Reviews describe Brossard Bagel as a spot with delicious, freshly baked bagels in a range of flavors, including coconut and sesame, with many saying the bagels are best when hot from a wood-fired oven and that the atmosphere is welcoming. The bagel sandwiches and the Jamaican dishes are frequently praised, as is the freshness and variety, with some noting the cross between bagels and Caribbean offerings as unusual but appealing. Service is often described as friendly and efficient, and the location is considered a local gem on the South Shore. A few concerns appear, such as occasional undercooked bagels on some visits and a health concern raised about plastic bags touching hot bagels, plus a mention that roti or patties may not meet expectations. Overall, Brossard Bagel emerges as a must visit for bagel lovers, with live bagel making and quick, warm service that encourages return visits.
They have amazing bagels. The standard & flavoured bagels. They have delicious danishes & you can get roti & Pattie's here. The samosas are delicious also!
We recently visited Montreal for the first time. Unfortunately, we didn't have very much time & well we had our dog. She's lovely & I'm glad we have her but she's a bit attached so leaving her for long periods of time at a hotel wasn't possible (stay tuned, this DOES factor into the review).
Because of the dog, we didn't have a chance to get to a bakery for bagels. Bagels were one of the primary goals. BUT, Door Dash to the rescue. We ordered from Brossard Bakery & received absolutely delicious breakfast sandwiches (Sandwich au saumon fume & the simply named Breakfast bagel) & 6 sesame bagels.
Being from the states we were immediately & pleasantly surprised by how nothing seemed overly salty. The salmon was tender (sometimes smoked salmon can be tougher), the bacon was meaty, not greasy & not SALTY. WHAT The bagels aren't made with salt & not only does it make for a phenomenal bagel but it also saved us later on. It was all delicious. The egg was fluffy & creamy, reminded me of tamago or a Japanese egg omelet with the slight sweetness.
My partner immediately started having a crisis over how much she loved these bagels after a lifetime of LA delis & their amazing bagels.
After eating, we packed up our bagels & headed out of Canada towards Vermont to start the New England portion of our trip. We got about 2 hours into it & had to split a sesame bagel that we both had been thinking about the entire time.
Within a couple of hours we were stopping in NH & checking into a wonderful little inn in Sunapee. As we headed back to the car my partner yells OH SH*T!!! OPEN THE CAR!!! I thought the car had been broken into or the dog was hurt... but no... she had realized that the dog had been left alone with the remaining 5 bagels.
We nearly cried when we opened the door & saw the bag with a hole chewed through the bottom & sesame seeds everywhere with not a single morsel of bagel left. I had to lean against the car for strength.
We still haven't forgiven her. Yes, we still love her but we can't let go of the lost bagels.
So, if I had one recommendation for Brossard Bagel it would be to start shipping their bagels & INTERNATIONALLY. Well, at least ship to the US.
Delicious bagels & amazing staff. Us Anglophones came in on Thanksgiving, hungry & with awful French skills, & not only were the bagels amazing but the staff were as well. They got us the freshest ones & were super friendly & patient with us because we were so excited & confused. We left with 3 bagel sandwiches & a dozen bagels for home along with instructions for how to keep them fresh. When I say the bagels were amazing, I mean we ate some of the fresh ones plain, just bit into them. When we left we saw the terrific window art & were extra pleased to have supported this business. Thank you!
Best bagles in Quebec in my opinion. You can go there & always get a fresh batch. They also have a variety of flavors that are exquisite. You have to try Montreal Steak Spice!
