Nothing beats a Fairmount bagel (or two!) in the park!
Service was quick in the early morning, we took half a dozen poppy-seed bagels to go & had fun with our cream cheese spread 🥯🌿

Just lovely. The bagels are iconically Montreal. I had Le Jack, which was delicious. Just the right amount of cream cheese! While the place is busy, you don't have to wait long. You won't forget it!

A staff member at the bagel-only shop across the street told me I could bring the bagels to the café & they would make them into sandwiches, so I bought four bagels.

However, when I went to the café, they said they couldn't do that & that I would need to order again if I wanted a sandwich.

If the staff member wasn't sure, they should have said so instead of giving incorrect information.

The café did offer to cut the bagels in half, but without toasting or cream cheese, it was very difficult to eat.

If you want a sandwich, just order directly at the café. Overall, my first experience was disappointing.

Bagels were FAB. Great experience for other tourists looking to engage in the Montreal culture. Didn't know that you had to apply the cream cheese to one's own bagel, however, it ended up being OK. We got a bonut (with the cream cheese on top in the pic). you can only use cash or debit cards if you're from the US.

I spent $69 on bagels & one container of cream cheese. I asked the girl if my cream cheese was in the bagel. She smiled & said yes. At home I see no cream cheese in the bagel. Great bagels. Pretty smile. No cream cheese in the bag. Wait! An update. I found the cream cheese - under the front seat of my car.

The best bagel I've eaten in my life!

Controversy: Better than a NYC bagel…! (Coming from a lifelong New Yorker.) Any NYers who want to debate this post, let's go.

Best way to eat this bagel: Dip it into cream cheese - it's so crunchy, don't even bother slicing open. (This is the OG way of eating bagels >> pre 1900's)

We got the bozo (sesame/poppy larger style bagel). The bagel is sweeter than expected as I read they dip the bagels in honey water before baking in their 100yr old oven. We also got a regular size (mini-ish) chocolate chip bagel. They had lots of varieties, the bagels were fresh, chewy. They offer many tubs of cream cheese & lox but you add this yourself. Worth a try if you are in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way for them.

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.

It's a legend & for good reason. I didn't know a bagel could be so satisfying. Chewy with the right amount of salt. Bizarre way of spreading cream cheese all over the top. Dude rolling out the dough in front of you. Wood burning ovens. Bagels on long boards. Love it. Want it right now.
