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!

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!

Nothing special. For reference, B Patisserie makes a more flavorful & better-textured Kouing-Amann, & Arsicault makes a better beurre croissant (both are in San Francisco)
