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.
Au Kouing-Amann is widely praised for its namesake pastry, a buttery, caramelized treat with a crispy crust and a soft, melt-in-your-mouth center, frequently described as the best Kouign Amann in Montreal, with croissants and almond croissants also highlighted; the shop is small and cozy, with limited seating and a tendency toward takeout, while the staff are consistently friendly and helpful; opening hours can be limited or vary by day, so planning ahead is advised; overall, reviews celebrate freshness, balance, and rich butter flavors, making Au Kouing-Amann a must-visit for pastry lovers in Montreal and often worth buying a whole Kouign Amann to take home.
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!

A life-changing viennoiserie experience! The croissant had so many incredibly crisp, thin layers, that you could practically see through, which shattered with every intensely buttery bite. The namesake Kouign Amann was gorgeously buttery & caramelized. Even the apple turnover was remarkable! We went back the next day before heading home & couldn't have been happier! I might move to Montréal just to have access to this incredible bakery!
viennoiseries correctes mais les kouignaman n ont absolument rien à voir avec des vrais kouignaman breton 🙄 pas assez de beurre pas le gout caramélisé du beurre salé & du sucre pas de feuilleté on dirait une brioche...
I know this place is great, but I'm frustrated that I drove all the way from New York to find that this place is closed... no updates to their Google hours. Wouldn't have wasted the trip had I known! Thanks...
An absolute must if you are visiting Montreal! I love that each slice is relatively inexpensive. It's ultra delicious when fresh & hot! Not a place for seating though, so expect to takeaway. Only has 2 tables in the shop & outside is too hot in the summe

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.
Just do yourself a favor & go get a slice of the legendary kouign Aman, you won't regret it. All the pastries tasted were freshly made & delicious & the owner was so kind. Highly recommend.
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 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I've been searching all my life for the best croissant. & this is the place!!! The best croissant in the world!!!! It is amazing. You can taste the savory & sweet butter inside. Which is exactly how I like it. I wish all bakery make the same croissant with lots of butter. The kouign amann was amazing too. I ate too much lol But it's the best. I would come here everyday if I could.
Amazing place, It's a shame that they don't go open that much & close earlier than the times they put online, came all the way from the Netherlands expecting that they were still open as they said online just to get a taste, but they weren't & now I will leave in 3 days without having the opportunity to taste their pastries.
