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.
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
EN. I love to eat here when I have classes, the service is super fast & so kind. The bagels are to die for & the coffee it's really good.
The place is very clean & it looks really pretty. For any student it's the best place to have lunch.
I go there every week the staff are super nice very polite & there is always someone at the reception to take your order they are very fast work as a team always great music that is always different from hip hop to jazz to pop bagel are good they are so friendly that they know my order by now. It is hit in there I would say but overall good spot to enjoy a bagel & coffee & super fast if you get to go. Always a great service great team
The bagel was delicious, the shop was cute, & the staff were friendly! Great prices as well. My only concern is that the coffee was extremely hot. While I should have checked the temperature first, it still left my mouth & tongue raw, peeling & sore for hours afterward, which could have been more dangerous if it had spilled on someone. Otherwise, it was a good experience!

I had the pleasure of trying the George Bagel at Hinnawi Bros Bagel & Café in Montreal, & it was absolutely delightful. The multigrain bagel was perfectly toasted, adding a hearty texture to the generous filling of fresh grilled vegetables. Every bite was packed with flavor & felt both satisfying & wholesome. To top it off, the mochaccino was a perfect companion-rich, smooth, & just the right balance of coffee & chocolate. A highly enjoyable experience, & I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great vegetarian option paired with an excellent coffee.
Excellent place to get your day started with coffee, great selection of bagel sandwiches & pastries. Their service was outstanding. Very friendly staff. Would definitely be coming back next time I'm in Montreal. Cannot recommend this place enough!!
Small shop with plenty of seating when we went. We ordered a sesame bagel toasted, an iced latte, & a chocolate chip cookie. The bagel is a Montreal style bagel & is slightly more chewy. The sesame flavor is very good. The iced latte had a strong coffee flavor. The cookie was crunchy around the edge & soft in the middle but was missing something in its taste profile to make it addicting. Overall quick service & good coffee.
I stopped by this nice little bagel shop en route to the airport this morning. The atmosphere was bright & clean, & the young guy who took my order was very polite & friendly. I heard him first speaking French to someone, & maybe Spanish too, so I was a bit nervous that I'd have trouble communicating, since I'm an English speaking visitor to Montreal! But to my relief, this young guy was fluent also in English! My bagel was fresh & tasty, & he made me a delicious coffee. I'd recommend this place, based on the convenient location near McGill, the friendly atmosphere, & good food. Also, the music selection was quite enjoyable. I'll return to this place, when I'm in Montreal again. Thanks
Hinnawi Bros is an average place with good coffee but not friendly cashier & customer service. The cafe's tables are usually not clean & my order was wrong 😑. Get your coffee to go. Two stars.😔 I went back & received my complimentary coffee & bagel. The coffee was iced cold when I requested it be hot & it took the cook 3 times to get a "cream cheese & cinnamon bagel" correct, it was finally given to me with a frustrated attitude by him. Nonetheless, going back to Florida & will probably visit another cafe if I return to Canada☹️
