La Fabrique de Bagel Montréal appears as a solid go to for Montreal style bagels, with bagels described as among the best and sometimes better than NY style, and a varied menu including smoked salmon bagel, pesto chicken bagel, sesame seed bagel with olive or chive cream cheese, turkey and brie, and a selection of coffee, tea and juice. The cafe vibe is repeatedly praised as cute, peaceful and conducive to reading or working, with a friendly atmosphere and bright decor. Service is sometimes slow or uneven, and there are occasional miscommunications or unfriendly moments at the counter, along with critiques of salad or other fillings not meeting expectations. Desserts like baklava receive mixed to negative feedback, while the focus remains on fresh bagels and fillings, which some consider very satisfying. Overall, the spot is described as reliable for bagel lovers and a pleasant place to stop in, though a few visits note room for improvement in speed and consistency.
We're on a quick trip to Montreal & I needed a bagel. We were disappointed that we didn't find this place sooner! The sandwich was super yummy & my dirty chai was so good. We'll be back tomorrow for sure!
We were in Montreal for Valentine's weekend & ended up here because the cafe we wanted to go to was too busy. We enjoyed La Fabrique so much we went back again the next day. Great bagels (better than NY style & I'm from NY ;), nice assortment of menu options, & awesome staff!!

Mid food, sloooooooooow & disengaged service (please hire staff that can watch coffee being made & acknowledge customers waiting 5 minutes to buy something when there is no line up)
We were in the area & decided to stop in to buy some bagels & cream cheese. The bagels are pretty good but the guy at the cash register was unfriendly. I said'hi' first, he was staring at me, no friendly smile or'hello' or a wave. Nothing. It's so strange that people choose to work in places where they are supposed to be greeting customers & then decide it's appropriate to act like this. It's weird & uncalled for. He seemed oddly unsure of himself when I asked how much a tub of cream cheese is, & was just acting off, like he has zero customer service skills. Did not smile, didn't respond well when I said'happy holidays' & was off-putting. He seemed a bit annoyed. If you are trying to be unfriendly towards paying customers, stay home, not the place to be working. Weird experience.
First time coming here today & had the sesame seed bagel with a cappuccino. It was the best bagel I have ever had (cappuccino was also very good). Price was also quite reasonable. I will be back. 😊
Everything here is so good y'all. The bagels? To die for? (Pesto cream cheese on TOPPPP) The coffee? So so good!! The owner is the sweetest as well. Love this place🫶🏼

J'ai été très déçu de mon expérience. La salade dans mon bagel était brune par endroit en plus d'avoir été réchauffé au four. La qualité des bagels est ordinaire & ressemblait plus à ceux dans des endroits qui ne se spécialise pas en la matière. Je ne recommanderais pas cet endroit pour quelqu'un qui veut découvrir les bagels montréalais. J'ai acheté 6 bagels à 9,95$ & le sandwich à la dinde & ça m'a coûté 25$ au total. Dans la sélection de bagel à 9,95$ il ne restait que sésame à l'heure du dîner. Première & dernière visite pour moi.
Really good bagels regardless but they got my order wrong & I was too far gone when I realized. Payed for Smoked Salmon cream cheese. They only gave me regular

De très bons bagels, malgré tout, mais ils se sont trompés dans ma commande & j'étais déjà trop épuisé quand je m'en suis rendu compte. J'ai payé pour du fromage frais au saumon fumé. Ils ne m'ont servi que des classiques.
