Review Summary

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.

Nouvelle découverte d'un lieu qui existe depuis 11 ans.

Bagels faits maison. 3 sortes seulement (sesame, pavot & je ne rappelle plus),

Ils sont excellents! Je n'aurai plus besoin d'aller jusqu'au Bagel Fairmount, & étre prise dans le trafic, car Bagel St-Lo les accote.

Les repas y compris soupe, salade & sandwich sont aussi excellents!

N'hésitez pas à venir y faire votre tour.

Note sur le stationnement: la piste cyclable passe des 2 côtés de la rue devant le café d'où l'impossibilité de stationner.

Par contre, le stationnement est TRÈS TRÈS ACCESSIBLE sur les rues perpendiculaires (de chaque côté du Bagel St-Lo)

Je viens d'aller manger là bas! Un mardi au dîner. Service mega rapide. Le personnel est souriant. Aliments frais. Ils ont même une petite table de 2 pour les personnes moins sociables. Le repas a été servie en 2 minutes. Vraiment incroyable. Je recommande fortement ! 21$ pour soupe, bagel saumon & salades. Rive sud tu aurais payé au moins 27$ juste pour le bagel.

🥯 Update: November 2024 I've been coming to bagel St-Lo almost as long as it's been open, so I've seen it evolve over the years. In the beginning, it was a cozy, popular local bagel spot where you could expect to see the owner herself every day. It became so successful that they expanded into the space nextdoor. Even through a global pandemic, the community stepped up to keep their favourite bagel joint afloat. Today, St-Lo is a bustling brunch & breakfast restaurant & permanent fixture in Verdun that practically runs itself. Here's the thing: over the years, I've evolved too. In the beginning, I tried tons of things on the menu. Then I became vegetarian, but I still had several options. Eventually, I became vegan, & suddenly I could have only one dish on the menu. What disappoints me is that in all this time, the menu has hardly changed. Sure, they redesigned the look & feel of it, & maybe changed a few details here & there, but I guess they figure why change something that works. Today, as I sat in front of my plate, looking at the SAME flat gluten-free vegan bagel they've had for years, stuffed with the SAME arugula, hummus & Alfalfa sprouts, with a side of the SAME (but almost imperceptibly smaller) plain bell-pepper-&-lettuce salad, topped with the SAME dressing (which now makes me think of that "Svbway sandwich smell"), garnished with ONE kalamata olive & ONE cherry tomato, as usual, I started to wonder if this might be the last time I ate here for awhile. I still love St-Lo, but there's only so many times you can have the same dish without getting fed up of it. I wish they'd switch up a few menu items made with local, seasonal ingredients, like they do with their seasonal soup. Un 2e choix végane serait bien apprécié en tout cas. 🙏🏻 🗓 Original review (2020) I love Bagel St-Lo. It's one of Verdun's hidden gems. Bagel St-Lo makes the sweetest, freshest, most delicious bagels in Montreal. In my opinion, they're even better than hot St-Viateur & Fairmount bagels. I buy half a dozen St-Lo bagels almost every week; I can reheat them in the oven a week later after having kept them only in the fridge, & they taste just as fresh, which I can't say for any other bagel I've tried, fresh or day-old. Bagel St-Lo provides compostable takeout containers, paper straws & spaghetti sticks to stir your coffee. They have two self-serve coffee stations with mismatched mugs. Their black coffee is great, & I love their almond milk lattes. Bagels are incorporated into just about every dish on the breakfast, brunch & lunch menu. The restaurant has great vegetarian options & some vegan & gluten-free options. I've tried & enjoyed meals on the spot & to go, & they never disappoint. They're usually just enough for me, but someone who likes a copious breakfast might not be entirely full. The restaurant decor is eclectic & fun to look at, & the owners regularly display local artists' work. The place is really cozy & has outdoor seating in the summer. Bagel St-Lo is so popular that they acquired the space next door & expanded their restaurant, so seating has doubled. It's a big win for local diners! The new counter space is trendy but fits in well with the casual, colourful space. I love eating out on the terrasse in the summer. The wait is rarely more than 5 to 10 minutes, the table service is fast, & the staff is always very friendly. It's no wonder the place is always packed!

I was not a fan of the food. The tomato soup was not good at all. It made me really sick. I had the turkey bagel & it was okay. The service was great.

Stopped here on our way out of Montreal & so glad we did rather than a touristy place in the city. Very cute cafe, nice patio with tasty bagel sandwiches. I appreciated the soup was dairy free.

A lunch spot that I have been going to for a while now. They have gluten-free bagels which I appreciate a lot. Their soup has no dairy & their coffee is good. You get to choose your cup & today this was mine 😊

I love this spot! I bring all my friends & loved ones here for brunch. Their business model is great! You order & pay, then you are served at your table within like 5-10 minutes (very impressive). The self serve coffee means you can help yourself whenever you want & you get to choose a cute mug from their wide selection. They also offer many dairy alternatives (you just have to ask for it at the counter). Their daily soup is always vegan & never fails to delight. They have gluten free bagels available. Their hollandaise sauce is to die for! Their fruits that come with the breakfast plates are always perfectly ripe! No server rushes you to leave or makes you feel pressured in any way. I've been able to sit here for quite some time just chatting away with loved ones. The decor is great, their music is varied, & the staff are super friendly 😊 They're always busy, but I've never had to wait longer than 30 minutes to be seated even with a large group, & they let you enjoy coffee while you wait. I recommend this spot to anyone who loves bagels & is a fan of excellent food 👌
