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 my best friends is a proud Bretonne who went to McGill with me, & she did not hesitate, after a couple bites of kouign amann from this place, to declare that it was ('somehow') better than the best kouign amann in Bretagne. I am not breton but I trust her, & frankly, I'm not even slightly exaggerating when I say that having lived in Montréal for half a decade, Kouign Amann Bakery is the thing that brings me most to Le Plateau; it gets me out of the door on sad days (even if I don't end up going, it's the idea that revives my soul)-it truly is my favourite dessert/pastry/sweet in the entire city.
This place is an institution, & I could not be more proud to live in the same city as it.

Kouign Amann anywhere is the best tasting, richest pastry in any form. Theirs is no exception. Never seen it in this large pie form. Buy a full one to take home. Their heating-up instructions worked great to return it to almost as good as fresh (& DEFINITELY still better than the many stale croissants we kept getting at other shops in Montreal).

Their Kouign amann pastry is phenomenal. You can feel the butter in each layer of the dough. I also enjoyed the cheese croissant

The most deliciously buttery pastry bites in all of Montreal. Their kouign amann is simply the most delectable baked item I have ever tasted in my life. It is the epitome of sweet, caramelized buttery, flaky. Also had an almond croissant which was probably the best croissant I've had. Looked a bit flat & deflated but was just as sweet, buttery, flaky, & delicious as the kouign amann. Both smelt & tasted so good they was gone before I had the chance to take any photos. Truly a must visit bakery.

What a phenomenal pastry shop &, more specifically, pastry itself! One slice was more than enough for the two of us because it's so tremendously buttery, but it's delicious & I wish we could've brought one home with us to share! The almond croissants looked a little flat, but the plain ones looked & smelled good.

One of the best pastry shops around the Plateau Mont Royal. You won't be disappointed trying Kouign Amman. But maybe sometimes they will run out. Apart from Kouign Amman, they have one of the best pain au chocolat in town. Don't miss out the soups if you want to try something hot.

They don't only have the most authentic kouign amann dessert from Brittany, but also the MOST DELICIOUS cheese croissant! Everyone working there is so kind & friendly & you can also have your heavenly pastry inside in one of the two cozy corners. Enjoy!

I dream of the namesake pastry. Excellent kouign amann. Fast service. Come at least an hour before closing to ensure that you get a piece of heaven before they sell out!

I had never before had "kouing-amann". I wish I had gotten more than one piece before the bakery will be on vacation for a month. This is literally the best pastry I have ever tasted.

One of the best little hidden gems in Montreal if you can only get lucky to find their signature pastry the Kouign Amann as it's usually sold out but they said you can order a full pie ahead of time & pick it up to secure your order which I highly recommend because it just might be one of the tastiest treats you've ever tried. Above average Croissants here too & I'm sure all their other stuff is really good as well & reasonably priced 👌🏼 2024 review update has this place still staying on top with a 5 star rating as they just continue to do everything right 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

At the risk of being dramatic, their kouign amann is the best pastry I have ever had & I'm still thinking about it a week later & a full country away.
