While the space is compact and popular enough to sometimes feature lines, the overall experience is considered a must-try for any pastry lover visiting the city.

Après voir qu'ils ouvraient un peu plus tard & qu'à ma grande surprise ils vendaient enfin du Kouign Amann en plusieurs portions. Je fais le choix d'acheter 2 portions. Quand la vendeuse m'a montré de loin qu'elle avait un dernier morceau faisant 2 portions, j'ai dit ok.
Qu'elle fut ma déception en rentrant chez moi.
2 portions d'enfant aurait dû t-elle me dire.
7,15$ eh vraiment déçu.
J'ai même trouvé que la qualité n'y était plus.
Je pense que je vais me rabattre au Far Breton dont le Kouchner Aman est bien plus généreux & goûteux.
Je suis vraiment déçu car pour moi & depuis longtemps, c'était LA place pour manger un Kouign Amann.
Attention, c'est mon simple avis.

Cozy little bakery. The smell of butter once you enter is amazing.There is not much seating, & it gets filled up pretty quickly. We had a slice of kouing amann (butter cake), & I heard the angels sing. It was crispy on top but with a soft middle. Very fresh. I have to come back for the croissants &, of course, another slice of the kouing amann.

I split an almond croissant with my friend & it was the single best croissant I have ever had in my life. I don't even like almond croissants, & it was better than any other croissant I ever had. My friend offered me the last bite of his half, & I couldn't even be polite before letting it melt in my mouth. Combine that with the friendliest, most hard-working staff you've ever met & you will find yourself writing a 5 star review as quick as me.
