Love their fresh sesame bagels... So tasty! They have a variety of bagels to choose from. Buying 6 of a kind would be a bit cheaper.

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!

J'ai été à 3 reprises pour donner une chance à une entreprise locale près de chez moi. Mais ce sera la dernière fois. Le bagel saumon fumé manquait de garniture. La 2e & 3e fois j'ai pris des bagels à emporter, aux sésames. Ils sont devenus secs rapidement malgré qu'ils étaient dans un sac.

I'm from New York so I've had a lot of good bagels. I wanted to try a solid Montreal bagel & this place did not disappoint. The sesame bagel I had was crispy & chewy but light. I had the vegetarian sandwich version with a slice of havarti instead of feta - so good!! I loved the bagels so much I came back to take home half a dozen to freeze! They freeze well btw!

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.

I went in today to buy a dozen sesame bagels & was told I could only take six because they needed to'save them for other clients.' I was a client, standing at the counter ready to purchase, yet was forced to take plain & poppy seed instead-neither of which I enjoy. The bagels themselves are just average, & with so many better (& more reasonably priced) bagel shops in Montreal, I'll be going elsewhere moving forward.

Their bagel made me realize how bad the Costco ones really are. This one had a perfect crispy exterior with great texture - not overly chewy like most. The smoked salmon paired beautifully with the sesame bagel, & every ingredient worked together flawlessly. Absolutely the best bagel I've ever had. I just wish I could find something this good in the U.S.!

Ok, real review time.. I don't write many reviews but reading the insane posts here, I had to set the record straight.. The SESAME bagel is nowhere near a "montreal bagel".. I didn't try any of the "sandwiches" which may be fine, but we're talking bagels here.... Sticking with a pure montreal bagel, this doesn't cut it. Take the trip to st viateur, Fairmount, bagel ouest in ddo or even kettlemans in a pinch. This was the second time I got bagels after being dissapointed with texture & taste when they opened. They may look like our bagels but they have the insides of a new York bagel. I knew the second I picked one up. That's fine if you like that, but it ain't what us bagel purists are about.. Please don't consider the SESAME as a representation of a "real" montreal bagel.. It's a hybrid at best.. Also, strangely the only bagel shop I've been to, to give 12, & not 13 (bakers dozen) when you buy a dozen...

My wife, kids, & I came here on our family trip. Great bagels. My wife had the sesame bagel with cream cheese, son had cinnamon/raisin, & I had the beer Parmesan bagel with ham/egg/lettuce/tomato. Owner was very nice & I would highly recommend this spot.

De passage à Montréal, je devais goûter un Bagel! J'ai pris celui au Saumon qui était parfait que ce soit au niveau du pain au sésame comme au niveau de la fraîcheur du Saumon!!! Si vous êtes de passages à Montréal ou êtes du coin, je vous recommande ce restaurant ! 🔥
