Bbagels is a popular local spot celebrated for its unique, fluffy, New York style bagels that feature a satisfyingly crispy exterior and soft interior. While some visitors find the pricing high and the mandatory dip concept rigid, many patrons praise the creative, gourmet flavour combinations and generous portions of the stuffed and open faced options. The atmosphere is consistently described as warm, welcoming, and community focused, with many guests highlighting the exceptional friendliness and passion of the staff. Though not a traditional Montreal style shop, it has become a go to destination for those seeking a fresh, high quality alternative that prioritizes flavour, creativity, and thoughtful service.
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 !!!
