Au 316 avenue du Mont-Royal Est, cela fait plus de 30 ans qu’on aime le kouing-amann.
Véritable café de quartier, patron et employés s’unissent pour proposer chaque jour, des viennoiseries gourmandes (faites avec passion !), des sandwichs frais ainsi que le fameux kouing-amann.
Laissez-vous tenter par un moment de gourmandise dans une ambiance familiale et chaleureuse qui dure maintenant depuis près de trois décennies.
Au Kouing-Amann est largement salué pour sa pâtisserie éponyme, un beurre et caramel croquant avec un intérieur tendre qui fond en bouche, souvent décrit comme le meilleur Kouign Amann de Montréal, et les croissants ainsi que le croissant aux amandes sont également mis en avant; la boutique est petite et chaleureuse, avec peu de places assises et une prédominance du service à emporter, tandis que le personnel est régulièrement apprécié pour sa gentillesse et son efficacité; les horaires peuvent être limités ou variables selon les jours, il faut donc prévoir; globalement, les avis soulignent la fraîcheur, l équilibre et les saveurs beurrées riches, faisant de cette boulangerie une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de viennoiseries à Montréal et souvent digne de revenir pour en ramener un chez soi.
Went to Kouign Amann & tried their signature sliced kouign amann, & omg, it was genuinely one of the best pastries I've had. Perfectly flaky on the outside, soft & moist inside, with rich buttery layers & little bursts of caramelized sweetness in every bite.
The texture was incredible, crisp yet melt-in-your-mouth at the same time, & the flavor was so balanced without being overly sweet. You can really taste the quality & care put into it.
Honestly, it instantly became one of my favorite treats in the city. Definitely worth the hype & already craving another one.
Been getting the Kouing Amann every time I get the chance to buy it (this place does not open every day & sometimes takes a summer break), but every time is as good as the first time I tried it. Ive also had coffee & other pastries. Quality is superio
If you're in Montreal & love pastries, you absolutely have to try Kouign-Amann!
Hands down, this was one of the best pastries I've ever had. The Kouign-amann is simply amazing - perfectly caramelized sugar on the outside with rich, buttery layers on the inside. Crispy, sweet, & melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
We also tried the croissant & the almond croissant, & both were outstanding. The almond croissant is a must-try - flaky, buttery, & generously filled, with sliced almonds on top adding the perfect crunch.
It's a small place & very busy, but that just shows how good it is. Totally worth the wait. A must-visit spot in Montreal for pastry lovers!
The kouign amann is one of the best pastries we've ever had in our lives oh my god. Perfectly soft, sweet, & buttery. It's not overly sweet or greasy, genuinely excellent in every aspect. We also got the butter croissant which was yummy & had a great texture as well as a unique flavour profile - we suspect it may be due to the use of whipped butter? Very cozy atmosphere & service is extremely kind. Cannot wait to come back & eat as much of the kouign amann as possible loll!!
Love the pastries here! Initially got the Almond crossaint & this raisin/orange pinwheel. The almond crossaint was freshly made & was the highlight for me! Realized that the bakery is specialized in making Kouign-amann [thus the name lol] so i ordered a slice. It was very yummy but a little too heavy for me! My boyfriend very much enjoyed it though! Should def make this a stop if you are travelling to Montreal!
Best for Kauing Amann. THey have a very small sitting, sometimes I dont get available. But the pastries tastes over comes all of it. They are one of the best in Montreal. Must try. You will not regret...
Tasty & delicious!
I am definitely coming back.
Unfortunately they only had these two options around 15.00 (it closes 16 30), so next time I'm coming here earliee to try other other pastries.

Located right on Mont Royal Avenue - one of my favorite pedestrian streets in Montréal - this bakery was a standout discovery. I've had kouign-amann before (at O Petit Paris in Montréal & even Dominique Ansel's bakery in New York City), but the one here is by far the best I've ever tasted.
The pastry is baked in a large round, almost like a pie, then cut into wedges to serve. The texture is exactly what you want: incredibly crispy on the outside, soft & tender inside. You can order a single slice for $3.25 CAD, a small round (about 6 servings) for $18 CAD, or a large (about 12 servings) for $33 CAD.
The shop is open Wednesday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. - so plan to arrive early before they sell out. The woman at the counter was very friendly & spoke both English & French, which made ordering simple.
They also offer a few other pastries (pain au chocolat, cinnamon roll, berry tart, plain croissant), but trust me - you come here for the kouign-amann. It's outstanding, & I highly recommend making a stop if you're in Montréal.
The pastries (including the specialty) are good, but the service was uneven over several visits & on one occasion simply rude. We appreciated the kind employees when we encountered them. Limited hours during the week seem like a red flag. There are better bakeries in the neighborhood.
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!
What a delicious selection of pastries! I was in line at around 10:45 & got in to order by 11am on a saturday. I suggest going earlier in the day if you can because they had already run out of almond croissant & chocolatines. I grabbed the last regular croissant as well.
My favourite has to be warm kouing
amann slice! Although it tastes more bready than croissant-y, the top & bottom was crunchy & glazed which added to the fluffyness of the center. The raisin bread itself & regular croissants were also light & airy! However, the only pastry i wasnt fond of was the milk bread. This bread was stuffed with some chocolate but the texture just didnt suit my taste.
I would definitely be back earlier next time to try the almond croissant & chocolatine!
