Their kouign amann is a must try in Montreal. Perfect sweetness with butter & crispy texture. I wish I got more than just one piece..

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!!

We tried Kougin-Amann, it's basic & delicious. It was a different taste like salty but sweet, idk. The service was pretty fast but there's just one cashier, so I can imagine that often times there's a long queue. The hot chocolate was decent as well, thank you!

My mouth had not yet tasted such a delight until I bit into this crispy yet pillowy bomb of butter & caramel. As crisp & delicate as the autumn leaves outside the shop window, & as enchantingly sweet as an afternoon rain when you have to clean the house but do a crossword puzzle instead. I shall dream of tomorrow, when I eat the other half.

This place is barely ever open so I'm glad I finally made it here for a breakfast pastry. The kouign amann is both crunchy on the outside & yet fluffy on the inside, sweet without being saccharine, absolutely delicious & totally worth the visit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

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!

This kouign amann is the best I've ever had... Frankly, it might even be the best pastry I've ever had. Perfectly balanced sweetness with the salt from the butter, crunchy exterior with a soft & flavorful interior. Absolutely delicious straight out of the oven. It was so good I had to buy a whole one to bring home, & even still, I would go back to Montreal in an instant just for this bakery!

Beautiful light & airy croissants. & of course, the cake that they are known for...kouing-amann is very delicious & buttery & slightly sweet. All enjoyed with our Café au lait. There are only two tiny tables there so it's really mostly takeout.

Incredible amann pastry. It was my first time trying it, it's like a honey cruller on the inside, fluffy & buttery & a crispy outer layer like a croissant but with a thicker sweet coating wrapping around it.

Must try.

One of my best friends is a proud Bretonne who went to McGill with me, & she did not hesitate, after a couple bites of kouign amann from this place, to declare that it was ('somehow') better than the best kouign amann in Bretagne. I am not breton but I trust her, & frankly, I'm not even slightly exaggerating when I say that having lived in Montréal for half a decade, Kouign Amann Bakery is the thing that brings me most to Le Plateau; it gets me out of the door on sad days (even if I don't end up going, it's the idea that revives my soul)-it truly is my favourite dessert/pastry/sweet in the entire city.
This place is an institution, & I could not be more proud to live in the same city as it.

We made a quick pitstop here on our walk to La Banquise. This bakery was delicious 😋 Everything we tried was so buttery & perfectly not too sweet. I've never had a kouign amann that looked like a slice of pie but it was a welcome surprise because it was the best kouign amann I've ever had. I'd definitely come again.

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.

I've been searching all my life for the best croissant. & this is the place!!! The best croissant in the world!!!! It is amazing. You can taste the savory & sweet butter inside. Which is exactly how I like it. I wish all bakery make the same croissant with lots of butter. The kouign amann was amazing too. I ate too much lol But it's the best. I would come here everyday if I could.

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!
