Hailing from Bretagne (Brittany), Le Kouign-Amann translates to “butter bread” in Breton.
How to describe it?
Flaky Layers: Imagine a golden, buttery pastry with layers so delicate they practically melt in your mouth.
Caramelized Sugar: Between those layers lies a generous amount of butter and sugar. As it bakes, the sugar caramelizes, creating a sweet, sticky, and slightly crunchy exterior.
Buttery Bliss: Each bite reveals a symphony of flavors: the buttery richness, the sweetness of the caramel, and the hint of salt. It’s like a love letter to your taste buds.
Textural Harmony: The contrast between the flaky layers and the gooey caramel is pure magic. It’s crispy on the outside, tender within—a harmonious dance of textures.
Available fresh daily in our 5 locations - hurry before we sell out!
