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

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.

Do you guys know that you can get freshly baked authentic St-Viateur bagels here?! Yup, hot, straight out of a wood burning oven. Make a left after you pick up your bagels, to the fish counter, & pick up the best smoked salmon in the city. I don't have to tell you about the cream cheese.

Freshly made Montreal styled bagels & sandwiches. Great atmosphere & a huge variety of bagels, cream cheese & other jams, syrups etc to choose from in the boutique. They had a separate section to buy merch from. The cafe had quite a few choices. Overall a nice experience to go get some fresh bagels. Our favourite was the blueberry & classic sesame bagels. The apple maple & all dressed bagels were also delicious.
