"Montreal is an exceptional pastry city, and there are countless places to get great croissants, mille-feuilles, and more. But in one category, this Plateau bakery reigns supreme — the buttery and slightly sticky Breton pastry in its name, the kouign-amann." - Valerie Silva, Tim Forster

"GO HERE: for excellent croissants, pain au chocolat, quiche, and most importantly, Patisserie Au Kouign-Amann’s namesake pastry. Buttery, sugary, flaky, and tender doesn’t even begin to describe this magical Breton invention. ORDER: everything above, plus the large-format kouign-amann. Sure, you’ve probably seen the pastry in small individual-size wheels, but we can’t get enough of these super-size ones that are baked and sliced into wedges. It may just be the best $2 CAD you’ll ever spend. THE VIBE IS: tiny and unassuming, until you walk into the storefront. It smells like heaven. Before you grab one of the few tables, admire all the shiny golden-brown kouign-amann in the pastry case. PRACTICAL STUFF: Open every day: Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. —Molly Baz" - Condé Nast

"For many, the compact and creaky old school shop on Mont-Royal sets the city’s croissant standard. Well-done simplicity is the key, whether it’s the delicate flakiness of the plain croissant or the glazed glory of the kouign amann." - Heather Vandenengel, JP Karwacki

Finally I visited here! The store was closed when I visit here last time. I was really happy to have the iconic Kouign amann! The shape is unique! I wish I could purchase the whole one. It’s very soft, and buttery. The bottom is slightly caramelized. I would say not crunch but the taste is amazing. I didn’t try another pastries. I want to try some next time!

Cozy little bakery. The smell of butter once you enter is amazing.There is not much seating, and it gets filled up pretty quickly. We had a slice of kouing amann (butter cake), and I heard the angels sing. It was crispy on top but with a soft middle. Very fresh. I have to come back for the croissants and, of course, another slice of the kouing amann.

Very special bread. Salty and sweet caramelized outer layer and chewy inside make it unique to other pastries. It’s generally pretty sweet . Good with strong coffee or tea

They don't only have the most authentic kouign amann dessert from Brittany, but also the MOST DELICIOUS cheese croissant! Everyone working there is so kind and friendly and you can also have your heavenly pastry inside in one of the two cozy corners. Enjoy!

Their Kouign amann pastry is phenomenal. You can feel the butter in each layer of the dough. I also enjoyed the cheese croissant😍

Everything was delicious. My favorite was the almond croissant. Coffee was also good. Enjoyed watching the pastries being made. Feels like a neighborhood treasure. Judging by the foot traffic, has quite the following but not uncomfortably busy or crowded. Just steady.

You have to try the butter cake!!! Very friendly welcoming staff at the front. You can see the bakers preparing the cakes, croissants, etc in the back. Only two tables to sit at though.

I split an almond croissant with my friend and it was the single best croissant I have ever had in my life. I don't even like almond croissants, and it was better than any other croissant I ever had. My friend offered me the last bite of his half, and I couldn't even be polite before letting it melt in my mouth. Combine that with the friendliest, most hard-working staff you've ever met and you will find yourself writing a 5 star review as quick as me.

Before this place I had no idea the kouign amann I had been eating in the US were, in fact, not TRUE kouign amann, but merely mini renditions. On the first bite, I immediately knew this was going to be the highlight of the food I'd had on this trip. Perfect, buttery, flaky, soft goodness all in one delicate pastry, with just a hint of salt. I got two slices but I would have gotten three full cakes to go if I could've figured out a way to pack them in my suitcase. I need to find a similar enough recipe to theirs or I might have to fly to Montreal again JUST to visit this bakery.

This famous bake shop is just so warm and lovely as to require a visit. The first sighting shows it has a very limited menu, which is a good sign of them doing what they do well, and indeed, from first to the famous cream and butter and flour purity. The services great with excellent touches for the many new patrons to the many returning ones, explaining their baked offerings and care for the product that is very visible from the baking prep floor. Products need no explanation, but lovingly explained if you need. As for the food itself, we got everything in the menu almost. Firstly, croissants (which come in regular, raisins, almonds, and cheese outside) are true with honeycomb and layered interiors, as too many places do not care to do. They have a few small breads which we did not get. And of course, the famous Amman , which is found nowhere else, is majestic, worth your try and it comes in slices, if you do not order the whole pie. It is a special Montréal institution.

Firstly, what's with the spelling thing going on? Sometimes it's written Kouing and sometimes it's Kouign. This can be seen inside their restaurant, or even on their website. The last time I came, I can't believe they didn't have their signature Kouign-Amann. I sure was missing out. They're eggy and amazing, and you NEED TO EAT THEM FRESH. They were so, so good. Their almond croissants are also so much better fresh. I had already rated this place a 5/5 eating cold pastries last time. Eating them fresh just reinforces my rating. Enthusiastic 5*!

Do not walk, RUN to Kouing Amann. Having never been to Brittany, I knew this was the closest I would get to finally having an authentic kouing amann- and wow, I don't think I can settle for the variations made of this delicious treat. The bakery has other baked goods, but you cannot leave without their signature item. It is baked to perfection- the amount of salted butter, caramelization, and delicate layers were amazing. I savored each bite and wish I had bought more since they are closed Sundays through Tuesdays. Also for the quality and quantity, you can't beat the price.

Karina V.

Yelp
Hands down one of the best pastries I've ever eaten! The line moves by quickly and the kouign Amann is always warm. I live in the US and they don't make them like this so I wasn't sure what to expect but this blows any other kouign amann out of the water. I went in the summer and there were bees around just FYI but still worth it.

Kay N.

Yelp
The kouing amann is amazing. I highly recommend. The plain croissant is good but lacking in flavor a bit - or buttery flavor. It's super fresh though. The cheese croissant is better bc there's some flavor.

It's so delicious it's like the best thing you've ever had in your life. Get a slice, or get a whole kouign amann- I wish I had! So simple, and so delish. Just do it.

If you never had Kouing Amann, this is the place to get it from! It was my first time having Kouing Amann on my trip to Montreal, and it was a lovely, buttery, flaky, sweet bread dough. Their croissant selections were divine as well, especially the Almond Croissant - YUM! I also ordered a Latte and it paired perfectly with the pastries. This bakery was so good that we ended up coming back before we left Montreal. It's more of a grab-and-go, as there's little to no seating, however the service is quick. Fantastic staff, and prices were really cheap for really delicious food and drinks. Safe to say that I'm stopping by when I return to Montreal - 10/10!!

This is the first time my wife and I have had a Kouing Amann or a Breton butter cake, and we were hooked from the first bite. It's a sweet, ultra buttery, and layered cake which reminded us a little bite of kugel. The outside had a crunchier caramelized layer which paired wonderfully with the softer inside. It was sort of like a thicker and less airy croissant cake. We awed at the amount of butter they were working with in the bake. We also shared a croissant which was perfect. Light, airy, and slightly flakey without being messy. Service was super quick. There are only two tables inside with five total chairs, so seating is quite limited.

The fresh smell of bread and croissants in this bakery was amazing and the almond croissant was the best croissant I've ever had. It was flaky, buttery and there was a some kind of jam inside as well. It was truly delicious!

Go for the Kouing amann and the cheese croissant! They were out of the petit Kouing amann when we arrived so the lady was nice enough to take our name down and we could return in half an hour for a fresh one! In the meantime, we got some of their other pastries to nosh on. The cheese croissant was so good that when we came back we ordered three more! The kouing amann fresh and warm is something special. Light and flakey, buttery with a nice coat of crisp caramel. Not to be missed! We also got the apple tart, almond and chocolate croissant: ok. IMHO, you can pass on those and just load up on the Kouing amann and cheese croissants!

This place has a purpose and it doesn't deviate from it. It's a place to have kouing-amann. That's all. It's simple and delicious. They do serve coffee as well. There's counter service, and limited silverware upon request. There are two small tables for customers to sit but it's more of a pick up place.

Jennifer G.

Yelp
If you're looking for a local bakery with high quality goods and an excellent price, look no further. They have a good variety of all you need, and their namesake treat is wonderfully buttery with a crisp shell. At only $3 for a portion, it's a steal. Thank you to the owners for the affordable pricing. Service is quick. There are two little seating areas for you to enjoy your treats and people watch out the windows. I always come by for a stop whenever I'm in Montreal.

Super cute café - the smell alone is amazing. The pastries were delicious. I had a slice of the famous kouing-amann. Super flaky, rich and buttery. Keep eating, Angela

We didn't like the dense kouing-amann cake, nothing special. The croissants are extra good, especially the cheese version, crisp. Be aware of the short hours, closed days. English is not well understood.

Went here on our final morning in Montreal. There was a line out the door, but overall waiting time wasn't that bad. The menu is limited: a few croissants and their famed kouing amann. We tried the chocolate croissant and got a slice of the cake. Let's just say that if you don't love butter that you will absolutely hate this place. The cake was pretty warm out of the oven and we loved the crispy top and gooey layers, but when we had some later on in the day after it cooled a bit, we enjoyed it more. It's good. Nothing we would rave about, but good. Same with the chocolate croissant--nothing special but gets the job done. Communication with the one guy working the K-A station was challenging. He thought we wanted a whole one and we didn't and he was getting exasperated with one us when she was trying her best to communicate. Canadian French is hard! Also, the place is really small; there are only two tiny tables and we were lucky enough to be able to grab one of them. Overall, a pretty average experience, but rounding up to 4 from 3.5 because in a spirit of Canadian-American relations goodwill.

Matt D.

Yelp
The pastries are the best I have had outside of France. The croissants are flaky, airy, and buttery. You MUST try this place if you are in Montreal! The service was also great. They were able to help us even though we spoke English. The ambiance is nice too. It feels very warm inside. There are only two small tables inside but plenty of spots outside if you want to eat your pastries there.

AMAZINGG kouign amann. It was to die for like I wish I got more of that. As soon as you walk into the store, it smells like butter goodness wowowow. We also got their almond croissant and pain au chocolat. They were pretty good. The almond one used really almond paste so it was a powerful flavour. The kouign amann definitely was the winner, please get that one

Jordan F.

Yelp
Definitely an interesting take on the kouing Aman!! I have never had any of this shape or density, so it was an interesting experience! It reminded me more of cake, rather than a flaky texture. Their menu is very limited, and there may be a line of people waiting to buy some kouing aman!! Worth the wait, and there's so many fun things to explore around this area.

Stephanie Y.

Yelp
Absolutely unreal croissants. Stopped by and got a cheese croissant, chocolatine and slice of kouign amann. Cheese croissant was unbelievably crisp on the exterior, flakey and soft in the interior, filled with a nice savory kick. The best croissant I've had in my life and I've been to France. Chocolatine was also good - full of chocolate. Not as mindblowing as the cheese croissant. Kouign amann is their signature. Such a decadent slice of pie(???) with rich, dense and moist buttery, sugary flavor. So amazing. It's moist without being soggy. What a wonderful dish. Overall a great experience - will definitely be back.

Geoff M.

Yelp
wow, the best croissant and the best Koiugn Amann! Fabulous! Don't miss! The store is small, hardly room enough for the counter, staff, and a few customers at a time. Don't let that fool you. This is an excellent bakery.

Yelp
Every once in a while in life, you eat something and audibly sign and announce, "This may be one of the best things I've ever ate." This was that moment biting into the Kouign-Amann. I've had really great Kouign-Amann before but nothing compares to this buttery delicacy. It's like a magical mixture of a croissant & the perfection of a buttery cake. It cannot be described well enough. All I know is I have deep regrets of not getting more.

Kylie K.

Yelp
Friendly service, delicious pastries. Go early to beat the line and snag your favorite pastry, because they do sell out later in the day! I'm still deciding if the restaurant is actually called Au Kouing-Amann or Au Kouign-Amann, since they have signs that spell it both ways. But what does spelling matter when the pastries speak for themselves?

Anna S.

Yelp
We got a slice of Kouign-Amann and the croissant with ham & cheese. The Kouign-Amann is so amazing! I've never had the pie version and I can't stop thinking about it. I like it better than the individual muffin version I had in NYC. It tasted like if croissant and sticky bun had a baby. I saw someone ordered a whole pie and I was regretting ordering a slice only. However they do say this is one of the more guilty pastry - consisted of layers of butter and incorporated sugar. The ham & cheese croissant paired well with the sweet pastry. They pressed and toasts the croissant so the cheese is melted perfectly onto the flaky goodness. This is a must eat in Montreal!

Karen F.

Yelp
Been a while since I've been back in Montreal, so was surprised to see the changes at the shop. Gone are the days when people could sit around the one table while enjoying slices of Kouing-Amann on actual plates. The kouign amanns are still delicious, but now everything comes packaged to go and filled with tons of tourists.

Sue T.

Yelp
Every time I am visiting family in Montreal, it always includes a trip here. The almond croissants are amazing and worth the trip. Sometimes there are lines outside but it's not too bad and worth the wait.

Lovely little bakery, the Breton butter cake is amazing. We took it to go as seating is very limited. Service was fast friendly.

Jo L.

Yelp
If you're looking for an authentic French bakery, this is the place to go. We came here specifically for the kouign-amanns and were not disappointed. The outer shell was absolutely caramelized to perfection and the inner layers were incredibly buttery. The pastry was sweet but not too sweet, but the butter definitely made it decadent, so sharing would be ideal. We also got the croissant, which we saved for later in the day, and even after a few hours, the outer shell was still crispy and inner layers buttery and soft. I cannot recommend this place enough. If we're ever back in the area, we would undoubtedly check out the rest of their menu. It's small and quaint, but it definitely hits the spot!

My friend and I dropped by to pick up some pastries for breakfast. We came on Wednesday morning around 8 am, and there was no one else in the store. It's a small space that's takeout only with no seating. We grabbed three pastries for only $10.47, which I thought was super affordable: Kouign amann slice - this is their signature pastry, so of course I had to try it. I've never had a kouign amann before, but I really enjoyed it here. The outside was crispy, while it was chewy inside with a rich butter flavor, and without it being too sweet. I will say, it looks very different than pictures I've seen in the past of kouign amann from other bakeries, so I was a bit surprised by the presentation Almond croissant - very crispy on the outside with a slightly sweet almond cream inside. I do wish there was a bit more almond cream inside, but otherwise I liked the croissant Apple turnover - again, very crispy on the outside and the apple inside wasn't too sweet either

Small place with queues out the door. Good looking pastries. The best kouig-amann that we have tasted. The trip to just stock up on kouig-amann is worth it. Loved every bite!

Y S.

Everyone adores this! The kouing amann was dubbed remarkable and delicious by all. The croissant was very good as well but the kouing amann is the real draw here.

William H.

Yelp
The butter-iest croissant I have ever experienced. So don't expect a very shattery croissant -- the drops of butter are almost visible inside. Delicious. The kouign amann is unlike the small tartlets I find in other bakeries-- get a slice and make sure you bite into the crust side for that sugar crunch. Again, full of buttery layers that will make you think twice about having another. Also check out the NY Times youtube video on this place-- charming!

Claudine L.

Yelp
I came here to try the kouign-amann but they were unfortunately out of it. I came near closing time so it makes sense. The owner suggested to come earlier during the day as they aren't sure when they'll run out. I did get to try the chocolatine and croissant which were both lovely. The croissant was flaky and had a nice buttery flavour even though I had it a little bit after. I also enjoyed the chocolatine. Would come back to try other pastries whenever I'm in Montreal again.

Visited Montreal and found this place through a travel blogger & is highly recommended. I searched Yelp and there it is! True enough, people have high praises with their croissants and Kouing Amann. I visited twice during my vacay, and made sure I bring 2 boxes of petite Kouing Amann to my home in California! Tip: Make sure to call to reserve your pastries, they run out pretty fast!!

Carolyn Q.

Yelp
Wow these pastries were life changing. We went first thing in the morning, and there was quite the line in front. The line moved fairly quickly, and we were able to order not too long after arriving. Definitely a place worth the wait! Their pastries are out of this world good. As shown in the name, this place is most well known for their Kouign- Amann. They have it in 3 sizes: slice, small, and large. We went with 3 slices, but next time I think I would go with the small to share instead of getting 3 slices because I wished I had another slice to save for later in the day. The Kouign-Amann was perfectly layered; they did not skimp out on the butter. With each bite, I wanted another buttery, soft, sweet bite of the pastry. The croissant that I got was also pretty good. It had a fantastic honeycomb shape, the perfect crispy outside, and a phenomenal taste and flakiness. Both were phenomenal. If I lived nearby, this would be a place I would commonly frequent. The pastries are just so wonderful. Probably some of the best Kouign-Amann in the North America

C L.

Yelp
Their signature Kouign Amann is essentially a layered cake that has a crispy outside but rich and dense inside, sweet and buttery, very fatty but so good! The croissants were very good too, buttery, flakey and soft. Seriously, I've been thinking about this place for a year and finally made my way back! This time instead of a slice, I bought a whole one to take home! They take reservations of Kouign Amann and since I was a walk-in customer, I waited about 10 minutes for the new batch to come out of the oven. It was so worth the wait, plus the box made for a nice and toasty hand warmer!

Lisa S.

Yelp
There are over 400 reviews here and I agree with all the 5-star ones. Don't sleep on the namesake - the kouign amann is perfect! It mean.. it's all perfect, but that tasty treat was particularly outstanding. A bit sweet compared to its buttery croissant brethren, but it's a category all it's own. This shop is just delightful.

MK R.

Wow! Best pastry we have ever had! We loved them so much we returned and bought another one to share with our family! If we are ever back in Montreal we will be back!

Went on a family vacation, and saw raving reviews of this place. We tried this place and absolutely loved it!!!! My mom also tried the almond croissant and she said it was amazing! Definitely will come back here when we come back to Montreal! The ambiance is super cute, like a small french cafe. Love love love!! Service was also 10:10

Danan R.

This is a must-visit in Montreal and be sure you order an entire kouign amman. You will have to wait but go out, grab lunch, and come back for your fresh-from-the-oven kouign-amman ($27) that is piping hot. The outer caramelized shell is perfectly crispy and the inner layers were pure buttery, pastry perfection. The line moves quickly so don't be intimidated if you see one! It's worth the wait.

Allison L.

Yelp
delicious pastries, an absolute must-visit if you're ever in Montreal! We went on a super snowy Tuesday morning at around 10AM, so there was no line. Unfortunately, they were also out of a lot of stuff, like the signature Kouign-Amann. However, we did get a bunch of croissants in all different flavors- and they were all warm, buttery, and crispy. They had a few other pastries there too- tarts and quiches- and we tried the quiche lorraine. It was delicious! I'd love to come back here and try more things!!

Amabel S.

Yelp
Hands down to the BEST Almond Croissant & Kouign Amann from French pastry for breakfast IS HEAVEN.. We always come back for their Kouign Amann when visit Montreal, SO DELICIOUS - sweet crackly crust, soft buttery, nicely layered with chewy texture. Best part is it was fresh and warm. You can buy it per slice or the whole pie. This time, I tried their Almond croissant, traditional croissant, and spinach quiche as well. The almond croissants is one of the best I've ever tried. I really like the almond paste inside. Every bite is a delight. You can hear the crisp when you bite into the traditional croissants - flaky, buttery, while airy & light at the same time. I could eat more than one at a time. They're reasonably priced, around $2 each. Tips: Come earlier as they run out so fast! Save this on your list of places to visit in Montreal.

Matt A.

Yelp
The definition of "made with love" the creation of these heavenly pastries is almost magic. Beyond description (but we'll still try) tasting the croissants is like kissing a very delicate, buttery, flaky cloud. The ridiculously delectable, rich, adequately sweet Kouign-amann stays astonishingly fresh for a truly impressive amount of time (we tried it immediately after purchasing and then again over 36 hours later and it tasted the same!! ) A must try and repeat many times over.

Jessica E.

Yelp
The Au kouign-Amani pastry is to die for! A must have in Montreal!! So delicious Make sure you get enough to share and then some because it's that good!

Patricia J.

Yelp
The best croissants. We tried a few places in Montreal including the incredible Guillaume on St Laurent and this place edges them all out taking first place on the croissant. We ordered a box to take back home. Beautiful crispy, buttery glazed top with soft underbelly. Literally perfect. Selection is not as vast as other competitions but they excel in quality on the delicacies that they do sell. MUST TRY in Montreal !

Wei C.

Yelp
This summer when we went to Montreal we really wanted to try some spots that we can't get back in the GTA. Montreal has some of the best bakeries anywhere and the one that was on our list was Patisserie Au Kouign Amann There is a very limited selection of items but they have some of the best baked goods anywhere including incredible crossiants, cakes and tarts to make it is a true must go to place when in La Belle Province! However the one thing that truly sets it apart from anywhere is its legendary "Kouign Amann" which is essentially a layered butter cake with a caramelized crust. I can't describe it other then the perfect combination of butter, flour and sugar. Your mouth is literally hit with a delicious crust of sugar and then the cake melts in your mouth full of a buttery goodness that you can't describe. It is a classic cake from Britanny with so few ingredients but is prepared perfectly by these master bakers. In life the recipes that are the simplest are you the hardest to master and the Kouign Amman is truly top dog in my books. Pro tip: Buy extra cake to take home to freeze. it re-heats beautifully in the oven. Full 5/5 for one of the best things about Montreal!
