La Fabrique de Bagel Montréal offre des bagels qui incarnent l'expérience montréalaise, avec des pains cuits au feu de bois et une grande variété de fromages à la crème; certains clients apprécient la fraîcheur des bagels faits sur place et l'emplacement attractif, que ce soit dans un centre commercial ou dans un lieu historique, et considèrent l'endroit comme une halte agréable pour le petit déjeuner ou le déjeuner léger. Cependant les avis sont partagés sur le rapport qualité prix et le service: des prix élevés et des portions parfois modestes coexistent avec des saveurs savoureuses et des garnitures généreuses; certains trouvent que certains bagels ne sont pas toujours frais lorsqu'ils sont pré-preparés et que le service peut être lent ou peu chaleureux selon le moment, et l'organisation peut varier. Dans l'ensemble, l'offre reste attractive pour son authenticité et sa diversité, et l'endroit attire des visiteurs cherchant une expérience bagel typiquement montréalaise, avec un cadre convivial et une ambiance animée.
Stopped by on a road trip to Montreal, after scouting around for breakfast/brunch spots open before 9am. They were quite busy this morning with a group of hotel guests in & out of a sports event, but the service was good & were accommodating with our many questions.
We got the three meat with cheese, prosciutto & brie, & salmon & cream cheese bagels. Honestly, I love Montreal bagels more than New York style & these bagels hit the spot!
The juices are also so good! Recommend the strawberry & banana or raspberry juice for a non-smoothie, non-caffeinated pick me up.
There's not much seating outside the storefront or inside the building.

As a New Yorker, I came in with high bagel expectations-& while the famed Montreal bagel didn't quite hit the same high notes, I can still appreciate its charm. These are not your oversized, doughy deli bagels; they're smaller, denser, slightly sweet, & wood-fired for a subtle crisp. It felt more like a junior version of what I'm used to, but that's more about style than quality.
What really stood out was the service-warm, attentive, & efficient. My bagel was served hot, fresh from the oven, & paired with a generous tea selection that made for a cozy, unhurried breakfast.
All in all, while the bagel itself may not have sparked a flavor revolution for this New Yorker, the experience was authentically Montreal: warm, welcoming, & full of character. Worth a visit for the cultural experience alone.
The bagel was very dry & lacked flavor. I was quite disappointed & didn't even finish it. It was also disappointing to find out that the bagels aren't made fresh-they're all pre-prepared, which really affects the quality.
I'm not even a bagel person, but I came here because of its reputation. Walked 20 minutes in the cold wearing just a T-shirt (with some stops along the way, of course).
We had one Americano, one juice, & two bagels-each sliced in half to share.
The chicken & cheese bagel was rich & flavorful thanks to the salty cheese. The chicken had a slight sweetness to it. Once the bagel was heated, the sesame aroma really came through. One bite, & you'd feel it was worth traveling thousands of miles.
The other half was smoked salmon & avocado. Since the salmon was lightly seasoned, it couldn't be heated, so the bagel itself was a bit hard-but with each chewy bite, the salmon & avocado danced through, like fish swimming freely. The sesame seeds added an extra layer of texture-cold but stunningly flavorful.
The mixed juice (raspberry & mango) wasn't too sweet-very drinkable. At $7, it's even cheaper than the $7.20'Three Brothers' drink at CoCo nearby. Who's still buying CoCo?
The Americano? Honestly, I had low expectations. I mean, what would you expect from a bagel shop? But it was surprisingly good-rich in oils, medium-light roast, with clear tea notes & a touch of fruity acidity. Truly excellent.
Also, while lingering at the entrance watching people chat outside the shop, I jumped in to ask which flavor was the best. A white gentleman complimented me:
'Where did you get your Hermès scarf?'
-'In Douyin,' I replied.
They are in RESO/Underground. This was our second time. We had toasted sesame bagels with regular cream cheese, juice & coffee. Very decent food & kind service.

If you find yourself in downtown & craving a delicious & authentic bagel, I totally understand how important that is. This is the perfect spot for you!
Very tasty & dynamic bagels with local styles at a convenient location, but admittedly food is quite expensive, three bagels cost almost 40CAD, many of the materials are very cheap like the cheese & bagel etc, they are sufficiently supplied in nearby Intercontinental's 20CAD / room breakfast.
This amount of salmon & prosciutto are not worth 40CAD, but I'm happy to support local business that hires local people☺?
The shop is located in a beautiful building, which gives it an atmospheric vibe. They offer a wide variety of bagels, from ready-made bagel sandwiches to individual bagels with dips. I tried 3: the sesame bagel, everything bagel, & oat bagel, & they were all really good! However, as someone who is not a hardcore bagel fan, I did not find them particularly outstanding. I probably would not make a special trip just for them, but if I'm in the area again, I would definitely stop by to try one of their sandwiches.
