The lack of AC in there is inhumane… employees working in a hot room in the summer. I felt unwell just waiting for my bagel. Which btw was $6.33 for a nature bagel with cream cheese. Disappointing :((((((( & it tastes just like Tim Hortons should've went there.

This was listed as one of the fourteen bagel places to try in Montreal & given the proximity to the canal path, this was a perfect spot to end my run.

There were few people in line at 11:30am on a Sunday. Perhaps they were all at either St-Viateur or Fairmount or at one of the many summertime events happening, but I won't complain. The service was very prompt & the staff were polite.

I ordered the saumon fumé on a sesame bagel & ate it there. This hit the spot. The bagel was nice & dense, the hole was large (like the traditional Montreal style bagel), & it wasn't too heavy on the cream cheese. Definitely worth the trip to Griffintown to get one of these!

Any Montreal bagel place that charges 2$ to butter your bagel qualifies as a tourist trap. Yes, butter, the kind you get for free in restaurants, not cream cheese. Unbearably hot inside. Bagel was ok. Thanks, will not come back.

Bagels are mid at best. Also only plain cream cheese available which is a choice I guess.

The egg & cheese delux & the vegetarian sandwiches were delicious!

Good neighborhood bagels with that fresh, Montreal-style vibe - especially if you're grabbing them to go. The bagels I took home were really good later on, so we got to enjoy them for a bit longer.

That said, the menu is pretty limited, & I felt like the sandwiches were overpriced for what you get (tried the smoked salmon, breakfast deluxe & classic sesame & cream cheese). There wasn't enough toppings to justify the price, & by midday some key ingredients (like tomatoes) were already gone. Service can be a bit slow during busy times too, so be prepared for a wait if there's a line.

Overall solid bagels & a nice local spot (parking is a big plus!), but there's room for improvement in value & consistency of toppings/service.

This was honestly awful. Charging $13 for an untoasted bagel with a smear of cream cheese & a single tiny slice of smoked salmon is ridiculous. The cream cheese tasted off, which only made it worse. Making a decent bagel is not complicated, yet this completely missed the mark. I wanted to like this place since it's right by my home, but I'd much rather drive & get a significantly better bagel at Solomos for the same price. Not worth it.

The bagels were absolutely delicious - soft on the inside, perfectly toasted on the outside, & topped with just the right amount of cheese. Every bite was rich, fresh, & flavorful. Highly recommend if you're looking for a satisfying & tasty snack!
& the coffee was excellent - rich aroma, smooth texture, & perfectly balanced flavor. It was freshly brewed & full of depth, giving a great energy boost. Definitely a must-try for coffee lovers!

Excellent customer service by Al- Haji &
The staff at the bagel & coffee shop were friendly, attentive, & made sure everything was perfect. They greeted with a smile, served quickly, & made the experience warm & welcoming. Great service that makes you want to come back!

Ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese. Bagel was dry & cold with barely any cream cheese. Simply not a good bagel.
