About

Bagel Etc produces iconic Montreal style bagels characterized by a distinctively chewy interior and a golden, blistered crust achieved through traditional wood fired baking techniques. These hand rolled rings are boiled in honey water to ensure the signature flavor profile that defines the local culinary identity. Beyond the classic sesame and poppy seed varieties, the establishment offers a diverse selection of hearty sandwiches featuring premium meats, cheeses, and fresh vegetables layered upon these dense, malted carriers. The interior environment emphasizes a functional and straightforward aesthetic that prioritizes the rapid delivery of high quality baked goods for patrons. Strict adherence to long standing artisanal methods maintains the specific textural integrity required for an authentic product. Patrons encounter a specialized menu focused on the fundamental elements of yeast dough preparation and savory protein pairings.

We stopped by here just to get a coffee. Very nice people. This is where Leonard Cohen used to hang out, & that red stool is where he used to sit. When they renovated the place, they kept the stool.

THE BEST BREAKFAST IN MONTREAL. I mean that. Been coming to bagel for more than 5 years - it consistently delivers amazing food, coffee & service. Authentic staff, beautiful ambience & genuine vibes. A must if you're in the city & wake up craving a delicious, hearty meal 💯

Nice atmosphere in a cool looking spot. Coffee was not very good. Food was decent but nothing special.

Visited Bagel Etc on Saint Laurent Street on a Saturday. The crowded ambiance & constant noise detracted from the experience. Despite a diverse menu, the food was ordinary, lacking any standout flavors. The coffee, unfortunately, didn't leave a lasting impression. Overall, an average brunch spot with room for improvement.

Went in to have a light meal & coffee but the prices were insane. A plain bagel is $3-4 but if you want to add cream cheese it's an extra $3 for that? We were sat in this cute window seat which was fine but the neon sign that's directly beside you, is soo loud & distracting. The coffee was nothing special, & I was extremely disappointed that a cafe didn't have any Wi-Fi?

Coffee taste like water. Food was ok. Service was quick but then again potatoes were still cold & onions half cooked. Would not return.

The best brunch for a post-celebratory evening. Simon, our short-order cook, starts our brekkie as soon as he sees us walk in the door. We go for the hardcore breakfast: two overeasy eggs, bacon, Knackwürst sausage, dijon, authentic Montreal bagel, crwam cheese, hash browns & coffee "à volonté" with fresh squeezed OJ. with taxes & tip, a couplw eats for about $25. Satiated!!!
