Le Trou is widely praised for fresh, wood fired style Montreal bagels with a chewy interior and a crispy exterior, the everything bagel and smoked salmon options getting particular love, and the sandwiches and coffee earning solid marks in a warm, welcoming atmosphere that many call a neighborhood highlight. Reviewers note the on site baking and frequent menu updates as strengths and appreciate the casual, friendly service, though some caution that the menu can feel limited, toppings can be sparse, prices can be high for what you get, and service can slow down during busy times. Indoor seating can be warm and parking in the area can be tricky, but the overall sentiment is that Le Trou delivers highly tasty bagels and a charming spot worth returning to.
Love this little bagel joint. Fresh daily. Obsessed with the Everything Bagels. They're sandwiches are great! Love the atmosphere. Enjoy that they regularly add new items to the menu. I met Raphaelle in December & she was kind, inviting & goes above & beyond for her customers. She has great new & refreshing ideas & she is very passionate. I recommend this place 100%.

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.
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!
Thanks to all the previous google reviews I found & tried out this bagel place. & I was happy I did as these bagels were heavenly!! The bagel shop is not that big & is located in a nondescript lane with hard to find parking. But the first bite into the bagel sandwich put all my doubts to rest. By far the freshest bagels & sandwich ingredients, super soft & flavourful. Every bite was better than the one before it. Coffee could have been better but again I didn't go there for their coffee.
The bagel itself was fresh & tasted good, but the sandwich portion was really small - definitely not worth $10 for such a tiny meal. Also, the seating inside was uncomfortably hot, & it seemed like there was no air conditioning, so we had to eat outside. Overall, disappointing for the price.
I discovered this place the last time I was back home & came here 3x times within a week. The bagels are fresh, crunchy & heavenly delicious! The service is also top notch. I recommend all bagel lovers to come & give them a try, you won't regret it!
If you are a bagel fan you need to try Le Trou. Fresh bagels baked everyday. Full of flavor & homemade tastiness. I am a big fan of the Deluxe bagel in an everything bagel. Hits the spot, is salty just enough & full of flavors!

I was on a visit to Montreal recently, & being that the city is famous for their bagels, having them for breakfast was a must. This place went beyond my expectations... I appreciate that you can see how the bagels are made fresh & the artisan process. Best smoked salmon bagel I've had in my life!

Delicious bagels! So fresh & yummy! Cranberry-chocolate is an excellent choice! They were accommodating in preparing a few dozen to go. Very friendly, kind, & helpful staff! I will definitely visit whenever I am in Montreal!
Loved their vegetarian bagel sandwich with Hummus, Avocado, Lettuce, Onions & Tomatoes. Perfect breakfast meal. The bagels were freshly baked as well. We tried their sesame bagels & those were really good.
Must try!! Best bagels in Montreal & they only use fresh & high quality ingredients in their sandwiches. Not only is their food amazing but the staff is also the best!! Highly recommend!!!
