I would not recommend this bake shop. I purchased a baguette and an apple turnover. I've had better baguettes at grocery stores. This one was doughy and not like a French baguette at all. I've enclosed pictures of the Apple turnover, which was terrible. read more

Super cute spot! Now I know where lunches from one of our fave reps come from. It's a chill spot that carries delicious french pastries, sandwiches, frozen meals & dessert and coffee. They have a decent sized indoor seating area and I found products from a couple other local merchants there, which was really fun. Staff greeted us with a sweet hello when we entered. Check out was efficient with one staff bringing us the tart & another cashing us out. It was overall a nice experience. read more

La Maison du Kouign-Amann - a variety of cakes - Bakeries Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

Not a bad little bakery. Lots of pastries, lots of cookie options imported from France. We stopped in before the new 28-day province wide lockdown and enjoyed one of their savoury crêpes in house. I lived in (Lower) Normandy for 3 years and visited Bretagne (Brittany) on several different occasions, the crêpes are not Brittany style crêpes, made with buckwheat, but they're alright. My boyfriend and I spilt a veggie crêpe. We also had the namesake, a small Kouign-Amann. My boyfriend had never had one before. I was raving to him about my experience in France about this delicious cake, essentially make with copious amounts of butter, sugar, and flour...I was telling him that it tastes like a butter cookie but in cake form, he was in for a treat. Needless to say, we were so disappointed when the Kouign-Amann that we got was stale and tasteless, likely day old. It was not what I expected from a place called "The House of Kouign-Amann". They have lots of frozen food as well. My boyfriend suggested we buy a quiche but I found that they exorbitantly priced, many over $25, closer to $30! I understand that they're made fresh in a bakery, but they're also frozen so that people can take them home. They are not fresh to eat. You can find cheaper (freshly made) frozen quiche in other Ottawa bakeries that are very good. We passed on these... We did decide to patronize this establishment again on Christmas Eve to purchase Kouign-Amann again. Thankfully, this time it was fresh and it tasted amazing, like butter with a hint of sweetness, as it should. I would recommend La Maison du Kouign-Amann, just be aware that when you go there that you're prepared to spend a lot of money. Also, be sure to ask if the Kouign-Amann is fresh before purchasing! read more

Low quality pastries with high prices. Purchased Tiramisu cake, Raspberry Lemon tart and Almond chocolate croissant. After eating one bite, we did not want to try the second bite. read more

I first had Kouign Amann in Montreal at a bakery called "Au Kouign-Amann" on Mont Royal East and fell in love with this pastry that I can only describe as a cross between a croissant and a cake. Ever since then, I've been on a hunt for Kouign Amann in Ottawa. I found this place on Yelp and bookmarked it. Since it's out in Kanata North, I wasn't sure when I'd get around to going there, but today was the day! This is not a place that is easy to stumble upon. I think you have to make a deliberate effort to find it. It is in an industrial part of town and not even on a major street. Good thing Google Maps led me to the right place, lol. The bakery is super cute. They have 3 seats facing the window in case you want to eat in. They have croissants, other pastries, tarts, cakes, and macarons, in addition to Kouign Amann. Kouign Amann are $2.75 each or 5 for $10. Obviously, I got a box of 5, haha. I just got them plain, but you can get toppings for $0.25 each. The Kouign Amann were delicious. So many flaky soft layers. Sweet and sticky goodness. I think toppings would make it too sweet for my tastes, so I'm glad I didn't get any. Staff were nice and the bakery looked clean. Prices are reasonable. There's free parking available in the lot that they share with other businesses. Don't know how often I'll make the trek out there, but this bakery seems like a gem to me. read more

Since this bakery opened and it's our go to place for desserts and nice cakes to impress our guests! Today we were wvit's to try their new crepe addition and sit in their new expansion. Although it's only a week in, but their crepe menu is so versatile wether ur looking for salty crepe or a sweet one. I ordered the green plate which was pesto sauce with veggies and was very good and couldn't eat all day! Very filling. My kids got Nutella crepe with fruits and loved it! read more

Kanata is hiding a gem of a pastry shop in their neck of the woods. This family-run establishment gets me salivating with their tarts and pastries. Their namesake is delicious. I've had it at other shops, but theirs is the winner. The kouign amann is dense like a bread pudding, but flakey. The combination is amazing! If you want to sweeten up the plain ones, ask them to add toppings. They are still delicious without though. My personal favourite is the nutella or salted caramel, but they also have lemon and raspberry. They do have other pastries such as croissants, savoury pies, fruit tarts and cakes. The chocolatines are particularly delicious coated with chocolate bits and toasted almonds. There isn't seating so be sure to grab your treats to enjoy at home. While some items can be a little more pricey than others, the fancy schmancy is justified for a bit of a treat or special occasion. read more

Pastries are great...however, customer service severely lacking, no welcome, no thank you have a great day on exit, and no low or sugar free options available, no dark roast regular coffee, somewhat disappointing. read more

Fran is a pasty queen. This is one of the highlights of Kanata. Unfortunately I live close so I'm indulging a bit too frequently. Kouign-Amann is fantastic, surprising to see a place like this in Kanata, would not be out of place in a busy metropolis. read more

Ok people, whose insanely bad idea was it to put this hidden gem right beside the gym I work out at? Oooohhh my gawwwddddd! Their tagline is genuine French pastry which, whether you've been to France or not, is exactly true. It's just layers of buttery flakiness, topped with cream and chocolate and fruit and all other goodness from the Garden of Eden. Impressive bites to eat in or take to a dinner party when you're tasked to bring dessert! Honestly, my only complaint would be the coffee. It's...meh.... but it certainly doesn't stop me from going back... Overall, a quaint little must check out in the heart of high tech Kanata! read more

THIS IS THE ONLY BAKERY YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE. Everything is fresh and tastes amazing. The pastries are quite rich but if you're looking to take your in laws or a date out for breakfast or for something short and sweet... this is definitely the place! We had the kouign-amann topped with salted caramel, one plain and one with lemon topping. The pistachio croissant is good for someone who doesn't like something too sweet. It gives a nice nutty flavour. The almond croissant is by far my favourite from all bakeries I've tried. This one is savoury and definitely can taste the almonds, again, a pretty rich pastry. The chocolate croissant isn't too sweet. It does have a more chalkier taste unlike the rest which were more smooth and creamy. But, not bad at all. CROQUE MONSIEUR WAS AMAZING. It really hit the spot. Cheesy with ham and pressed so it's nice and warm! Delicious! The espresso here is smooth, not bitter like Starbucks. Service here is 10/10. The staff were patient when we were all over the place with how many of each items we want even though there was a long line. I understand it can be frustrating for them as they probably would like to clear the line but they showed no sign of wanting to rush us and were very happy to help. Edit: tried the crepe, it's mediocre. Can definitely get better elsewhere. But everything is delicious!!!! read more

Terrible customer service! Would not recommend ordering from here. The owner was very rude when brought up on her stores mistake. We called in to place an order for a 9 inch cheese cake for a 21st birthday. When the cake was picked up and brought home it was looking a little small for a 9 inch cake so we decided to take a measurement it was just above 7 inches. The store took forever to call back regarding this issue and when we finally got through to the owner she was extremely rude and arguing with us that our cake was fine and then proceeded to hang up mid conversation. read more

Maybe my expectations were a bit high but I found it only average. Nothing wrong with it really, but not worth a special trip of you aren't already out that way. Owners were there and quite friendly but it was pricey and fairly standard. read more

This spot just opened up on Friday and had already gained a foothold in the hearts and bellies of Kanata-ites. Stopped in for the first time today, the aroma of fresh french pastries and breads is intoxicating. The croissants are light as air, crispy and delicious. Their signature pastry (the kouign-amann) is about the size of a muffin, made with pastry with an option of lemon, raspberry or salted caramel sauce. While it is heavy for the size, the taste ia not heavy at all. Buttery, flaky deliciousness. I am so happy that I work cloae to this place as I know I will be stopping in often. read more

I was there a few days ago and I was very impressed with La Maison du Kouign-Amann a French bakery. It's very clean, organized and beautifully decorated. I purchased the Mango Cheesecake for Father's Day and we all said that it was the very best cheesecake we ever had by far. Perfection. I would greatly recommend it to everyone to go enjoy their amazing baked goods, sandwiches, soups, gift items. They are famous for their Kouniettes. They have numerous table and chairs to sit and enjoy their top quality food. I'm looking forward to enjoying their delicious food again soon and I will bring friends. read more

The kouign-amann really is the star of the show here. We first had it while we were at one of the Christmas markets last year, and we knew that we had to make a stop at the storefront any excuse we already had being in Kanata (not very often, but we knew one day it would happen). So there we were finally, and we picked up two batches of the kouign amann - one plain and the other with toppings. I think they raised the prices a bit; I distinctly remember that it came down to about 3$ per piece when we bought it just a month ago. It is still worth it, but if it goes up a bit more, I'd be hard-pressed to go to Kanata just for the pastry. My favorite flavour is the lemon, and it is so good with tea - I can't even. I would try the other pastries at their bakery, but it's hard when I eat so much of their kouign amann already. I'll try harder next time! ;) read more

My favourite dessert place, absolutely love it there. This is our go to for desserts and anything sweet. read more

We have had the pastry Kouign-Amann in both Paris and Nice, France and instantly fell in love with the buttery, sugary crunch. Whenever we go to Montreal we always stop at Au Kouign-Aman to get this as well! After looking it up in Yelp and finding La Maison du Kouign-Amann, I knew we had to try it...my husband and I finally found the time today. We arrived at this bakery shortly after 9 am and was greeted by a friendly gentleman (maybe the owner ?), he asked us what we would like and we indicated we were here for the Kouign-Amann and it was our first visit. He told us that he would allow us to try it before we buy it and that it just came out of the oven. When we received our sample treats, it was piping hot and OMG was it good! :). Perfectly sweet, buttery soft pastry in the centre and the outside was equally perfectly sweetened with a delicious buttery crunch. We have had Kouign-Amann in various shapes, some made into a round pizza shape cut into wedges (not as crunchy, more on the soft side) and others in a cinammon bun shape (more crunchy but not soft enough in the centre). The ones served at this bakery were more like a flower shape and they had the best ratio of crunch, softness and sweetness that we have ever had. We bought a dozen (two with their homemade salted caramel sauce and two others with their lemon cream) and ate 3 straight away because we couldn't resist the taste! YUM :) We will definitely be back to enjoy their Kouign-Aman and try their other offerings - probably the butter tarts (as it caught by husband's eyes). read more

Some of the best pastries I've had outside of France, seriously! I met a new friend while traveling in Ottawa, and she brought me here for lunch, and it was AMAZING. The bakery is located in an unassuming industrial strip mall, with no extra frills. You can tell that the owners have expanded over the years, and it's got a wonderful community atmosphere. The staff recognized the woman I came with and greeted her personally, which was so nice. Along with their array of baked goods, there are sandwiches and other hot prepared foods. I got the ham and egg sandwich, and it was heavenly. I got it hot pressed and I wonder why I've never thought to put hard boiled eggs on a ham sandwich before? The croissant I got for breakfast the next day was amazing, and I wish I had grabbed more than one. I will definitely return next time I am in the area. read more

MUST TRY KUIGN AMANN～ Almond and butter smell and taste great! I tried salted caramel and rasberry sauce.

Great French bakery! Probably one of the best in North Kanata. Very spacious and laid back. Very family-oriented. They also offer frozen takeaways as well as weekend brunch. Love their almond croissants and pretty much everything! It's a hidden little gem in Kanata. You've gotta try it!! Their specialty is the Kouign-Amann (apparently is the name of the town in France where this pastry originated from). It's delicious! read more

Amazing place and friendly staff. There isn't a single thing I tried that I haven't absolutely loved. A little piece of France in Kanata!

Just found out about this secret hideaway. Tried their chocolate croissant and it was truly a taste bud delight. Tarts were tasteful but pastry could have been lighter. On whole the trip to this place is worth every penny, or dollar, depending how much you are willing to. They have expanded area and we have been there again and again. Quality of selection is superb and service is excellent. Keep it up Jeff and Fran read more

Our daughter introduced us to Kouign-Amann a year ago and we've been back many times. Always great, tasty sandwiches and desserts.

What great versatile bakery. Great for breakfast, lunch, picking up a sweet treat or a cake or baked good as a gift. Great service. My personal favorite are the quiche and various cream filled tarts. read more
