Au Kouing-Amann

5.0

One of my favorite bakery finds over the past year was this little bakery on Avenue Mont-Royal.

Of course the thing to get is the treat that lends the bakery its name, the kouign amman- a flaky cake with a hard shell & soft interior hailing from Brittany. If you want to get a slice to enjoy, don't make the same mistake I did & order the'small/petit'- that would get you a small cake, which is still a rather large thing to eat in one sitting. Then again, there are many worse mistakes one could make.

The other heads up is that there's only seating for two or maybe three groups, so maybe plan on picking up something to enjoy on a picnic.

Came here on the weekend for the kouing amann & got the chausson aux pommes too. The apple pastry was so light & flaky while being balanced & tart. The kouing amann was so delightfully buttery I was amazed. I will be back for more :) Keep in mind that their coffee machine is down sometimes.

Pâtisserie Au Kouing Amann is one of our favourite pastry shops in the city. They have the worst hours (closed Sunday to Tuesday) but their kouign amann are amazing.

Grabbed a kouign amann ($3.25) & croissant au fromage ($3.50). Flaky, delicious goodness. You won't find a better kouign amann!

Nice little place with this amazing Kouing Amman cake. Croissants were nice & made correctly (crispy & flaky, not bready & dry)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A True Montreal Gem - Absolutely Delicious!

Pâtisserie Au Kouing Amann is one of the most memorable bakeries we have ever visited, & it deserves every bit of a 5-star rating. If you love pastries, this place is an absolute must. The moment you walk in, the air is filled with the rich, buttery aroma of freshly baked goods, & you know you're in for something special.

We tried their famous kouign amann, & it was perfection - beautifully caramelized on the outside, flaky & tender inside, with just the right balance of sweetness & butter. It's one of those pastries you remember long after you've finished eating. We also sampled a few other treats, & everything was consistently fresh & full of flavor.

The bakery itself has a cozy, authentic feel, & the staff were warm, welcoming, & happy to help with suggestions. You can tell they take pride in what they make. It's not a huge space, but it feels like a little hidden gem tucked into the heart of Montreal.

This place alone is worth a detour if you're visiting the city. I would come back in a heartbeat & highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates top-quality pastries. Easily one of the best bakery experiences in Canada!

I visited Kouign Amann Bakery in the heart of the Plateau with a good friend, & it was a delicious little escape. Their namesake pastry-the Kouign-amann-was perfectly caramelized & buttery, easily one of the best I've had. We also tried their croissants, impossibly light & flaky. It's a cozy spot with just a few tables, ideal for sharing pastries & good conversation. A true taste of Brittany!

My family has been to Montreal a couple times ( from USA) & it is now our tradition to buy a kouingaman pie from this bakery! It is flaky, buttery, with just the right amount of a sweetness for a most wonderful dessert pastry! This year we shared it with relatives in Montreal & they are now gonna be hooked with this delicious pastry!

Absolutely amazing!! I can't sing enough praises for Au Kouign Amann -- this petite, no-frills bakery is serving up some of the best pastries I've ever had. You, of course, have to get their signature item, the kouign amann. Unlike most kouign amanns you find in the US / Canada, they bake the full-size pastries & cut them into slices vs. making single-serving mini kouign amanns. This helps preserve the buttery, flaky texture in the center, while still highlighting the crunchy crust & sweet / savory syrup coating. The pastries are certainly sweet from the caramel, but they also have a great saltiness & savoriness from the salted butter; it's also extremely dense & will easily fill you up, so I'd recommend splitting it if you wanted to try anything / anywhere else.

I don't know if I'll ever make it to Brittany, but I feel like I've had an authentic taste of this classic pastry here; absolutely check out Au Kouign Amann if you're looking for a delicious, but slightly more unique, pastry in Montreal!

First time visitor. Bright & dainty place. Truthfully I didn't order their specialty menu item. I went in for an Americano & a fresh Croissant. The croissant was flaky & just the right amount of chewy. There were only two tables & I felt a bit guilty taking up a table just for myself. So I took off a star just because it seems like a place where you grab & go your order. There is a lot of foot traffic & I over heard a lot of customers say that this was their favourite spot! I would go back & try their Kouign Amann. Next time!

The most deliciously buttery pastry bites in all of Montreal. Their kouign amann is simply the most delectable baked item I have ever tasted in my life. It is the epitome of sweet, caramelized buttery, flaky. Also had an almond croissant which was probably the best croissant I've had. Looked a bit flat & deflated but was just as sweet, buttery, flaky, & delicious as the kouign amann. Both smelt & tasted so good they was gone before I had the chance to take any photos. Truly a must visit bakery.

It would've been a shame if they didn't do their namesake justice...but they absolutely knocked it out of the park! Excellent Kouign Amann with a crispy sweet exterior & flaky buttery interior. Would've loved to also try their croissants but they sell out quick!

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.
