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.
All around, this place is a 3.5 star for me. Food is good & location is convenient for many living locally. I had the eggs Benedict with salmon & a macadamia latté for to 32$ with the 15% tip. Nothing particularly special as far as culinary delights. Coffee was a little watered down & I asked for a bit of butter for my naked half bagel & they gave me margarine. I also ordered one of their hash browns & had a very heavy oil flavour & possibly deep fried a couple times. A nice portion of fruit on the plate may depend if they are fresh. They have a different approach to serving you from behind the counter but the service is good & fast. This little spot has their own urban style. If you want to order anything, you have to do so from the counter & from there they bring your food to your table number. Family friendly especially if you are a small family as it isn't a big place.

Les bagels sont super bons, quel bonheur de les avoir dans le quartier. Pareil pour les lunch & les cafés, en plus le staff est adorable & l'intérieur super joli
The atmosphere & service are good but the food was average. Bagels are like rounded-shaped toast, not real bagels. Benedicts only come with one egg. Not the default two served in most places. Prepare for the upsell for a second one, as well as the hashbrown which is also an extra. A bit pricey for what you get. The fresh orange juice machine they use is great though, it's freshly squeezed on the spot.
j'y suis aller avec mon chien dans mes bras pour passer une commande a emporter (chien support émotionnel), j'ai passer ma commande tous en demandant 2 fois un beagles nature/nature avec rien & un matcha. on m'a fait attendre dehors accuse de mon chien, j'ai reçus ma commande avec un beagles au fromage (intolérance au lactose) puis sa ma couter 11$ pour un service assez bof. vous devriez mettre dans votre vitrine que vous n'acceptez pas les chiens & aussi prévenir pour les allergies/ intolérance.

This is one cozy place to have a fresh bite. The coffee is one of my favorite in Verdun, bagels are always delicious. Service with a smile. The corner spot by the windows with cushions is perfect for reading/studying or just look at the rain fall on a lazy Sunday. A must go to place in Verdun.
Nice coffeeshop in Verdun to have breakfast. Quite roomy for eat indoor or outdoor. Nice staff & fast service. Quiet & you get to choose a mug for your filter coffee. Great brunch spot or to get your daily coffee.
The food is delicious. Prices are very good for the portions. The service is amazing & the atmosphere, except for the loud music that makes you speak louder than usual, is very trendy. A great spot to enjoy a delicious coffee & a bagel 🥯😋.
Très bonne ambiance & décor. Aussi lamusique n'est pas trop forte. La nourriture était excellente & les employés étaient très gentil ! J'aurais dû essayer ce restaurant plus tôt :)
