La Maison Du Kouign-amann - Ottawa

So I was browsing the internet for the best strawberry shortcake in Ottawa and after many blogs and threads, one name on Reddit kept coming up. It was for your bakery. I placed my order a week in advance since the birthday falls on Canada Day and everything will be closed. Picked up the cake today and didn't wait until tomorrow to slice it up. I'm not a huge cake guy but this cake was phenomenal. Everything was perfect. The cake was so soft and the creme was so delicious. Absolutely worth every penny. I ended up giving a slice to a friend and he called and ordered two more cakes immediately.(He's not a cake guy either) He has a birthday on Canada Day as well. I will be recommending and coming here more often. Everything was amazing, the moment you see the positive affirmation on the door handle, the cashier working behind the counter. Couldn't be happier. Keep up the great work.

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.

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.

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
