Everything I tasted there it was fantastic, the cheese bagel with shmear & Harissa, & regular Bagels are so good. The HARISSAH was the best I have ever had, & I just went there to purchased two more jars.
Very cute Lachine local cafe Atmosphere.
One of the best bagel shops in Montreal. They make & serve Jerusalem bagels, which I find much tastier than Montreal bagels & are great for sandwiches.
Came in for a typical bagel & cream cheese but this beautiful bagel shop exceeded my expectations! They have an incredible variety of different flavoured cream cheese (mine was Zataar & I added onion & capers). The bagel had a light crunch in top & super soft inside. It was an absolute Delight especially with fresh mint tea! We ate it so fast we didn't think of taking a pic :( However… we did take advantage of an awesome special & went home with 7 bagels & a small cream cheese for 10$!!!! & we bought some delicious Sufganiyot (donuts) that were so delicious & super fresh that they barely made it home! Totally loved this place & will come back real soon!
Je recommande fortement! Leurs pitas, bagels de Jérusalem, sambusacs, sfinjs (beignets marocains) & leurs sandwichs sont délicieux Ça vaut la peine d'y faire un tour!

What a fresh start of my day!!!!! Boulangerie Bagel is a hidden gem for anyone craving delicious, fresh bagels. The staff is friendly & knowledgeable, always willing to help you choose the perfect bagel & recommend spreads or toppings. The atmosphere of the bakery is warm & inviting, with a cozy yet modern vibe. It's a great spot to enjoy a bagel & coffee while watching the world go by.
Top quality food & a very nice atmosphere. They even have toys to keep kids entertained, giving the parents a little extra time to savour the excellent food. I could eat their shishtaouk sandwich every day
Their bagels & tapas are to die for! Everything my partner & I tried was absolutely delicious & the staff were super friendly. We played a round of backgammon while waiting for our order which included shakshuka, bagels, hummus, an eggplant spread, & dessert. Everything was fresh & tasted amazing, price was very fair as well. Make sure to check out their online menu as there is more than meets the eye on the menu behind the cash.
