Welcome to our authentic and artisanal bagel shop, where we prove that size really does matter! Our bagels, twice the size of traditional ones, are made to be enjoyed fresh and hot. With us, it’s always bigger, fresher, and above all, more delicious! Come “rip N dip” with us!
Reviews of BBagels describe a warm family run spot with oversized fluffy bagels that feel like a New York style with a Montreal twist. Diners praise the open faced sandwiches and stuffed bagels, the rip and dip service style, and a wide lineup of house made schmears and dips, including vegan options like chimichurri and lemon scallion, plus inventive flavors such as honey garlic jalapeno and zaatar. The smoked salmon bagel and other bagel sandwiches are repeatedly highlighted as exceptional, with many calling the salmon bagel the best they have had. The texture is noted as crispy on the outside and soft inside, and portions are generous. Several reviews applaud the thoughtful low waste approach and friendly, welcoming staff, sometimes in a quaint neighborhood vibe, though a few mention price, wait times, or a non traditional bagel experience compared with classic Montreal staples. Overall, BBagels emerges as a standout, if occasionally divisive, option for bagel lovers seeking bold flavors and a high care level.
The bagels here are quite good-fresh, hot, & well-stuffed. We tried the Poulet, Marinara Pesto, & Cheese, & the quality was definitely there. However, at $20 per bagel, the price point feels a bit steep for what you get.
a world in which i can have a world in which i can have these bagels for breakfast every morning is a perfect, very yummy world. the bagels here are definitely a bit more untraditional, in terms of size, texture, & unique flavours like banana & honey, as well as their SCRUMPTIOUS cream cheese selection. i tried their smoked meat STUFFED BAGEL & it was insanely delectable. you can tell they didn't just throw a bunch of ingredients together haphazardly, but that they made sure everything worked well together. the smoked meat had a nice balance of chewy lean & fatty bits, & i really liked how it wasn't overly salty, oily, or overpowering. there was lots of melty cheese mingling with buttery, mushy mashed potatoes, which was super duper comforting. the bagel itself was super hefty, & the outside had a perfect slight crisp while retaining a nice & fluffy & soft doughy bread-like inside. the sesame seeds also sprinkled on top was also a nice touch of flavour. DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE CREAM CHEESE THOUGH - it's much creamier &'watery' than your typical thick schmear, but it was soooo good. the sweetness of the honey went so well with that subtle, sharp jalapeno taste & garlicky undertone, & the creamy freshness gave such a nice bright contrast to the hot stuffed bagel filling.
'Daaaaaaamnn'... thats what I said when I bit into their bagels.
Im use to NY bagels but I can honestly say I preferred these.
Not your typical sweet montreal bagel.
Much more airey type of bagel compared to NY.
The lox bagel was garnished with idk what but had a mix & blast of fresh flavors. Id say top 3 lox bagels of my life.
I also tried the Bacon egg & cheese one which there was only 2 left at 1:15PM. So get there before that time if you want the good stuff. The bagel is stuffed with the bacon egg & cheese.
I also tried the poutine special stuffed bagel.
Order of awesomeness. Lox bagel, poutine, then bacon egg & cheese. I expected the BEC to get #2.
Staff was super friendly & amazing.
Latte was flavorful & not bland.
Not so much space inside but who cares if your food is 10/10.
Parking was easy & free on sunday.
A must go if you are in Montreal. Added 1 hr to my ride but so worth it.
If youre looking for a traditional sesame cream cheese bagel taste with the dip inside the bagel, this is NOT the place. My pregnancy bagel craving was not satisfied. Other than that, place looked nice & friendly staff.
I'm amazed by the banana honey bagel. The richness of the flavor is like haven. I'm not sweet tooth & the sweetness of the bagel is perfect for me. Also bought their home made cream cheese & will attempt to reproduce at home when I go back to Toronto.
The owner/baker is very friendly & she's very helpful & obviously passionate. I personally didn't like the intensely elaborate bagels. To be offering New York style bagels in a city like Montreal, right next to St-Viateur, I really wish they offered at least normal breakfast options like regular cheese & butter instead of what looks like a carnival food item. Hard to find these bagels in Montreal when you're only visiting for a few days & you dont like Montreal-style bagels. I think they're leaving an opportunity on the table here to just offer great, non-elabortate simple bagel as an option. The plain bagel is tasty! But I could barely even bite into the banana, jalapeno, cream honey thing with lemon zest & rosemary - you are doing way too much for a bagel. The whole concept is strange in my opinion. It's like dessert on a bagel (& of course way more expensive than a normal bagel with toppings). & the zaatar wasn't great either. Also the place was full of bees when we were there in October. My girlfriend enjoyed her other dill pickle bagel though.
Finally, they have these intensely elaborate bagels but not a coffee machine. If you want coffee with your bagel (whether for breakfast or dessert) they encourage you to go for a walk & pick up a coffee from somewhere else & come back to pick up your bagel 😂
The bagel size was bigger than average, which was their specialty. The smoked salmon bagel was alright, I was expecting it to be a bit better for the price. Staff were nice
The onion cream cheese was quite tasty. I would recommend
I came to this area hoping to try the famous St. Viateur bagel, but turned away after seeing a massive lineup. Waiting 30 minutes for a single bagel didn't seem worth it, so I wandered over & discovered bbagel instead.
There was no line, & the friendly clerk took the time to explain the menu in detail. Their bagels are noticeably larger & thicker than the traditional Montreal style. I ordered an everything bagel with honey jalapeno cream cheese. It was a solid bagel. Nothing mind-blowing, but it's still pretty good.

Don't WALK, RUN to your favorite new bagels in Montreal. Trust me, I'm a native New Yorker with exquisite taste buds & very picky with my bagels esp when I feel like nothing beats NYC :) My husband & I were in Montreal for the week trying all the original & viral & top lists & BBagels will for sure leave a mark as the last thing we ate in the city, but certainly the most remarkable! I stumbled on this place on the map because we were looking for best bagel & tried five spots BEFORE discovering BBagels but all of them were lacking flavor, too long of lines, Hyped, cold bagels, too much sesame & then comes to find out that the typical Montreal style bagel is thin & kinda like a fagel, & has honey in it!!! 😭 NOT BBagels though, no honey! I was kindly educated by this nice man who helped me & explained BBagels is new since March. Not sure if he was the owner but I didn't want him to give me anything for free for my review so I just listened to his story & about their bagels & how they don't use honey so everything is vegan friendly! There was even a lot of speciality spreads & cream cheeses that are vegan too. I picked up a scallion & lemon zest cream cheese for my husband & I had tried the vegan chimmichuri butter one! Sooooo good. I love that BBagels is lesser known so there was NO line I walked straight in & was greeted with a smile & gave me a rundown on how the bagel routine worked - you rip a piece off & dip into your spread & it reminded me of Pop Up Bagel style in NYC! I love how all three of the bagels we tried were piping hot & straight out of the oven. So much flavor & fluffy!!! We had the Za'atar, Salt, & Everything. They also had some open faced specials too but I was just on the hunt for a simple bagel so we could do a comparison! Since this place is new I think it still needs to be discovered so I'm sure they are going to go viral soon! It's also perfect with a Cafe Olympico Iced Latte so def hit up both places & enjoy in the lovely parks.
Walking in, this place is very nicely curated however, this was not worth the hype the owner decided to give me. This man hyped up these bagels so heavy. Told me if it's not the best smoked salmon bagel I've had I'd get my money back. I gotta say, that kind of upsell set himself up for failure. As someone who enjoys a salmon bagel regularly, this was extremely mid. The bagel wasn't toasted, just a cold bagel with colder toppings. The dill cream cheese was liquid & there was barely any capers. Onions were nicely julienned but besides that, I truly don't know what makes this bagel worth $23. I told him I was gunna leave a review regardless of the turn out & it's just unfortunate that we're in a place where people can make mediocre food & have such confidence in it. Please toast your bagels before you serve them. Just because they're huge bagels doesn't make them worth the price. You have to put care into the food you make. Please & thanks. Disappointed & dissatisfied.
Leave your expectations at the door.
I did not believe we could reinvent the bagel but they have succeeded.
Try the salmon & cream cheese It's heavenly.
Thanks Byron for your hospitality.🐪

Si vous cherchez un bagel DIFFÉRENT à mtl, c'est l'endroit. Meilleurs que toutes les «institutions classiques» !! Durs à l'extérieur & fluffy à l'intérieur. Nous avons été «mind blown» par la qualité & le goût unique des différents cream cheese. Sans parler du service incroyable !!! C'est pas exagéré. Allez l'essayer c'est sincèrement worth it !!!
Maybe the best bagel I've ever had?? Served hot, deliciously flavoured cream cheese. Went in & had a bagel, finished the bagel, went back in & got another bagel
We split sesame bagel with honey jalapeno cream cheese as well as the salmon sandwich. The bagels are so fluffy, warm & soft, perfect for pulling apart. The cream cheese was outstanding. The star really was the salmon bagel sandwich, easily the best bagel I have ever had. The dill, lemon zest & all of toppings were incredible & the salmon was so fresh. The owner was also so kind & excited to share his concept with us. Could not recommend this place enough.
