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.

Bagels were just okay. Tourist trap unfortunately. They tell you the US dollar is 1:1 & then will give you back Canadian change. I would recommend St. Viateur for better bagels & sandwich options!

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.

This establishment Being Canadian debit or CASH ONLY was a little annoying but the coffee shop a few doors down did have an ATM so it wasn't that big of a deal. The bagels were good, they're a little more dense than the typical New York bagel. The cream cheese was put on top which was also different. But it tasted great, we even got some to go. I'd go back for sure.

Excellent Bagels & absolute place to stop & purchase. Has different types of cream cheese for purchase too. The everything bagel was delicious. Cash only Canadian & American change in Canadian!

Solid bagel, workers looked absolutely exhausted here. Did not like that they had a $10 spending limit for credit. Since we didn't bring any Canadian dollars not expecting them to have cash only businesses,we paid the tourist fee using USD.
