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.

Review Summary

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.

Lovely little spot to stop at on the way to Mount Royal. Everything is extremely fresh & made with care, the pricing is very good especially considering the high quality of their pastries. Definitely our new favourite spot when visiting Montreal.

You definitely need to check out this place for it's namesake pastry. You can either get one piece or a larger pie. Delicious. & very inexpensive.

Very attractive smell when you come to the bakery store. Pastries are good, but basically only for take out. Always packed with customers, most likely no seats.

The kouing amann cake was amazing! Buttery, sweet, chewy, bouncy, & slightly crisp on the outside. Heaven

Flour, butter & sugar? I’m down!

Excellent Kouign Amann & almond croissants. They’re both buttery, flaky & hard to beat in the city. The Kouign Amann can also be bought as a whole cake or half.

I see myself dropping by whenever I’m around.

They know exactly what they are doing, hands down one of the best cafés in the plateau area. Their Kouing Amann are just like the ones in Bretagne.

Amazing pastries. The best thing I had was the regular croissant nature. It wasn't too busy on a Tuesday morning when I went but I hear that the lines can be crazy.
