Bagels Sandwiches Café Breakfast Vegetarian

Review Summary

Hinnawi Bros Bagel & Café is described as a cute, cozy, and clean little gem in Montreal with bagels that are crispy on the outside and chewy inside, topped with sesame seeds and cream cheese and complemented by excellent coffee and great value, while the vibe remains relaxed and welcoming with friendly, patient service in a space that invites lingering. Bagel varieties receive high marks for freshness and range, from classic New York and Montreal styles to turkey, veggie options, and seasonal twists, with portions described as generous and the overall experience showing solid consistency. Seasonal touches like a Valentine’s Day red bagel add a fun twist, though desserts such as red velvet cake are noted as needing a bit more refinement, and the absence of halal options is mentioned given the Lebanese ownership. The overall impression is that the place is a reliable, enjoyable spot for bagel lovers seeking a solid breakfast or coffee in a pleasant setting with good value and welcoming staff.View restaurant profile
