Bbagels offers a standout culinary experience in Montreal, distinguishing itself with exceptionally fluffy, warm, and generous bagels that feature a satisfyingly crispy exterior.

I had the sesame bagel with a limited edition spread (honey rosemary). The spread was tasty & the bagel was fresh. Having had traditional MTL & NY bagels I would say bbagels is neither. Where they standout is their house made vegan spreads.
BBagel completely exceeded my expectations. The bagels are incredibly soft & fluffy, & they're even better warmed up. The toppings are generous, & the schmear dips are fantastic. The Honey Garlic Jalapeno schmear was easily the standout-packed with flavor & absolutely worth trying.
I originally stopped in just to give them a try, but I enjoyed everything so much that I went back the very next day to buy more. I noticed the long line at St-Viateur, but honestly, I'd choose BBagel every time. The quality, freshness, & flavor make it well worth the visit.
I had the banana & honey bagel & egg bacon cheese stuffed bagel. I thought the banana honey is just sweet & fruity, but it's mixed with onion, thyme, garlic etc which makes it so weird, & completely overpowers the honey & banana. The stuffed one is really good & big, I only finished half of it, & it's stuffed very full where the breading is thin, which is amazing. Highly recommend the stuffed bagel.
Not the most traditional, but certainly the highest quality bagel you'll find in Montreal. This is the bagel-snob's bagel. To get the best, ask for their recommendation & trust them. Bagels come out so fresh they will burn your fingers if you're not careful! The smoked salmon bagel is fantastic with house smoked salmon & topped with fresh herbs & lemon zest. The jalapeno garlic honey cream cheese dip is mild enough for kids & not too sweet for adults. Our kids wanted the Nutella strawberry bagel, however when Nutella was spread on a piping hot bagel it gets pretty liquid & quickly all over kids. 🤣 I think bbagel's'rip-&-dip' style would be better suited to a deli-cup of Nutella for dipping & a small side of strawberries as chaser. I wish we'd skipped the most well known bagel shop down the street & ate here for another breakfast. We look forward to another delicious rip-&-dip! Posting a pick of the salmon bagel that everyone else posted… because it's THAT amazingly good.
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.
I recently visited BBagels with my friend Sarah, who was invited in to taste the menu & shoot content. I came along as the hand model & very willing taste tester.
This is their first winter since opening in April 2025, & the intention behind the place really shows. The space used to be a clothing store before Byron & his family took it over, & now it feels warm & lived-in… with small details that tell a story. The concept started as a pop-up in Pointe-Saint-Charles, & that roots-first energy is still very present.
The bagels themselves are fluffy & filling, with a crisp exterior & a soft interior. They offer both classic options & playful twists like za'atar-crusted or smoked-meat-stuffed bagels. My favorite schmear was the honey garlic jalapeno… sweet on the first bite, then slowly warming, the kind of flavor that keeps you ripping & dipping until there's nothing left. A close second was the scallion & lemon zest, bright & fresh, with just enough tang to cut through the richness.
What stood out most was the care behind the scenes. BBagels takes a very practical zero-waste approach: leftover bagels become homemade chips offered as samples, & a single lemon is fully used across the menu… zest in schmear, juice for homemade lemonade, & the rest folded into marmalade. Nothing feels performative, just thoughtful.
They offer open-faced sandwiches, rip-&-dip bagels, stuffed bagels, & recently added soup. The soup does sell out quickly, so arriving earlier is a good idea. That said, it feels less like a drawback & more like a sign that everything here is made in real time, not mass-produced or rushed.
Byron runs the shop as a true family business, & you'll sometimes see his kids helping out, which adds to the sense of community. By the door, there's also a small notebook where customers can doodle or leave a note, like a casual guest book that quietly reinforces that neighborhood feel.
Not flashy & not trying too hard… just well-made bagels, excellent schmear, & a clear sense of care behind every decision. A place that feels good to support, & even better to eat at.
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 😂
