We also took a dozen of fresh hot bagels. The bagels are made on the spot in a wood oven. The bagels were still hot out of the oven and they're very tasty and full of flavors. Service was quick and professional. There is a small standing area where you can eat your bagel on the go. It would be nice if they have a larger sitting area where you can enjoy your bagels. This location in Laval in the northern suburbs of Montreal is a mostly industrial/commercial area.

Holy crappola... they were unbelievably good! The portions were not thick and ginormous like some of the ones I've had back home. They were the perfect size, not too thick and still soft and chewy inside with a toasted exterior. My entire family wanted sesame bagels with cream cheese, except mine had additional lox and capers. We enjoyed them so much we are planning to return for more tomorrow morning!

To be honest, I didn't think there would be any sort of difference, but I was wrong. Montreal style bagels seem more dense. And while you would think that the higher density would make it less tasty, you would be wrong. These bagels were on par with their new york counterparts, and I dare say their "all dressed" (everything) seasoning/toppings are better than the "everything" ones in the US. I can only imagine how crazy this place gets on the weekends, and in the summer. Thankfully, we went on a Monday in March, so there were only a handful of people in front of us. We got a half dozen of the all dressed, and they gave us both a brown paper bag, and a plastic bag (in case we wanted to freeze them for later). We saw people at our hotel with bags and bags of bagels, so clearly, this is a thing people do. OVERALL - gimme some more! Sadly, I'm not aware of any place around me that sells these bad boys. If I did, you better believe I'm there. CELEBRITY RATING - Michael J. Fox (he was born in Edmonton!)

These are definitely my favorite Montreal bagels…read more As a NYC native, I think I am qualified to judge bagels. NYC bagels are definitely the best but these bagels are right up there as well. The biggest difference has to be the hint of sweet that comes from the honey. I did really like that hint of sweetness in my bagel. I was especially enamored with the poppy ones, the aroma and flavor of those were really punchy. The onion and garlic were also very aromatic. I also enjoyed these bagels as the natives do, ripping and dunking them in the cream cheese. The Tre Selle containers of cream cheese were lighter and less dense than the Philadelphia cream cheese I normally get with my bagels. Supposedly it's not a dense because it has less preservatives. I tried the bagel crisps and other items but the bagels are definitely the draw. I ended up grabbing a dozen for my trip back to the states. Fairmount doesn't have as many locations as the main competitor in the area and these is no where to eat in. This is strictly a grab your bagels to go, the ambiance is compact once inside.

Line out the door (just barely), but that's usually a good sign right? Once I made it in the door, I saw ALL the bagels, and I mean ALL THE BAGELS. What's nice is they also have a small, refrigerated area with drinks and different types of cream cheeses and such (in case you didn't happen to have some already). Had to dry the all dressed bagels and they were LEGIT. Did a side by side comparison with St. Viateur and our family was split 2:2 with which on they liked more. Needless to say this was a solid bagel offering, and one which we were more than happy to take back to the US with us (they too provide a paper bag and a plastic bag in case you'd like to freeze them to consume later). OVERALL - gotta go. like American and Lafayette in Detroit, you gotta try both premier bagel outlets in Montreal, or you're doing yourself a disservice. CELEBRITY RATING - Catherine O'Hara

I recently discovered this place thanks to my wonderful husband.. can't believe he kept this secret from me for so long. I wanted some fresh delicious challah bread/ rolls so he suggested Yagel Bagel.. so I was in agreement and told him to get us there asap. Ambiance: As soon as we arrived, they had about 10 reserved parking spots just for us customers which I found super thoughtful and excellent. We walked in and to my surprise a blast of fresh scent of oven baked bread just hit me and I was blinded with the delicious scent of fresh baked goodies. It was oh so heavenly! Service: super friendly and quick! They make you pick a number at the front door and you wait your turn to get served. It's always busy but the staff is Fast and super attentive. They make sure to get you everything you want in a jiffy. They are always there to please and make you happy after every visit. Product: Wholesome and delicious.. I am amazed of the freshness. This bakery makes amazing homemade bread.. however, their name suggest they are a bagel shop but they don't make it in-house.. they re-sell St-Viateur and Fairmount bagels ahaha it's alright I totally prefer they're amazing Challah rolls anyway.. something about them makes me go back here all the time. I'm now a loyal customer and will totally be back here soon ! Mmmm deeelish totally recommend.

As a New Yorker, I am particular about bagels, and I understood that Montreal Bagels are a different style. I was told by my family in the area that this place was very good, and so my travelling companion and I went in search of a good example of the form. We were not disappointed. For other New Yorkers happening to be in the area, Montreal bagels are thinner and sweeter than ours. For locals stumbling upon my review, if you are not getting your bagels from these guys, rethink your life choices.
