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.
Highly recommend the kouing Amann & croissants. Croissant are buttery & soft while the kouing amann are served warm. Taste remind me of a pineapple upside down cake with no pineapple & less sickly sweet.
I'm a huge fan of bakeries, & this is hands down the best bakery I've ever been to.
During my stay in Montreal, I visited four highly reviewed bakeries, but none of them came close to this place. Everything we tried was incredibly fresh, delicate, & absolutely delicious. It was so good that we finished an entire box of baked goods in about five minutes-& immediately went back in to buy more.
The customer service was also excellent-friendly, welcoming, & efficient. The shop itself was very clean & well kept, which made the experience even better.
One thing to note is that the indoor seating area is quite limited, so I'd recommend planning for takeout rather than dining in. Also, be sure to double-check their opening days & hours-they're only open Wednesday through Saturday, & closed the rest of the week.
Highly recommend if you're looking for top-tier baked goods.
We had an amazing experience with this place! We were driving from Ottawa & were going to arrive around 6 PM, even though they close at 4:30. Somehow, they still managed to help us - they took payment online, sent us the receipt, & even arranged for our order to be picked up from the business next door.
That level of service is beyond exceptional. Truly above & beyond what anyone would expect. Honestly, you deserve 10 stars instead of 5!
Highly recommend - thank you again for making it work for us!
Leur café est excellent & leur viennoiseries tout autant.
C'est la première fois que j'y allais & j'ai vite compris pourquoi le café était bondée de clients. Je recommende fortement.
Super belle boulangerie bretonne avec des kouing amann authentiques. Des bons prix, semblable aux boulangeries en France. C'est pas trop sucré, c'est bien beurré, je recommande!
Je n'y était pas allée depuis plus d'un an. Nous avons appelé pour réserver notre Kouing Amann. Le cuisiner à été très sympathique & m'a recommandé de le réchauffer selon les indications marquées sur la boite. J'ai respecté les instructions à la lettre. Quelle déception. La surface était délicieuse mais tout l'intérieur était mou pas feuilleté du tout comme nous en avions l'habitude. Je ne sais pas si c'est pcq que la pâte n'était pas assez cuite ou s'il s'agit d'une nouvelle recette de type brioche qui est franchement inintéressante. Ça ne vaut pas le déplacement depuis Laval. Tellement triste. Il nous reste les 2/3 du gros Kounian Aman on essayera de le cuire plus la prochaine fois. Je m'étais souhaité ça pour mon anniversaire...je ne m'attendais pas à cet état de dégradation de la qualité. Ont ils perdu leur cuisinier ?
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.

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!
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!
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.
