their signature item, the kouign amann. Unlike most kouign amanns you find in the US / Canada, they bake the full-size pastries & cut them into slices vs. making single-serving mini kouign amanns. This helps preserve the buttery, flaky texture in the center, while still highlighting the crunchy crust & sweet / savory syrup coating. The pastries are certainly sweet from the caramel, but they also have a great saltiness & savoriness from the salted butter; it's also extremely dense & will easily fill you up, so I'd recommend splitting it if you wanted to try anything / anywhere else.

I don't know if I'll ever make it to Brittany, but I feel like I've had an authentic taste of this classic pastry here; absolutely check out Au Kouign Amann if you're looking for a delicious, but slightly more unique, pastry in Montreal!
