Great little story in the middle of a very busy mall. It gets quite crowded but great selection of bagels. I had the smoked salmon which was delicious!
First time here! & wow - it's been a long time since I've had bagels this good.
I tried customized salmon with cream cheese
& Brie turkey chipotle & both were absolutely delicious. Fresh, generous, & perfectly balanced flavors.
On top of that, the staff were super friendly & very welcoming, which really made the experience even better.
Highly recommended - I'll definitely be back!

I got the salmon with caper bagel. Honestly, it was just mediocre. Bagel was dry & stale. Not sure what the hype was about. Pretty sure you can find better ones elsewhere.
Bagel was delicious but be careful of the pricing... Bagel with cream cheese & smoked salmon is advertised as $4.95 but I asked if they could add capers & ended up being charged over $16 before tip. EDIT: Changed to 4 stars based on owner's explanation below as I clearly misunderstood the menu (but still just a little too pricy for me).

Super efficient to the point where I enjoyed watching the business of the employees. They were accurate & just friendly & helpful enough. Classic salmon bagel was phenomenal, latte was a tad watery.
Food - bagel with salmon & cream cheese - was good but very different from the states. It was chewy & moist. The bagel itself is thinner (which I like since in the US is very thick & fluffy). The salmon CC tasted like salmon. It was inside a mall/centre which doesn't give me the warm inviting environment for my early morning coffee. It's a good quick spot. One coffee & 1 bagel 11.00.
Had the classic salmon bagel: the salmon could've been more smokey but the ratio with cream cheese, capers & onions was ideal. The onions are ?blanched or slightly pickled: they offered the perfect crunch without punching you with onion! The banana bread was delicious: moist, not too sweet, good banana flavour. Fast & friendly service.
The ladies behind the counter were super helpful & kind, & the bagels were 10/10! I had a classic smoked salmon sandwich & I think I'll be dreaming about it for a while. Thank you!!
Plenty of choices on the cream cheese! Ordered salmon with brie bagel, added on garlic cream cheese. It tasted so good! The ingredients are good enough for me, the cream cheese is optional. I enjoyed the savoury one so much, thus decided to go back for a sweet one before leaving Montreal. & it was the right call! I got the cinnamon bagel with blueberry cream cheese, it was crispy on the surface & soft on the inside, & the blueberry cream cheese was another level. I took every bite with smile :)
I got a create your own bagel delivered. The bagel itself was delicious, veggies (arugula & onions) were fresh, the salmon wasn’t smoked enough for my taste. Bagel was made well.
