Fairmount Bagel Bakery

If the line-ups don't assure you that this is a great place & a Montréal staple, then please read the following. I am not a bagel person (Type 1 diabetic) but these bagels are so delicious! When visiting family/friends, I ALWAYS get the special request to bring them Fairmount Bagels! Service is always efficient, & recently, I had Michael help me out. He surpassed my expectations! Thank you Michael!!!! Yes, counter service is basic BUT it is bilingual! As well, they multi-task to be sure to serve more than 1 client at once. Line-ups are crazy on weekends but Tuesday afternoon at 2pm & Wednesday morning at 10am was quick (dated July 16-17, 2024) ** FYI: they are open 24/7. ** Parking (street meters) can be a challenge but so far I've been lucky :-) Space is small & cramped, but this is part of the experience. I never leave without having a nice chat with someone, whether it be a local Quebécois or out-of-town tourists. As for anyone giving a 1-2 star bcuz of method of payment, your reviews are in bad taste & NOT genuine to the food/experience. Reviews are meant to be impartial/unbiased. Please be sure to have currency in the country your are visiting & stop giving bad reviews bcuz you're incompetent travelers (credit card payment means extra fees for merchants which, in turn, increase prices for everyone). This is a small shop offering quality bagels. It's not their job to be converting USD funds into CAD to benefit you. No doubt line-ups are long bcuz of tourists like C. VanderHart. Note: I reported your review bcuz it's not accurate. While waiting in line, I spoke to a local who told me he buys the prepackaged dozen bagels & freezes them, Every morning he microwaves them for 25 seconds & swears it tastes just as good as the fresh ones. Plus, they are less expensive. Thank you to that local man for the tip!!!

Definitely the best bagels I have tried, so fresh & warm, straight form the oven. I would recommend sesame one. I had as well a garlic bagel, but it was a bit too much garlic. Bring cash, they accept debit only from 10$

They only take cash & debit cards, they were so kind to us oblivious tourists that they took the few dollars we had in USD & gave us bagels for free, so kind! The bagels were awesome & every else I went I'd see their bagels in restaurants & cafes. Clearly some of the best in the city. This was also my favorite neighborhood in Montreal, so it was great to eat a great bagel & enjoy the place

- 갓 나온 베이글 그냥 먹어도 쫀득하니 맛있음 - 건포도와 해바라기씨가 들어간 power bagel 추천 - sesame가 가장 유명하다지만 왜 다들 좋아하는지 모르겠음 - 샌드위치 없고 크림치즈 따로 팜 - Laurier 역에서 도보로 10분 정도 떨어져 있음

We got the freshest bagels I've ever had in my life. Still piping hot. So yummy. I could've eaten all six & still wanted more.

Delicious bagels & not too pricy in town 🥨 with different flavour options to choose. Freshly made & serve it warm. I tried their blueberry one, they made it with real fruits. Yummy! 😋😋😋 Take out option only btw, also they only accept cash or debit card.
