La Maison du Kouign-Amann

I got here very unexpectedly. Was searching for a pastry place to find a cake for friends birthday and this was the nearest one to my location. It’s one of the best pastries place in Ottawa. Best in quality, taste and service. Ideal place to buy birthday cake and try pastries.. Lots of unique ready to go cake and wide varieties of other pastries to have. The place seemed busy. One thing I liked is that we wanted to write some text on cake, so instead of writing it on the cake they kept a big chunk of removable chocolate on top and wrote on it. Sure going back to this place to try more. The staffs were really nice. They have indoor dine in and also free parking.

Swung by here to pick up some pastries and I was pleasantly surprised with how much variety they make/carry! A heavenly assortment of pastries and baked goods, a back section that is divided between a seating area and fridges/freezer containing soups, frozen pies/tarts, croissants, cinnamon buns among others. A hidden gem given its location but would recommend visiting if you’re in the area!

Great gem in Ottawa! Their pistachio pastries are heavenly. The shop is large and spacious, and allows dine in. I would love to visit again and try their many many meals and desserts.

I was at the bakery on Monday and have purchased their cakes previously. Very tasty and well done cakes and pastries. I purchased a shepherds pie to eat at home. Tonight we baked it and served it up. This dish cost $20, serving 4. The pie was mostly potatoes and about a 1/2 inch of meat. SO disappointing. I'll not recommend their frozen food nor purchase it again. Pretty expensive for mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese on top!

I pre-ordered mango cheesecake. It's actually a light cake since the cream cheese isn't as heavy and the texture is more like jelly pudding. It's really good since they don't make it too sweet and you can still taste the tangy of the mango. I also tried their mango tart, which has a similar taste, but the texture was more thick pudding.

Amazed by the great selection of French desserts and pastries. The pistachio cranberry tart is just at the perfect sweetness with full body of nutty flavor from real pistachio. The subtle fruity acidity from cranberry perfectly balanced off the sweet taste. The creamy chocolate croissant is also beyond expectation. The light sugar crust upgrades the crispness of pastry dough. The inside is tender and soft. The “caramelized” chocolate finishes the bite with pleasant chewiness. Totally a joy companioned with a sip of black americano.

Delicious, fantastic, easy going and reasonably priced. Cost to good taste is definitely there. Will for sure visit again next time I'm in the area.

Good place to get baked goods. The desserts and pastries are great. The crepes could be a bit better.

I got a raspberry cheese cake for my birthday. The cake was not sweet and tasted very good but not cheap though. We tried their croissants before and they were very good. Next time, we will try their chocolate cake and hope that their chocolate cake won't be too sweet and heavy. June 20, 2021 - Our son got us a Chocolate Mousse cake for Father's Day. The cake was very delicious! Nov. 5, 2021 - All the cakes I tried in the past were bought by my son and his GF. I have never visited the store myself. I made a visit to the store to check out and took some photos. The store inside is very clean. The store also has a spacious area for people to drink their coffee and enjoy their pastries/sandwich the area can also be booked for special event. I wanted to buy their Chocolate Triple mousse cake again. Too bad that the store didn't have it because they didn't have the ingredients due to transportation issue from COVID. So, we bought a Mocha Cake to try out. Among all the cakes we tried, the Mocha Cake is my least favorite one I found too much cream used. But the chocolate cake inside the cream was good. I was told that I can pre-order the cake 2 days in advance and they can customize the cake to my desired sweetness i.e., less sweet. This is good to know. Nov. 8, 2022 - My son bought me another chocolate cake from this store. Delicious as usual.

We drove from Toronto and went straight here! Love the Kouign Amann and haven't been able to find the same quality at home. A must try! Add coffee...mmmmm
