Review Summary

Au Kouing Amann is widely celebrated as an essential Montreal destination, with many visitors calling it the best bakery they have ever experienced. The signature kouign amann is frequently described as a heavenly masterpiece, noted for its perfect balance of a caramelized, crispy exterior and a rich, buttery, soft interior. Beyond the namesake pastry, the almond croissants and various other viennoiseries are highly praised for their freshness, delicate texture, and high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is consistently described as cozy and welcoming, complemented by exceptionally kind and professional service. 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.

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.

I don't know how people in this city stay so skinny with a place like this around. We've never had Kouign Amann & it was so good, we came back multiple times on our 9 day trip. The signature offering is very buttery with a nice crispy surface somewhat similar to a good croissant. I wouldn't visit Montréal without sampling this place.
