Our all-butter Kouign Amann is incredible as is—or even better with a slight topping. Try one of these simple pairings for each flavor:

Cinnamon Kouign Amann

Pair with: Warm apple slices

Lay a few slices of thinly sliced apples sautéed in a bit of butter and brown sugar right on top. The sweetness and cinnamon are perfectly complementary.

Blueberry Cream Kouign Amann

Pair with: Fresh berries

Top with a handful of fresh blueberries (or raspberries) and a light dusting of powdered sugar. It keeps it light and allows the blueberry cream cheese to take the spotlight.

Classic Plain Kouign Amann

Pair with: Drizzle of honey

Simply warm the pastry and finish with a drizzle of your favorite honey. The honey’s floral notes enhance the caramelized crust.

All of these would take you a few seconds to throw together—and turn our ready-to-bake Kouign Amann into something really special.

Dutchland Foods is leading the way in premium frozen pastry innovation.

At Dutchland Foods, we’re proud to be one of the first large-scale pastry manufacturers in the U.S. to produce and distribute filled Kouign Amann pastries — a laminated dough delicacy once reserved for high-end artisan bakeries. Known for its caramelized, sugar-crusted exterior and buttery, flaky layers, Kouign Amann (pronounced “queen a-mahn”) has quickly become a favorite in upscale cafĂ©s, foodservice bakery cases, and even grocery store frozen pastry aisles.

What Makes Our Kouign Amann Unique?

Unlike traditional Kouign Amann, which can be labor-intensive and inconsistent to produce, our version is frozen, ready-to-bake, and made with authentic European-style butter and expertly laminated dough — offering your customers a premium bakery experience with zero prep. What truly sets our offering apart is our line of filled Kouign Amann, combining this classic Breton pastry with modern flavor innovation.

Sweet or Savory — You Choose

Our filled Kouign Amann lineup is fully customizable for wholesale clients and private label programs. We currently offer best-selling sweet flavors like:

‱ Raspberry Cream

‱ Blueberry Cream

‱ Cinnamon

‱ Seasonal Fruit Blends

And on the savory side, we can test and develop gourmet options such as:

Why Kouign Amann? Why Now?

Kouign Amann has seen massive growth in consumer interest over the past five years, thanks to social media buzz and the rise of gourmet bakery culture. However, few large manufacturers have successfully scaled it — especially with fillings. Dutchland Foods stepped into that gap, combining old-world technique with modern production standards to offer a high-margin frozen pastry your customers will come back for again and again.

 Let’s Talk Pastry Innovation

If you’re a buyer, distributor, or private label brand looking to stand out in the frozen pastry space, let’s connect. Our filled Kouign Amann products are the perfect addition to a high-end, differentiated bakery offering — and we’re always open to developing new custom flavors based on your market.

 Reach out to our team to request samples or discuss product development options.

The kouign amann has long been known for its caramelized exterior, buttery layers, and rich texture—but at Dutchland, we’ve taken this traditional French pastry a step further. Our filled kouign amanns offer the same artisan quality with the added appeal of a smooth, flavorful center.

It’s a small change with a big payoff.

A Layered Pastry with More to Offer

While most kouign amanns on the market are unfilled, our filled versions feature thoughtfully developed flavor profiles that complement the dough rather than overpower it. Whether it’s a cinnamon swirl or a fruit-infused cream, each flavor is balanced to enhance the caramelized shell and flaky interior—not mask it.

More Visual Appeal, More Menu Flexibility

The added filling opens the door for variety without changing your process. Retailers and foodservice programs can rotate seasonal flavors, appeal to a broader customer base, and refresh their pastry case without adding new SKUs or equipment. It’s an easy way to introduce something new without starting from scratch.

Same Dough, Same Process—Smarter Execution

Our filled kouign amanns are made with the same real-butter laminated dough used in our core line. They’re available frozen and ready to bake, making them a practical solution for in-store bakery teams, cafĂ©s, and regional distributors who need consistency at scale.


Dutchland’s filled kouign amanns offer the same artisan texture and finish—with just enough innovation to stand out in a crowded case. For bakeries looking to differentiate, it’s a fresh take on a fast-moving favorite.

When distributors are sourcing pastries for their foodservice or retail partners, they’re looking for more than just a product — they’re looking for a manufacturer that understands the logistics, supports the relationship, and delivers consistent results.

2. Customization That Works at Scale

Our private label program gives you flexibility where it matters. Distributors can work with us to customize packaging, portion size, product type, and more — without the headaches of building from scratch. This makes it easy to offer your clients something exclusive, branded, and on-trend.

3. Consistency You Can Count On

Our reputation is built on delivering the same high-quality product, every time. With decades of laminated dough experience and carefully refined production systems, we’re known for reliability — not just in what we make, but in how we support the teams we work with.

5. A Team That Treats You Like a Partner

From ease of setup to long-term dependability, Dutchland helps distributors offer more — with less stress. Want to talk about private label or sample options? We’re happy to start the conversation.

Classic Pastry, Modern Flavor Raspberry Chip & Cinnamon Chip Palmiers — Flaky. Flavorful. Ready to Bake.

If your brunch menu still relies on muffins and plain croissants, you’re missing an opportunity to offer something just as versatile—but far more memorable. The kouign amann is a French pastry that’s quickly becoming a favorite among upscale cafĂ©s and brunch spots, and for good reason.

It Brings an Elevated Feel Without the Fuss

The kouign amann fits right in with the current wave of “approachable luxury” in foodservice. Its rich, buttery dough and caramelized finish feel indulgent without being overcomplicated. Customers might not know how to pronounce it (it’s “queen a-mahn”), but once they try it, they won’t forget it.

Easy to Dress Up, Simple to Prepare

Whether you offer it plain or with a seasonal glaze, the kouign amann is a low-effort, high-impact menu item. Serve it warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, plate it with a fruit compote, or pair it with a signature coffee blend. With minimal prep, you’ve got something that looks curated—and tastes bakery-case worthy.

A Fresh Take on Familiar Staples

Croissants and muffins will always have their place, but the kouign amann offers something more distinctive. It’s familiar in texture, yet unique enough to stand out. For cafes and restaurants looking to offer something a little unexpected (but totally crowd-pleasing), this pastry hits the mark.


Whether you’re revamping your pastry case or refreshing your brunch lineup, the kouign amann brings the kind of versatility, elegance, and flavor that makes it worth the space on your menu.
