Yagel Bagel

Review Summary

Reviews describe Yagel Bagel as a strong West Island staple with great bagels and a wide selection of breads, pastries and cold cuts, including popular tuna and egg salad bagels, though some options can be bland and prices feel high. The shop is small and can feel claustrophobic at peak times, and clearer price labeling could help as buns and bagels can be expensive. On site made rolls and careful packing of cold cuts, along with a friendly, efficient service vibe, are highlighted. Challah and other comforting pastries are well loved, and pre made sandwiches are popular for lunches, though a lunch counter is often wished for. There is a wide range beyond bagels, with traditional and twist baked goods, breads and donuts such as a strawberry donut noted as excellent. Overall, Yagel Bagel is seen as fresh, delicious and welcoming, with a strong local following and a sense of care in the offerings.View restaurant profile
