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.
Interesting concept of shaping sandwich into bagel shape
Not bagel dough but interesting concept for hot sandwich.
But overpriced ….close to $20 for a bite in a loud simple university like joint.
I visited this place yesterday & it's such a cute little bagel spot. We tried the bagel with dip-everything bagel with a vegan dip-& it was absolutely amazing. They also offer bagel sandwiches with some really unique options, including vegan choices, which I loved.
We couldn't resist trying the Oreo cookie, & it was delicious. I was honestly blown away by the taste & texture of the bagels. The coffee selection is limited (just black coffee & latte).
On top of that, the service was fantastic. Everyone working there was friendly & welcoming, which made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

It was very busy on Sunday, hard to get a place to sit but no line to counter. Took about 8 min to get the bagels & schmears & another 20 to get the sandwiches. If time is an issue, order ahead. Tried the poppy seed bagel & jalepeno dip immediately, perfect combo. Warm & soft on a cold day.
We had the tomato sandwich & the smoked meat stuffed one. They were so good. The tomato one is filling without being heavy, even though the bagels are way denser than the usual bagels.
I doubt the six I bought to take home are going to last the week. 100% will be back.
Nous sommes venue ici dans le cadre d'un concours gagné sur TikTok, ambiance chaleureuse & conviviale, personnel super accueillant. & que dire de la nourriture, je ne suis pas fan de saumon fumé , mais je me suis laissé convaincre d'essayer le sandwich au saumon fumé . Un vrai délice, bagel croustillant, généreuses portion de fromage à la crème aromatisée & de fines tranches de délicieux saumons fumés. Nous y retournerons sans hésite
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.
Excellent quality sandwiches. I had the best smoked salmon bagel sandwich of my life here. I also like the variety of creamcheeses, especially the one with lemon. Really friendly local place doing something differently than St-Viateur. Great customer service & the bagels are always fresh.

Nous avons été accueilli par une seule dame, très aimable, qui a également réalisé la cuisine, le dressage & le service à elle seule. Les bagels ont été un régal pour nous tous, le service a été assez rapide. Le sandwich ouvert au saumon est à 20$ taxes comprises pour information. C'est généreux en garniture, les petites & grosses faim y trouveront leur compte. Excellente surprise pour nous tous, nous y reviendrons avec grand plaisir.
The toppings were great but the bagel was pretty bad. It was absolutely not fresh, & hard to bite. When you are a bagel shop, your priority should be providing fresh bagels, right? Also, they won't let you choose the bagel for your sandwich to'balance the taste' & serve it with plain bagel. Why not letting the customer choose what they want to eat? Montreal has enough good bagel places to come back here again.
Super friendly. Tasty bagel with interesting spreads & sandwiches. Really enjoyed our lunch. & no line like the more well known places. Great choice! Only thing I wish they had was a sink to wash my hands or at least some sanitizer.

Pourquoi faire la queue un peu plus bas sur l'avenue chez St VTR pour des sandwiches bagel moins bons?
Belle découverte que ce bbagel: moelleux & généreux avec des garnitures variées & de qualité, le tout avec un beau sourire & une playlist qui ferait danser le trou du bagel. Une ou deux tables en plus des comptoirs ajouteraient à la convivialité.
Lovely service, friendly & welcoming staff, & the best smoked salmon sandwich ever! This place was recommended to us, & we highly recommend it to others!
Absolutely amazing bagel sandwiches. The thought that went into the flavor combinations & the presentation were just perfect. Lovely girl made our sandwiches & she took so much time to make sure that they were perfect. We tried 4 different sandwiches; tomato balsamic, egg salad, smoked salmon (divine) & the banana (mind blowing). Highly recommend this bakery.

i never leave reviews but this was incredible. the open-face smoked salmon sandwich was crafted by gods. savoury spread, fresh toppings, smoky perfection. & the rip & dip honey garlic jalapeno schmear is delicious - can't get enough. Super friendly staff, easy access spot w/ a cool view of local downtown life.
We visited our favourite bagel shop in their brand new, beautiful space
We were very happy to discover that the location is not all that is new! A tempting array of new items, including delicious bagel sandwiches, wowed us immediately, each a delightful combination of fresh ingredients, & each bite a perfect blend of flavors & textures.
You can't go wrong, but our absolute favourite was the smoked salmon sandwich, which was truly incredible, featuring really amazing smoked salmon on their famous homemade schmear.
The atmosphere at this new location remains upbeat, the bagels are as large as ever (because, yes, size still matters), & the creative schmears never disappoint. We highly suggest you try them for yourself ASAP. You'll be as hooked as we are!
