BBagels stands out with oversized fluffy bagels that are crisp on the outside and generously stuffed, paired with a wide array of homemade cream cheeses and dips, including vegan options, and flavors like lemon zest scallion honey garlic jalapeno and chimichurri.

Reviews highlight standout smoked salmon bagels and other stuffed options, with many calling the salmon lox among the best ever and praising bold flavors and well balanced fillings. Service is repeatedly described as warm and attentive, with quick helpful staff and a lively casual setting, though some customers feel the price point is steep for what is offered and a few items can feel heavy or inconsistent. Overall, Bbagels is seen as a fresh innovative Montreal spot that delivers memorable flavors, generous portions and a distinctive bagel experience.
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.

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.
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.
Je suis passée chez bbagels pour découvrir ce nouveau coin à bagels sur l'avenue Mont-Royal. Le concept m'a été expliqué par une employée : chaque bagel est vendu avec une tartinade (schmear), & leur spécialité ce sont les gros bagels. J'ai vraiment aimé la taille généreuse de leurs bagels, ainsi que la variété proposée mention spéciale au bagel au zaatar, que j'ai adoré.
Cependant, j'ai été déçue par l'expérience client. J'étais venue avec l'intention d'acheter six bagels à déguster, mais on m'a obligée à prendre une trempette avec chacun d'eux. Cette politique rigide m'a donné l'impression d'être dans une cantine scolaire, où l'on m'impose ce que je dois manger. La responsable a insisté pour que je prenne le bagel zaatar avec trempette & du houmous, une combinaison qui, selon moi, ne fonctionne pas du tout. J'ai fini par choisir une trempette végane au chimichurri que je ne connaissais pas & lorsque j'ai demandé les ingrédients, la réponse a été vague & embarrassée. En tant que cliente, j'ai le droit de savoir ce que je mange. Si l'équipe est gênée d'en parler, une simple affiche avec les ingrédients serait bienvenue.
Finalement, j'ai acheté un bagel zaatar chaud que j'ai trouvé très bon mais je n'ai pas pu savoir s'il était réellement frais. Rien n'indiquait clairement cela. Quant à la trempette chimichurri, ce fut un grand NON pour moi.
Pour couronner le tout, le monsieur qui m'a servi a mis le bagel & la trempette dans le sac rapidement, & les deux semblaient pressés que je parte. Je ne me suis pas sentie la bienvenue, ce qui m'a beaucoup déçue.
Je mets trois étoiles uniquement pour la qualité du bagel au zaatar, ainsi que pour la déco & l'ambiance musicale, que j'ai trouvées agréables. J'espère sincèrement que l'équipe reconsidérera sa politique pour laisser les clients choisir leurs bagels sans obligation de trempette, & surtout, qu'ils accueilleront les critiques constructives avec ouverture. C'est ainsi qu'on s'améliore & qu'on fidélise sa clientèle.
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!
This is by far the best bagel I've ever tasted! I seriously couldn't stop eating I ended up having three bagels with their bacon schmear (unreal!). I was in town for a trade show & stopped by once… then came back all three days of the show. On the last day, I finally tried the salmon sandwich, & wow amazingggg. Wish I had gotten it on day one.
The guy at the counter was super friendly, & the place was spotless. If you're a bagel lover, this spot is an absolute must-try.
The rip & dip technique is new to me (confession: I took this moment of unconventional bagel eating to also just take a bite out of it like it was a donut... first time for everything right? felt amazing, might never cut a bagel again) anyway back on track. These are the BIGGEST & SQUISHIEST bagels in this town. & they're absolutely delicious. I tried cinnamon, poppyseed & sesame & for real the way the sesame was toasted was so flipping good. Cinnamon paired with the schmear of the day... bacon & maple I think... match made in heaven. I haven't stopped thinking about these bagels since.
Also the gal behind the counter was absolutely lovely, if you have time get the full story behind the bbagels!! Ya won't regret it.
