The photos lie. There are no sandwiches here.

There is a decent size line for this location, we'll worth the wait, their loaded bagels are the best in Montreal.
Staff are very friendly & a quick table turnover so the line moves quickly.

I was excited to try the famous Montreal-style bagels, but the experience was just average for me. The bagels were fresh, & there was a good variety to choose from, but I found them a bit overrated compared to what I expected. The staff were polite, & the shop was clean, but overall it didn't quite live up to the hype. Worth trying once if you're curious, but it wasn't a place I'd personally go out of my way to visit again.

Nous sommes arrivés vers 11h45. Très peu d attente. Les serveurs étaient très aimables, réactifs à nos demandes & nous ont expliqué comment passer les commandes. Nous avons déjeuné en terrasse, très agréable & accessible si vous venez en famille avec une poussette.

I had my first St-Viateur Bagel here. Hot & fresh! I ordered the sesame & all dressed. 10/10 would recommend. Cash only

The owner was so kind. We came there looking for the cream cheese along with bagels . This location only sells bagels. The owner gave us an alternate address plus hot free bagels for the kids that just came out of the oven. That made the kids very happy. Thank you for the great service

The other review showing a cafe is wrong, they're pictures from another location. This grocery store location only sells four bagel flavours, cash only. No seating or special sandwich types available.

If you find yourself in the Saint-Laurent area craving a true Montreal-style bagel but want to avoid the iconic, hour-long lines at the Mile End flagship, look no further than the St-Viateur Bagel counter hidden inside Marché Esposito on Boulevard Marcel-Laurin.

This location is an absolute hidden gem. While you won't find a fancy café menu or an elaborate selection of artisanal cream cheeses here, you will find exactly what matters: the authentic, OG Montreal bagel. Because it is tucked away inside a working supermarket, the experience feels refreshingly local & efficient. I have visited multiple times & have yet to wait in anything resembling a line.

The quality is everything you expect from the brand-the perfect chew, that subtle honey-water sweetness, & the signature crispy crust from the wood-fired oven. These bagels are the real deal, pulled hot & fresh in a setting that prioritizes substance over spectacle.

Beyond the product, the staff are genuinely wonderful. They are kind, welcoming, & clearly take pride in the legacy of the bakery they represent. It's a warm, no-nonsense experience that lets the food speak for itself.

Whether you are grabbing a dozen to take home or just need one hot sesame bagel for the road, this spot is a masterclass in convenience without compromising on quality. For anyone living or working in the greater Montreal area, I cannot recommend this hidden outpost strongly enough. It is the quintessential neighborhood bagel experience.

Still ok, but not as good as it happened to be
