Outstanding bagels - I was surprised with the strong flavour of the cream cheese! The blueberry muffin was always scrumptious. Cute space, lots of space to sit, quick & kind service in both english & french - perfect place for a brunch or coffee chat.

Ever since I have arrived in Montreal since January 1st, I've been going every week, even multiple times per week to President Kennedy's Hinnani Bros Bagels.
The food is delicious, whether the delicous cookies, blueberry muffins or the savory banana breads, the food is always of the highest quality, the bagels, cream cheese or smoked salmon or breakfast bagels are my go to & everytime whether dine in or takeout the experience is fantastic, & the bagels delicious, you can see it is freshly baked & that the produce is local & constantly delicious.
The Hinnani Team at Kennedy is also one of the reasons that I keep coming to this place: every single one of the staff especially the cook are serviable, kind & always looking to make the customer experience better which makes every single time eating lunch, dinner or getting a snack a fantastic experience, & I always look forward to come back to take a Bagel, as I know that firstly the food will be excellent, & most importantly it is one of the rare food shops in which I really look forward to going to because of the team!
All around an excellent restaurant & you should absolutely go there first thing if you want to enjoy a delicious bagel served by an amazing team!
Tables were dirty, I asked twice to clean up no one didn't. I did highlight that m vegetarian & the worker didn't pay attention so I got served a shanghai bagel with a big fat beefy meat patty in it. Absolutely disgusting.

Misleading ambiguous advertisement, no tax refunded when getting a refund (because the muffin was finally out of stock). Cold expresso. It's just a mediocre experience.
Service is great! We're visiting Montreal from Toronto. It's December 27, 2025, & it's not very crowded. The coffee is excellent, & the bagels are fresh & delicious. Highly recommended! We forgot to take a picture of the bagels because they were too tasty to wait for a photo.
Incredible bagels & coffee/tea. Service isn't too long & prices are reasonable for what you get. Has a nice ambiance inside & a great place to pickup or stay & eat inside
Can't make it to one of the famous Montreal bagel shops? Hinnawi Bros will fit the craving for you. The bagel is decent (not excellent), & the Americano is excellent. Excellent price point, fast service & cute cafe you can hang out in while you figure out how to spend your day in Montreal.
