La Bagelerie

Rawdon

Breakfast Bagels Café

Review Summary

Patrons describe La Bagelerie as a cozy, welcoming spot with a sunny terrace and warm decor that is kid-friendly, where bagels and hearty breakfasts are a strong draw and the service is generally friendly and efficient. The menu gets praise for substantial breakfasts, generous portions and dishes that recall Montreal bagel flavors, making it a popular brunch destination worth a detour. Some meals, however, fall short with a vegetarian casserole that has too many potatoes and too few vegetables, and a few reports of ordinary or burnt potatoes, small portions and missing depth in certain sauces. Service can be variable, with some visits noting attentive staff and quick service, while others complain about delays, small coffee cups and inattention. Prices are occasionally described as high, and a few diners mention not returning due to service or consistency issues. Overall, the reviews point to a strong bagel and brunch-focused concept, a friendly atmosphere and a place many patrons would return to for a reliable, enjoyable start to the day, albeit with caveats about consistency.View restaurant profile
