Overall, La Fabrique de Bagel Montréal is praised for fresh, perfectly textured bagels, a rich selection of cream cheeses, and tasty accompaniments, with coffee described as complementary and enjoyable. The atmosphere is consistently described as warm and welcoming, and the staff as friendly and attentive, contributing to a feel that invites lingering rather than a quick in-and-out visit. While most experiences are positive, some reviewers mention occasional issues such as difficulty finding the entrance, moments of inconsistency in quality or presentation, and a few bagels that feel stale. For many, it remains a go-to spot in Montreal with standout bagels and reliable service, though there can be fluctuations.
It is one of my favorite places to eat bagels with my friends before going to class in the morning. They have a large selection of different types of cream cheeses & bagels. My favorite is their jalapeno cream cheese, & the pesto (with salmon), it's amazing. I'm also not a big coffee guy, but their mocha was really good. The staff is very friendly, & there are plenty of places nearby to sit & eat as well.
A very good spot for bagels. The pre-made sandwiches are quite ordinary & not very impressive, but the custom-made bagels are really good. Simple bagels with cheese, cheese-honey-walnuts, or salmon are full of flavor. The coffee is excellent, & I especially like the wide variety of cheeses they offer. Overall, a good place, especially if you order a made-to-order bagel.

Apparently, I was supposed to have Montreal bagels when I visit Montreal lol . So I did. & I'm glad I did hehe
I ordered the classic Smoked salmon bagel sandwich. This was great. Simple. A little salty, a little creamy. It was a great start to my day. I think this was better than the smoked meat sandwich somewhere in the city ahem. Hubby had everything bagel with jalapeno cream cheese. He said it was fantastic. It was spicy as it should be. Yum yum
This has been my go-to bagel shop for lunch until now (Dec 2024), but they probably just lost a customer for a few reasons: I specifically asked for a "toasted sesame bagel with jalapeno cream cheese plus smoked salmon". Even though they confirmed my order with me twice (when I ordered & when I got to the cash), I did not receive what I ordered. My bagel was NOT toasted & I was charged extra cheese even though I got less cheese in my sandwich than I normally received in the past. If they advertised extra cost for the flavored cream cheeses, I'd be ok with the change... but they don't. This may be a one-off because I have normally enjoyed the food & service in the past, but if not.... Good bye!
Visiting Montreal from the States. Had a delicious Everything bagel with Bluet (blueberry) cream cheese. Also ate a ham & egg bagel sandwich. So delicious! Their raspberry juice was very fresh. I will definitely return before my vacation ends! ❤️

Got the lobster bagel & while it was exceptional, the poster advertising it showed that it was with avocado, but the girl who helped me didnt add any (she might have been new). Otherwise, this place has some original sweet snacks & a very wide array of cream cheese spreads. Would go again!
Another good bagel shop. But they have a special product-their cream cheese!!! They provide lots flavor, so you can absolutely find your favorite. I ordered sesame bagel with bacon cream cheese, which was really great! Their sesame bagel was very smelly. Their cream cheese was their signature! I tried for some flavor & bacon one was the best! Not too salty, not too milky, cream cheese & the saly from bacon did a great balance. With the baked bagel, perfect!
