Reviews of La Fabrique de Bagel Montréal show a mix of high praise and some criticisms. Many describe the bagels as fresh with a wide range of cream cheeses and toppings, with jalapeno cream cheese and a pesto with salmon noted as especially tasty, and the coffee is frequently mentioned as good. Morning service is commonly described as friendly, attentive, and efficient, with a clean space and a warm, family friendly feel that suits a quick breakfast before classes or work, and the place sits in an indoor mall that some find convenient. On the other hand, some guests report inconsistent quality such as bagels that feel stale or not toasted, overreliance on pre made options, and prices that can seem high, along with occasional crowding or lines and uneven service. Still, the overall impression is that La Fabrique de Bagel Montréal remains a solid choice for bagel lovers seeking made to order options and a broad variety, especially when visiting early or looking for a quick, flavorful bite.
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!
