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.
I have passed by this Fabrique de Bagel inside le "Centre du Commerce Mondial", numerous times, an area that was created simply to be discovered. It is unique in its own way & if you are looking for taking breathtaking pictures inside a building, then look no further. Let's get back to bagels. There are bagels & then bagels. It was early morning on Saturday & the mere thought of sweet smell of freshly made bagel woke me up from my deep sleep. I went straight to the Fabrique de Bagel & the aroma of warm bread filling the air wrapped around me so softly, insisting that this must become a morning ritual. So many cream cheese variations - simply an "embarras du choix" that it took me over a minute to decide. I finally opted for the smoked salmon cream cheese on a sesame bagel. Service was very pleasant, fast & friendly. The bagel went through a revolving oven & eventually gets loaded with cream cheese. I think it was more like I ate cream cheese with bagel. The cream cheese was smooth, rich with the right hint of smoked salmon which melted perfectly in my warm bagel. There are a few tables & chairs that are close by that I can sit & have a bite to satisfy my craving. You will not look at bagels the same way, ever again. What I like about this place is the buzz, the cleanliness & the sophisticated atmosphere.

First time trying out Montréal Bagel - It was delicious! Crispy outside, soft & chewy inside. Distinct from NYC Bagel for sure. Highly recommend this shop & check out beautiful architecture as well.
I recently visited La Fabrique de Bagel in Montreal & enjoyed a delightful breakfast. I ordered an everything bagel with herb cream cheese & salmon, which was a perfect combination of flavors. The bagel was fresh & had a nice chew, while the herb cream cheese added a lovely, subtle kick that complemented the smoked salmon perfectly. It was simple yet satisfying. I paired it with a cappuccino, which was smooth & well-balanced, with just the right amount of foam. The cozy atmosphere & friendly service made the experience even better. If you're looking for a tasty & no-fuss breakfast spot in Montreal, La Fabrique de Bagel is worth a visit.
Great place & pretty clean but the food is not that great; bagels are mid & small overall is an overrated place. The bagels are already done they just put it in an oven. The crossaints had flys around them

My boyfriend went to grab us some bagels for lunch. The girl who took his order got it wrong - & my boyfriend was charged & paid for an extra bagel when he was not supposed to. He told them that he was wrongfully charged an extra bagel, showing the receipt (we ordered 3 bagels - he got charged for 4). 2/3 of the staff (including the girl who took his order), they tried to tell him he was wrong despite him showing his itemized receipt that DISPLAYED THE MISTAKE & treated him as if he did not know what he was talking about. Same two girls didn't apologize, gave him a refund in cash, & then the one that took his order gave him glaring dirty looks. As someone who works in restaurant service, who let these girls work here? If you did something WRONG, apologize to the customer & correct your mistake. Don't just stand there & proceed to have an attitude when the customer did nothing wrong, even if you're not in the best mood. Thank you to the ONE staff who was kind enough to stick up for him & gave him helpful service.
