Bagel molto buoni, puoi comprare le farcitura da inserire.
Consiglio quello al sesame!
Accettano pagamenti con carta di debito con una spesa superiore a 10 cad
Sooooo rude! They only take canadian debit card or cash. & then they say we take US or CAD but the exchange rate for them is 1:1. Goodness that's how you destroy tourism!!!! Sooo incredibly unfriendly!!!!!
Edit: bumped up 1 star because of owner's reply, thank you. I actually drove many km to the store. My 2 debit cards were tried by phone & the physical cards. They are from Canadian banks & I have used numerous/hundreds of times in Montreal & all over the world. I suggest discussing with your payment system provider to'avoid confusion' where there should be none.
Beware, very limited payment options. 2 different bank debit cards did not work. Cashier said was because don't accept debit mastercard (it was a bank chequing debit card that also had mastercard logo), so I tried second card - same result. No credit cards accepted either. Very frustrating experience. Cinnamon raisin bagels were okay... but way overpriced.
Montreal classic bagels, somewhat flat if compared to NY-style. The store is easy to spot, no line when I arrived but it moves steadily when guests start arriving. Plan ahead your order, be kind to the small crew. The pretzel isn't such, just the folds give a pretzel shape, not a good value or specialty creation. The store clearly states that they don't accept credit cards. So, if you are not a local using debit, bring cash. They accept usd $ at $1 for 1$. Some of us paid in usd, not very visitor-friendly move. Still, their prices are budget & worth the visit.
What I Like 👍:
A) Fresh bagels if you order at the front.
B) They have cream Cheese & spreads for sale as well.
C) It has history & a one of the popular bagel shops.
D) Service is good. They are bilingual. French & English.
What I did not like 👎:
A) Some of the bells they give were a little burnt for me.
B) It's a not a bagel shop where they put meat or salmon etc. Many tourist think it's like a sandwich shop.
C) No credit. Only Canadian Debit or Money.
D) Pricey for my budget still worth it though.
Final thoughts 💭:
It's a good & decent bagel shop. Been here many times. Just improve on the bagels & customer sastifactoon.

An iconic bagel shop in Montreal that's conveniently open 24/7. I got their sesame & onion bagels which I enjoyed. Personally do prefer St.Viatuer's but these are quite good as well. They are cash only under $10 I believe & also accept debit.
The bagels are amazing! They are cash or Canadian debit only, but they will take American cash.
Note, below $10, they will only take cash. I only had old notes, which they rejected. Also only local debit cards accepted, but will take overseas cards for a fee. At that point, I left, without trying. St-Viateur win hands down with their immaculate service. For just over $8 for 2 bagels & tuna spread, they provided serviettes, a knife, & cleaned a preparation table for me, all with friendly smile, & accepted my overseas credit card without any fuss.
