About

Kettlemans Bagel specializes in the traditional Montreal style bagel, characterized by a hand-rolled dough boiled in honey-infused water before undergoing a crisp bake in a signature wood-burning oven. Each bagel exhibits a distinct chewy texture paired with a subtly sweet profile and a blistered, golden crust. The menu features an extensive array of cream cheese spreads, ranging from classic plain to garden vegetable and smoked salmon variations. Guests encounter an open-kitchen layout where the intensive labor of bagel production remains visible throughout the service. Stacks of freshly prepared sandwiches utilize these bagels as the structural foundation, often incorporating high-quality deli meats and crisp produce. This establishment prioritizes speed and consistency, delivering authentic, artisanal products that define a specific category of Canadian culinary heritage through precise techniques and wood-fired heat.

Came here for breakfast with my daughter & loved it. The atmosphere is great, the service is super friendly, & everything is very reasonably priced.
?The bagels are incredibly fresh & flavorful, & they serve excellent Lavazza coffee on-site. A wonderful morning experience, we will definitely be back!

We ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches, 1 smoked bagel, & 1 double chocolate bagel. The sandwiches were awesome, perfect, but the chocolate bagel was terrible, like a piece of wood. Also, the coffee was not hot. The staff was also patient & helpful.

Friendly staff, they were happy to assist & quick service, offering freezer bags if you're buying bagels to take home. The bagels were fresh, & with the high turnover, they were pulling bagels right off the production line & serving them when they were still warm. Would recommend to anyone coming to the area for a quick breakfast or take home bagels!

The bagel was extremely disappointing… dry, unseasoned, & nothing like the'spicy' option it was advertised as. I spent $40 on two bagels expecting something fresh & worth the price, but honestly, I could have made something better at home. It tasted like an overtoasted bagel with a dry piece of chicken & some lettuce, with no sauce or real flavor. Unfortunately, it was a very underwhelming experience, & I won't be returning.

If you go there today, June 7, you're gonna wait a long time until you get to the cashier & only then they'll let you know that they're only accepting cash today. For me it was over 15 minutes wasted, & the line wasn't even that long.
