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!!
