Bagels on Greene is described as a busy, versatile spot with a huge selection of bagels, sandwiches, soups, salads, pastries and drinks, and a strong takeout focus with a few tables for a quick bite. Reviews highlight the bagels themselves, especially sesame and smoked salmon, with generous fillings and tasty seasoning, though some say the bagels can be hard or overcooked. Self serve coffee and cafeteria or counter service make it a solid choice for a fast stop rather than a leisurely meal. A wide range of prepared foods including vegetarian options, a hot vegetarian buffet, knishes, empanadas and more adds variety for different tastes. Prices are generally good value but can be high at times, with some commentary about price versus portion. Service is often described as friendly and efficient, though comments about rude staff or inconsistent service exist and lines can form at busy times. Overall, it feels nostalgic and neighborhood oriented, not a fancy sit-down restaurant, and many customers return for the bagels and the ready-to-eat options.
We went to Montreal as family trip. Two adults & four kids. It was really easy to find a spot to sit together. My husband & I loves foods. This place is very simple but definitely has a good character. You need to order first & they call your name. & you bring the bag to the casher at the front. Very simple. I love 12 grain bagel. Also smoked salmon sandwich is highly recommended. We went to there 3 times during 5 days stay. & we got 3 dozens assorted bagels to home. & we are happy!!
Very good bagels - not Montreal standard, but to me in a good way! There's a lot you can do with the sandwiches, & there are a lot of other food options - knishes, but also various veggie & meat salads, empanadas, & more. There's even a hot table with various curries & other foods. Very reasonable prices & prompt & cheery service. I love bringing people here for breakfast or light lunches!
Dropped in for a late afternoon bite, bagel or other. Ended up opting for the hot food bar options stocked with great tasting Indian (veg & non-veg) meals. A place to come back to while in the Westmount/Place Alexis-Nihon area
Would love to be able to give a good review. But alas BAGELS on Greene has no idea how to make BAGELS. Consistently RAW!!!! How is this so hard to remedy I've complained. It's not that they aren't aware. Can anyone please help them understand the process to properly making bagels? I keep going back out of convenience, & optimism that something will change.
I love this place. I first discovered it when I was going to Dawson & they used to be Real Bagel. It retains the good reputation & quality, now there are more items available for purchase. I recommend their samosas & pakoras.

They have a good variety if Indian food options. Especially in the self serve counter. But it looks a bit tacky in the middle of the whole place. Coffee place is a bit confusing. Probably they could improve their service there.
a GREAT breakfast spot, i highly highly recommend stopping here for the lox bagel. it was so good & the bagel was warm & fresh. i also had the potato knish which was so yummy, nice smooth potato purée with a delicious onion flavour encased in dough. would love to go back & try some of the sweets.
One of the classic breakfast places in downtown. Grab a fresh bagel & coffee here & pay a very fair price for it. I love this place & the ambience is warm & cozy. They have tons of seats as well.

I tried roast beef sandwich & artichoke salads. They were fresh & tasty. I got a coffee too, which was Ok. Staff were friendly & helpful. The only thing I didn't like was that I have to transfer everything by hand from the kitchen at one side of the store to the Cash on the other side for payment before sitting & eating. It's kind of wierd.
Interesting place. Almost like a NY style bodega? In addition to the bagels, there's soup & salads, a staffed juice bar, self serve coffee, pastries & more. Tables & a washroom. Good addition to the neighbourhood.
Meilleurs bagels à Montréal, tellement bon!! J'y vais souvent mais malheureusement je n'aime pas beaucoup le service. Toujours en anglais & assez bête. Ça serait bien que les propriétaires essaient d'améliorer cet aspect.
