Delicious, just make sure to check the opening hours, as they close very early.

Delicious pastry. Lack of seating but I’ll still give it 5 stars because I feel is part of the experience.

What a delicious selection of pastries! I was in line at around 10:45 and 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 and 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 and bottom was crunchy and glazed which added to the fluffyness of the center. The raisin bread itself and regular croissants were also light and 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 and 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 and 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 and sweet / savory syrup coating. The pastries are certainly sweet from the caramel, but they also have a great saltiness and savoriness from the salted butter; it's also extremely dense and 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 and flavorful interior. Absolutely delicious straight out of the oven. It was so good I had to buy a whole one to bring home, and even still, I would go back to Montreal in an instant just for this bakery!

The Kouign amann is absolutely delicious 10/10. Have gone back many times. Their croissants are also very good.

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!

Kouign Amann is no longer what it used to be. I went back 3 times thinking it was a bad batch, but no, always disappointing. Really a shame because before this Kouign Amann was a delight of the gods. Lack of butter and is no longer even caramelized.... In short, tasteless and spongy! It's to be believed if they have already been to Brittany... Sniff...
