Still dreaming about the kouign amann. It was served warm, perfectly flaky, buttery, & absolutely delectable!! We loved it so much that we came back twice during our visit. We even took a slice to go, & it was just as delicious later. Easily one of the most memorable pastries we've had while on our trip to Montreal.

Really amazing pastries. The namesake is so good, incredibly rich. The cheese croissant was also terrific - perfectly airy & flaky.

The space leaves a lot to be desired - not from the ovens & only two small tables. No matter. We took it to go & ate in a nearby park.

We weren't sure what to expect with the kouign-amann but our slices were buttery, warm, & delicious! We lucked out & 1 of the 2 tables was available for us to enjoy them in store.
