Breakfast bagel
Angela A.

What a cozy and beautiful place. Went there for a quick bagel breakfast and I wasn't disappointed. So fresh and so many options to choose from. If you get a coffee they also have a wall full of mugs and you choose your own that I found pretty cool. Super quick service you order at the cash, pay and they bring it to your table.

Wow, just wow! Everything here was amazing. My boyfriend enjoyed the hot chocolate. If you get a meal it comes with a side salad and soup. The bagel was soooo soft. You can definitely tell that the bagel is baked fresher daily. I was a little disappointed that I missed their infamous Benedict by 3 mins ! (Kitchen closes at 3pm). I definitely would like to return and try their Benedict's !!

I was not a fan of the food. The tomato soup was not good at all. It made me really sick. I had the turkey bagel and it was okay. The service was great.

Pricey house cream cheese with bacon (?) in it.

Perhaps I'm being too harsh with three stars for Bagel St-Lo: the space reminds me of a 90s neighbourhood cafe and the staff were downright the sweetest (and honestly really patient when I walked clearly not knowing what I was in for). I think where I can't justify a higher rating is in the product: these are almost New York style bagels (this is Verdun, ya'll!). On top of that, selection is limited: sesame, poppy, plain and cheese, and I found the taste factor just OK. What kinda got me bummed out was the cheese bagel: it's legit just a plain bagel with a piece of cheese on top and significantly pricier than the other options. That's not a cheese bagel, people! Onto the more positive: when I visited on Saturday they were also selling $15 giant boxes of past-prime veg that local shops were passing. I got SO much good food for $15! This also definitely added to the nice community vibes as it shows they're committed to reducing waste. I also picked up their house cream cheese which is pretty good but wayyyyy too expensive. Honestly, I dig this place enough that I'll probably be back, but not really for the product, much more for the nice staff and community vibes.

*COVID-19 EDITION* A M B I A N C E Don't forgot to wear your mask inside! Adorable coffee and bagel shop located in Verdun! Amazing spot to grab a latte then walk down Wellington! C L E A N L I N E S S Pretty good! I have no complaints! O V E R A L L Q U A L I T Y These bagels are wonderful! Growing up on St. Visitor's bagels I've been spoiled, but these are a close second for me. My partner likes these more! The bagels are super tasty and less dense than others. They also have custom homemade cream cheese! I've tried the "Leak and Bacon" cream cheese and it's AH-MAZING. I also tried the "Sun-dried tomatoes & Bacon" but it exploded in my white bag and stained the bag, tasted great but mixed feelings over the whole experience. My sister tried the "Jalapeno" cream cheese and I had a bite and it wasn't too hot which is nice! I can't do spicy food but this was tasty! They make good coffee and have different vegan and cow milk options. When ordering breakfast, my partner believes that they serve an inacceptable amount of beans! We want more beans! C O S T Pretty standard brunch costs! But the bagels are wonderful and quite inexpensive! Highly recommend! W A I T T I M E S If you're just coming for bagels or coffee the wait is very quick! However, if you want to sit down and order breakfast and lunch there is a short wait! P A R K I N G & L O C A T I O N On Verdun and Argyle. Really close to the Wellington walkway in Verdun. The street is less busy than Wellington, but still has some cute shops. There's paid parking on the street and free parking on side streets!

Tomato soup with bagel croutons

First time checking out bagel st-low and it was nice. The place was packed for a Monday afternoon inside and out so it had to be good. Got the blt which was really good and crispy bacon just how I like it :) The salad is nice that comes with it but should be more as the bagel isn't very filling. Will be back for the blueberry cream cheese and bagels :)

Egg Benedict

A great place to go to have a relaxing brunch in a cozy cafe and pick up bagels for the week before you leave. The brunch menu is yummy and the ambience is just right - a bit of bustling but still nice and cozy. The bagels are a bit on the denser side, so they are really great when toasted - it will be crunchy on the outside and chewy in the inside. Also, if you want to pick up meals from the store freezer, I recommend the lasagna! Tastes homemade.

Jamie W and I didn't waste any time trying this one. It was a bus ride away from our hotel, and we were anticipating a long line when we arrived in the morning. Surprisingly there was a queue but not for Fairmount. It was for the obviously popular gnocchi next door at Drogheria Fine. Lucky for us we walked right in and didn't really have a chance to think about our order. The no-nonsense order takers were not up for chit-chat, so we impulsively decided on two C$1.40 Sesame and one C$1.50 Cinnamon & Raisin (Photo 8) plus a couple of C$0.80 mini-packets of Philadelphia cream cheese. There wasn't much to our interaction, so we took our haul across Boulevard Saint-Laurent to Parc Saint-Michel where we found an open picnic table. We immediately noticed how much softer they were than the ones we were used to. They were also a bit smaller which we didn't mind at all. The sesame bagels were nicely aerated, and the cinnamon and raisin one had a sweetness beyond the raisins. It turned out the cream cheese was somewhat superfluous, even though we ordered it more out of habit. As it turned out, we did end up trying a bagel from St-Viateur later that day, and I'm here to report that we are Team Fairmount. There wasn't a huge difference between the two, and St-Viateur has the advantage of showing how they make their bagels, but flavorwise, Fairmount has the slight edge. FOOD - 5 stars...chewy, sweeter, and nicely aerated AMBIANCE - 4 stars...small shop set up for takeout SERVICE - 4 stars...very much all-business, fast transaction TOTAL - 5 stars...Montrèal's best bagel?...could be RELATED - Exploring Montreal?

This may get my New Yorker card revoked but ... Montreal Bagels are better than New York Bagels…read more There, I said it. That is strictly based on preference ... If you're preference leans towards less carbs, more flavor, welcome to the Montreal Bagel Lovers - NYC Chapter. Fairmont was the most pleasant mistake I've made recently. I thought the line was for gnocchi but instead I ended up with the best bagels I've had in years. The bagels are fresh and packed with flavor. The Pina Colada bagel is life changing. The wait is well worth it and I highly recommend that Fairmont be your first stop in Montreal during your visit.

I'm a huge fan of Somebody Feed Phil, and after watching Phil rave about St-Viateur Bagel Café--and…read moreeven do his signature happy dance over the bagels--I knew I had to try it for myself. I've eaten bagels my entire life and honestly never thought they were anything that special. But when we had the chance to visit Montreal, this was one of the first places on our list. When we arrived, there was a long line, and we waited about 35 minutes. Normally, that would make me question whether it's worth it, but this time it absolutely was. I ordered the smoked salmon with fig jam on an everything bagel, and it was incredible. The bagel was perfectly fresh, with a chewy interior and just the right amount of crispness on the outside. Combined with the smoked salmon and the sweetness of the fig jam, it was one of the best bagel sandwiches I've ever had. I rarely say this, but it was 100% worth the wait. My only disappointment is that I didn't have enough time to try their famous competitor so I could compare the two. I guess that just gives me another reason to come back to Montreal!

Though, I do come from California and we are not known for bagels. I got here around noon on Monday and there was a substantial line out the door. One of the workers asked if I was getting takeout and when I answered in the affirmative and that I was only getting plain bagels, she escorted me to the counter. Amazing that I didn't have to wait in the same line for dine in and sandwiches/with spread! I was leaving Montreal that day and decided to get some for my mom and also my partner. I got 4 blueberry bagels and two maple apple. Came out to $9. I don't have a photo of the maple apple because I devoured it on the plane. I enjoyed the sweetness of the blueberry and the maple apple bagels. The honey taste in the dough really came out, delicious! I will have to come back next time I'm in Montreal! I can't speak to the ambiance because I was very in and out, loved how quick it was!

This classic bagel chain business is locked in a decades-long battle with Fairmount Bagel. Perhaps…read moreit's like "Heated Rivalry" where they present themselves as public arch-enemies in the fiercely competitive world of bagel making while conducting a clandestine affair behind the ovens. OK, maybe I'm just speculating, but the rivalry story worked on Jamie W and me. It wasn't even an hour after eating the Fairmount bagels that we found ourselves here. If I was to judge the two competitive shops on optics and friendliness, St-Viateur would win hands down. The moment we opened the front door, we were dumbstruck by the sea of freshly baked bagels laid out to be picked up by the cashier. Behind the bagels, a couple of the more seasoned staff were taking bagels out of the huge brick oven (Photo 5). None of that was visible at Fairmount nor was a smile. Here the cashier was really friendly. He also happily accepted a credit card for payment. In a way, it wasn't a fair fight because we bought three bagels at Fairmount and had room for just one from here. We chose the C$1.50 Maple Apple Bagel (Photo 7) and noticed it had a slightly crunchier crust than the similar Cinnamon and Raisin from Fairmount. It was also not quite as sweet, but then we didn't bother getting cream cheese. We slightly favored Fairmount, but it was close to a dead heat. FOOD - 5 stars...I favor Fairmount slightly, but this one was very good, too AMBIANCE - 5 stars...exposure to the vintage bagel making process makes this more unique SERVICE - 4.5 stars...really friendly here TOTAL - 5 stars...the "Heated Rivalry" of bagels, right?

Boulangerie Guillaume caught my eye unexpectedly. I did not have this place on my list of bakeries…read moreto try while in Montreal, but as I was walking in the area I noticed many people holding their distinctive yellow bags. I was intrigued, and since I can always go for some carbs I decided to head in and check this place out. Unlike most bakeries I visited, Boulangerie Guillaume has a much more modern look, and is larger than a standard bakery. Walking in, I was immediately greeted by stairs which led up to the main production area. All of the bakes were arranged on the back-wall perimeter of the space separated from the pedestrians by a glass wall. The color scheme was mostly black to contrast the bright yellow of the bags and signage. The arrangement of the bakes, combined with the color scheme and modern aesthetics, resulted in a stunning, visually striking presentation. I wasn't too hungry, but I can always go for some sweets and their date square looked good. I went with that, along with a cappuccino. The square was delicious - the dates were high quality, and the crust underneath was moist while maintaining its integrity. The cappuccino was also good, a great complement to the bake. Service was efficient, and overall I had a great experience at Boulangerie Guillaume. I definitely want to return to explore more of their menu - I noticed they had some savory items so perhaps for some lunch. Definitely one of the best bakeries I visited in Montreal.
