Bbagels

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.

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.

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.

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!

I had the salt bagel with honey jalapeno cream cheese & my partner tried the green onion & lemon cream cheese. The flavors of the cream cheese were delicious & unique. The bagels were warm, crispy on the outside yet fluffy on the inside, & quite large. Everything was great & we will be coming back. Hoping for some more cream cheese flavors in the future ☺?
