La Fabrique de Bagel Montréal offers a quick snapshot of its appeal, with bagels that are often fresh, chewy, and generously filled, a friendly and fast service, and a bright, cozy atmosphere that many reviews describe as welcoming; praise centers on the quality and variety of bagels and toppings like smoked salmon, avocado, pesto, and cream cheese, while some comments flag higher prices for the portions and occasional inconsistency in texture or cooking, and a few notes mention limited veggie options or mixed experiences with seating and ambiance.

La Fabrique de Bagel is amazing! Their bagels are always fresh, chewy, & full of flavour. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, & the atmosphere feels warm & inviting. Definitely one of the best spots for delicious bagels - highly recommend!
La Fabrique de Bagel de Montréal at Balfour is everything you want in a neighborhood bagel shop. The bagels are fresh, warm, & perfectly chewy with that signature Montréal-style flavor. I had a sesame bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, red onion, & capers, & it was absolutely perfect - fresh ingredients & generous portions. The staff were super welcoming & helpful, & you can tell they take pride in what they do. There's something really comforting about walking into a place that smells like fresh-baked bagels & coffee - it just feels right.
Bagels are so fresh & delicious! We had the chicken pesto & the prosciutto sandwiches with garden salad - wow! Super tasty. & amazing, friendly service! Thank you Adil for making this experience excellent!
I recently visited this cafe, & while my experience had its ups & downs, there are some highlights worth mentioning. The coffee is decent but nothing extraordinary. One thing that stood out was the inconsistency with the lattes-mine was overly foamy, more like a cappuccino than a true latte. Given the prices, I was expecting a bit more precision. On the bright side, the bagel sandwiches are fantastic! The BLT was a solid choice, but the real star for me was the salmon cream cheese bagel. It was fresh, flavorful, & definitely worth trying. Overall, while the coffee could use some improvement, the bagel sandwiches alone make it worth a visit. Just be prepared to pay a little more than you'd expect.

Staff was nice but salmon on bagels was not the best quality & baked goods were not the freshest. Overall ok but prob wouldn't come again... if they had fresher food then I definitely would because the atmosphere is nice & all the staff were nice.
Being from New York I never have high expectations for bagels or egg sandwiches. Decided to try this place out because it was right down the block from where we were staying. When I saw the premade egg sandwiches I was a bit nervous as again, in New York everything is made fresh to order. I ordered a bacon egg & cheese combo with a pineapple mango smoothie. I was actually blown away by how good this egg sandwich was. The mix between the cheese & the sauce that was on the bagel was delicious. I do wish there was more bacon on it as I am a bacon lover, but regardless it was very good. The smoothie was delicious & fresh too. I can definitely say that if this place was in New York it would put some serious competition on some of the other bagel stores & I will be back to have another soon!
We had an amazing experience at this bagel store in Quebec, Montreal. The food was delicious, & the service was top-notch. What stood out for us was that everything is baked freshly on-site daily, giving a delightful freshness to each bite. Highly recommended for a satisfying & authentic bagel experience!
This place is incredible, but I never have the time to sit down & enjoy the food there, today was the day!!!! I had the lobster & avocado bagel, everything was incredible, the food was so fresh, the staff friendly & patient. 100% recommended!
The fruit smoothies are delicious & fresh. The homemade bagel sandwiches are quite unique & tasty - something for everyone! The servers are courteous & helpful. Beautiful smiles!
