Glen Spence has been producing excellent bagels made by hand. Always fresh, its bagels are cooked in a wood oven which gives them their signature flavor sought out by enthusiasts.
Reviewers consistently praise M.T.L. Bagel for fresh, warm, fluffy bagels with a wide variety of flavors and toppings and for creamy, flavorful homemade cream cheeses. Sesame is often the standout, but banana chocolate chip and cranberry coconut are also favorites, and many say the bagels make the best bagel sandwiches in town; some note that a visit is worth the drive and that the shop is a neighborhood staple with a great selection. A few comments mention occasional inconsistency in dough or service and the space being a bit tight for dine-in, but the staff are repeatedly described as friendly and welcoming, contributing to a warm, casual vibe that keeps customers coming back.
Bagel was fresh, toasty, & yummy! We tried the onion & garlic bagel & we highly recommend. We even ate it outside the place then went right back in to order some more. Staff was very friendly :)
I'm happy to leave another well deserved five star review. We got a smoked salmon & chicken bagel sandwiches & both were perfect. The bagels were just right & fresh, the ratio to the tasty layers in the middle was ideal. There's also a little park with benches & a picnic table around the corner where you can eat your lunch. We are most certainly coming back next time we're in Montreal 🥇
The best bagel/ yardi food in Mtl. I enjoyed the food everything is fresh. Also the different flavors of bagel that's a plus!! & different choices of jamaican food The service is great.

The most mind blowing bagel experience ever. Watch them make the bagels fresh in a wood fired oven. The flavor combinations are truly unique & delicious. Cranberry coconut. & carrots with pineapple are my favorites. My wife's breakfast sandwich was incredible. We took a dozen home.
I can't say enough about this place. Great service. Delicious food. Honestly, it was THE best breakfast sandwich I have ever had in my life. I had egg, cheddar cheese, & smoked turkey on an all-around everything bagel. The bagel was fresh. The egg was cooked to perfection. The cheese melted perfectly. The turkey was perfectly smoked & mouthwatering. Delicious. A must visit if you're in the area.
Friendly staff. Consistently good food. Always fresh. They sell & serve a wide variety of custom cream cheese like smoked salmon & one of my faves, lemon cream cheese. They have a $4 bagel cream cheese & coffee special every morning before noon! I get mine with Swiss, melted!

Great service & fresh bagels baked on wood planks! Different flavours such as onion & garlic, carrot pineapple, blueberry & cranberry make for an interesting selection!
Bagels are always fresh & delicious. Try their tuna salad - they should call it spicy tuna - it’s delish!! Their purchase & points system is wacky - but hey - it’s all about the bagels - right!!
