La Fabrique de Bagel Montréal offers an authentic Montreal bagel experience in a busy downtown setting, drawing visitors for breakfast or a light lunch and a chance to see bagels baked on site. Reviews note a wide range of cream cheese options and flavors, with some bagels described as fresh and flavorful and others as dry or premade and lacking in wow factor, while a few high price concerns appear across comments. Service quality varies from warm and efficient to slow or impersonal, and ordering flow can be confusing or the seating scarce in certain moments, though some visits benefit from friendly bilingual staff. The location inside a mall or the World Trade Center promenade provides comfortable seating for many, but others find the space limited or hard to locate, with some praising the overall ambiance and others focusing on the practicality of the setting. Overall, the reviews present a mixed but recognizable Montreal bagel scene where the value of the bagels and the experience depends on expectations for freshness, price, and service, and the place remains a notable stop for tourists and locals seeking an iconic bagel moment.
Very nice place to chill & have breakfast or lunch. Had the prosciutto bagel with pear & Brie & it was amazing. Had a very high quality & filling taste. I am satisfied.
I absolutely loved this café/bagel shop-so much so that I'd genuinely go out of my way to come back, even all the way from Vancouver. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, welcoming, & effortlessly cozy. You can tell there's a lot of care put into every detail.
The bagels were fresh, perfectly textured, & easily some of the best I've had-crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, & paired with such delicious, high-quality ingredients. Everything tasted homemade & thoughtfully prepared. The coffee was just as impressive-rich, smooth, & the perfect complement to the food.
What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff were genuinely kind, friendly, & made the whole experience feel special rather than rushed.
This place isn't just a quick stop-it's somewhere you want to sit, enjoy, & come back to. If I'm ever in the area again, it'll be one of my first stops without hesitation. Highly recommend!
Amazing bagels , they are freshly cooked & are available in a big variety. You can smell the bagels from far away. Same things for the cream cheese ! They have so many choices !! Their sandwiches selection is also amazing, highly recommend their classique smoked salmon ! Worth the trip ! The staffs is friendly & really efficient event with the amounts of people. Will definitely come back ! I suggest it for tourist. The location is beautiful ! Alongside the berlin wall & the exquisite fountain they have !
J'ai adoré mon passage à la Fabrique de Bagel ! Les bagels sont frais, faits sur place, moelleux à l'intérieur & légèrement croustillants à l'extérieur un pur bonheur 😍 On sent vraiment la qualité des ingrédients & le savoir-faire. L'ambiance est simple, locale & authentique exactement ce qu'on recherche quand on veut vivre la vraie expérience montréalaise.
Si vous êtes de passage à Montréal, c'est un arrêt OBLIGATOIRE ! Impossible de visiter la ville sans goûter un vrai bagel montréalais ❤?
Highly recommend, whether you're a local or visiting from abroad!
Great fire burning oven baked bagels that taste ok but within gorgeous location inside the World Trade Center. The lobster sandwich is bland, items are overpriced, service is slow most of the time & waiters are weird. One morning there were only 2 customers & they refused to take our order at the end of the counter, & made us walk to the other side of the counter to take it there instead. In the end the same person went there to attend to us. Not very logical & rude. Limited seating & had the potential to be great, but not well managed.
A total tourist trap for anyone craving bagels 🥯 Mine was awful - not delicious at all & even had a weird, plastic-like texture. It felt like it had been sitting on the shelf for far too long

A terrific spot to grab breakfast or a light lunch. Staff are friendly (bilingual) & food was good - best cream cheese on our visit to Montreal. Sit down is in the common area of the building, but spaces are pretty well kept. Became our'go to' spot on the trip.
Riquísimos bagels! Confunden un poco los precios en especial porque no se aclaran los impuestos que se deben agregar (aunque esto es algo de Canadá en general). Excelente atención de Sara.
Great location in the historic World Trade Center covered promenade. Seating available in the promenade. Bagels are made on site - so many are warm out of the ovens. Recommend a classic bagel (Sesame or Everything) with one of the interesting flavors of spreads.
