Reviews describe La Fabrique de Bagel Montréal as a warm, cozy spot with fresh, chewy bagels and a wide range of cream cheeses and toppings that make for satisfying breakfasts and casual lunches. The service is repeatedly praised for friendliness and helpfulness, with staff noted for accommodating language needs and making guests feel welcome. Bagels are frequently called fresh and flavorful, with particular favorites including sesame with salmon, pesto cream cheese, and pumpernickel with figs, though several comments mention inconsistencies in quality and value, including bagels that were dry or overdone and prices that feel high for the portion size. The atmosphere, decor, and coffee are regularly highlighted as bonuses, and many reviewers say they would return, citing quick service, good vibes, and the sense that the place treats guests like regulars even when visiting as tourists. Overall, it comes across as a reliable Montréal bagel destination with strong staff, solid flavors, and a few caveats about price and occasional unevenness.
Something is out of whack here. A half dozen bagels & a spread used to cost ~$15. Now $27. Outrageous increase
Edit review: in 2026 the last two times ive gone the bagels were hard & went completely rock stale within 24 hours. The cream cheeses are admittedly delicious, but its not worth rolling the dice with the bagels.
Pretty disappointing… I got the'halloumi' & roasted veggie bagel & while there were an ok amount of veggies on the bagel there was almost no halloumi… two very meagre slices & very very thin to boot. Since there are only a few veggie options I'd have expected a similar amount of Halloumi to the meat on those sandwiches or the falafel… oh well.
The bagel itself was very good & my friend liked the falafel sandwich - the falafel was substantial at least.
The server was very friendly so I appreciated that!
Can't say much for the one table of patrons in there… we arrived at lunch (1pm) it was empty in there except for the one table… & got stared at pretty heavily by that older group of men so we didn't feel very welcome. That's obviously not the fault of the business but thought I'd mention it.

La nourriture était très bon & la service était rapide. Le Monsieur qui m'avait aider était très pleasant & il respectait mon effort à parler en français. Comme touriste, le dernièr est toujours aprécié.
Food was good but the prices are definitely a little higher than one would expect for the quantity. One guy working the counter during a typical peak time is a questionable choice by the person scheduling. (Maybe someone called out sick.)
