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.

8 years ago I stumbled into this Cafe accidentally & had one of the best desserts I had ever eaten. Now 8 years later I had the pleasure of eating it again. Nowhere else I have tried kouign amann comes close to the pastry here. Crackling, chewy crust, & an almost custardy soft inside. 10/10 would eat again. A must eat for any Montreal trip.

We've been talking about this place for 8 years since we stumbled upon it during our first trip. Still as good as we remember it. Can't go to Montreal without a stop here.

I just have to thank you. My second time at the place, I live in Halifax, & I was there in August & now in March. The breads are simply delicious, the croissants melt in your mouth. But what I have to be grateful for is that last Marco I went with my daughter & she took the risk of placing our order in French (her mother tongue is Portuguese, but she learned to read, write, & speak in English). It seemed to me to be one of the chefs who served us & he was super attentive, he realized that she was out of her comfort zone but he let her order & it was great. As a result, she was very proud of her & I just have to thank her & recommend the place. Congratulations.

Wow. One of the best things I've ever eaten. Bought a half large to take home. Followed the instructions.. perfection! In a busy area, so parking is not easy, but worth it. Highly recommended.
