Reviews describe Bagel St-Lo as a beloved neighborhood spot with homemade bagels, strong coffee, and a warm vintage vibe that feels welcoming to families and regulars; the Verdun location is often highlighted for brunch and casual meals. The bagels are praised for freshness, variety, quality ingredients, and textures, with notes on sesame and poppy seeds and flavorful cream cheeses or spreads; many say the bagels taste exceptional and that meals on site or to go are convenient. The staff are repeatedly described as friendly, attentive, and genuine, with many customers feeling remembered and well cared for even during busy periods, and the atmosphere is consistently described as cozy, charming, and sometimes lively with artful decor and a terrace. Beyond bagels, soups, salads, and brunch items are well received and considered good value, though a few reviews mention portions can be modest or substitutions pricey. Parking can be tricky due to street layout and bike lanes, but nearby streets offer easier options. Some comments caution that vegan or gluten free bagels may resemble flatbread rather than true bagels, and a small number note occasional inconsistency in bagel size or quality during busier times.
We had to make a quick overnight trip to Montreal, in the morning we had breakfast at tuiti fruit near the hotel. On our way home we decided since we were in Montreal we had to grab a bagel. Google suggested Bagel St-Lo Verdun. I felt the bagels were a bit small for the price. I liked the texture of the bagels.
I had the Italien
Mortadelle, salami de gênes, capicolle, provolone gratiné, moutarde au choix
I ordered the omlette sandwich which was an interesting experience, have never eaten this before. The omlette was fantastic & the sauce was great, but the sandwich lost it's format within a few bites. It got messy but it was enjoyable, even though I couldn't really experience the actual bagel amidst the other flavours going on. There was a generous spread of fruit on everyone's plate which added some value. I wasn't blown away by the meal itself to be honest but I was satisfied. No complaints on the service either, food was served quickly. What really redeemed this place for me were the few bagels I took with me. The cheddar one did not make it home, it was phenomenal. The other two bagels that did make it to my apartment were also of astounding quality. This place is pretty far from my top brunch spots but it might have become my favourite new bagel spot, the prices are pretty good compared to other gourmet bagels as well.

Really great food, super friendly staff. Cute inside & a terrace. The plates are decently sized & come with a pile of fresh fruit. The hollandaise sauce is super good & they give you a lot. You can even purchase some premade meals in the entrance as well as some wines. They have gluten free bagels on request as well. The home made raspberry lemonade is delicious & the coffee is good as well. Not a ton of menu options but what they do have is with it. Highly recommend going to this place if you are in the area, or even if you're not.
Pets are also allowed on the terrace which is a nice touch. Staff are quick & attentive.
Cute little spot, very cozy & at-home atmosphere. The breakfast bagels are good but not out of this world. Service was quick (pay before you eat), the place was busy but we were able to sit on Sunday early afternoon right away. If you're in the area, great option for a good quick sit down breakfast
love this place been coming here weekly for about a year now. Recently I have noticed their "quick menu" of just the real simpler ones has gotten a bit pricier. Didnt bother me too much as I notice them constantly renovating the place. What bothered me in the noticeable portion cuts as well. My BLT last week was weak & small, compared to the usual spilling of bacon. A different morning my bacon egg & cheese lacked as well. From a near 10-15% price increase with a cut in portions I'll just be coming in less often.
I'm new to the neighborhood, & I stopped by for a quick bagel & cream cheese & was delighted to find a quality product at a very reasonable price & great atmosphere & service. I'll definitely be back for more?
Lovely fresh bagels in the heart of Verdun. Came in with low expectations but left very happy & satisfied, will definitely be a returning customer. The service was extremely quick, we got our food within 5 minutes of ordering. We had the smoked salmon with cream cheese capers & red onion bagel, my favorite. We so had a an egg bagel with tomato cheese lettuce & mayo. Cappuccino was good as well.

Came in for a quick bagel & hashbrown. Got the egg, bacon & cheese on a sesame bagel. The bagel was great, had a good chewy texture with lots of sesame seeds. The hashbrown was good. The patio is covered & very cozy. They also have indoor seating. There are indoor seats by the window that are really cool. There were a lot of fun pictures & artwork scattered throughout the restaurant. Staff were friendly & service was quick. Would recommend!
Really enjoyed breakfast here the other day. It's clearly a well loved establishment, you can tell by how busy it is, but the service was quick & friendly & the food, delicious! I'll definitely be back.
The concept of self-serve is a good idea, different from other places like it, & the food is good! The coffee was average but overall I would go back for a quick bite!
