As Montreal bagels go, this is what you should expect. Compact discs of dough that serve as a cream cheese conduit and coffee accessory. Lots of Choices here. Excellent service. Outside Table is rickety. Would come here again anytime I craved a not New York bagel. read more

Really wanted a BLT Bagel and was originally going to go to Tim Horton's but when I saw this place was close by, I opted for a more authentic place with better options and their price point was the same, so that's a bonus. I ordered it in an onion bagel and it was delicious and didn't feel so generic. The service was quick and efficient, and friendly. The bagel was delicious. I would've liked to have a note lettuce, tomato and bacon. The place is small so be prepared to stand and wait if you can't find a seat. The bathroom requires stairs just a heads up. Would return again to try a bagel with cream cheese. read more

I got a few bagels to try- the coconut and everything were my favorite and had a good texture. I also ordered the iced coffee and iced tea- I recommend the tea to be sweetened as it can be sour without sugar, but I enjoyed them! read more

Crowded small space with 0 organization & no direction/employees helping people organize themselves. Coffee was better than the bagel, which was weirdly very sweet. This is my first time having a Montreal style bagel so maybe that's normal?? I got lox bagel on sesame. Ingredients were sliding about, cream cheese wasn't very tangy, and it was just overall mid. I got a cinnamon raisin bagel and cinnamon twist as sweet treats... also very mid. Planning to explore other nearby bagel spots don't plan on returning here read more

Ordered a potato and spinach knish which is supposed to be a doughy/croissanty pastry with a savoury filling. Felt like I bit into a day's old pie. Wont recommend this item. Customer service can be enhanced as well read more

This spot was ok. We walked pretty (not sure about parking) far due to the good reviews and it did the job but not sure if it's 100% worth going out of your way for. If you're close by though def check it out! These were also sweet bagels which I haven't had before - it was something fun to try! Very limited seating inside and a long line out the door so come prepared to wait. read more

I had not heard of Montreal style bagels until I came across this place. The shop is pretty small and there was a line when we went in but it went pretty quick. These woodfired bagels are delicious. I decided to stick with a plain bagel with some cream cheese. The cream cheese was really good and you could tell it was fresh or at least not store bought. And the bagel was nice and a little crunchy. I ended up getting half a dozen to bring back home! read more

It's just okay. I would say it's average. The workers were very nice, polite, and attentive. The bagels are not it. I had an everything bagel with chive cream cheese. The bagel tasted like seasame, that's it, and the cream cheese tasted a little tangy, not creamy. The egg sandwich was blah. The texture was hard, crunchy not soft chewy. They had a cute table to sit at outside. Would I recommend this place or come back? Naaa Just my honest review. read more

Bagels on Fire - a bagel sandwich and a bagel sandwich - Bagels Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Very good, slightly sweet wood fired bagels. The cream cheese is tangy and if not homemade, is not Kraft or another big brand. Lox bagel was not overly filled, but was a good ratio of fish to bagel and was a very good price. Friendly service. read more

We took a lovely walk up to Queen Street and across on a warm sunny afternoon. Growing in popularity by the day, Bagels on Fire is a relatively simple bakery that is laser focused on delivering an exceptional bagel experience. The first thing you notice is a grang hearth in which the bagels are made, with several offerings of Monteal and New York style bagel. For about $3.00 each you can get a terrific bagel with your choice of cream cheese. Trying to watch my carbs, I made a exception this one time! When you walk along Queen, you really can appreciate the small businesses and folks struggling during COVID-19. Today, some were boarded up. You can really appreciate what Bagels on Fire and others' in the area experience eveyday. Dont forget to grab a dozen when your in the area! Zuk read more

I would probably love this place more if it weren't for Nu Bügel nearby in Kensington with their boiled bagels that pack a punch. Bagels on Fire has been doing a good business on Queen West, as it fills a niche, which is that there isn't any place like it nearby. Around the corner on Spadina there's another bagel spot, but for Queen St. this is it. I buy their bagels occasionally, and they have a good deal on day-old bags of random bagels for around $7 which is good. Their bagels are different than Nu Bügel in that they are lighter, fluffier, less substantial, lack the intensity, but do hit the spot. They also have bagel twists which I haven't tried but remind me of a pretzel. One thing that is very impressive here is the selection of cream cheese to go with. There are so many! Something to explore if this is your passion. As far as Montreal style, etc., I don't know one from the other, so can't help with the nuances of what compares to what and "you gotta be in some other city to get a good bagel" or whatever. I do know that these are good bagels and worth stopping in. The other aspect is that their hours are good and often when I walk down Queen St., there is a crowd outside waiting to get their fix, when nothing else is open. I haven't tried their prepared sandwiches, maybe that's the attraction. So that has to say something about their service and their product. read more

Yummy Montreal style bagels and good cream cheese. Flavours on the everything bagel were nicely balanced.

The bagels here were fresh and pretty tasty. We were a bit bummed some flavors were not in stock that we wanted to try. Service was average.

The tourist in me was intrigued by the notion of Montreal style bagels and was not disappointed. I came in direct from the airport looking for brunch and ended up getting a lox sandwich along with a few plain bagels to try as it's a style I'm not familiar with. First impressions were that the bagels themselves were smaller than those of typical New York Style bagels. The crispy crust was interesting as was the bready heft. I can't say they're better than New York but different for sure. There was not a ton of lox inside the sandwich but there was enough to get the flavor across. I definitely wanted more. The cream cheese was sweeter than I expected and the lox was salty; tasty nonetheless. The cheese bagel was sweet! This was unexpected. Tasty as well but not remarkable, more novelty. As far as the store itself goes, it's utilitarian with the small tables for dining inside and one bistro table outside. The only thing that was disappointing was them rubbing it off the popular flavors by 1:15. I was told "yeah those bagels always sell out first." ... Then why not make more of those flavors Iif they're the most popular and have them sell out... last... if not at all? The coffee was warm and tasty and, so far, Bagels on Fire have the best Montreal style bagels I've had. read more

Come here for the fresh bagels, you can see them baking in the morning. They have a good variety and some unique options such as coconut ! These ones seem less doughy and more chewy which can be a positive or negative pending your preferences. Overall, prices are fair and food is fresh so give it a try! read more

Popped by on Sunday to grab a bagel for breakfast and I am so impressed with this establishment. There was already a line forming when I got there so between waiting in line and to getting my food I'd say it took approximately 8-10 minutes. This can be totally overcome my ordering online! Great restrictions in place in regards to following the guidelines for COVID19; with only 3 people allowed in the store. We got: 1. Lox & Cream Cheese on Sesame Seed Bagel: This was yummy! The bagel itself was very similar to the ones from Montreal. I hope to find a little more lox on the bagels in the future though 2. Montreal Smoked Meat on a Everything Bagel: This is definitely my fave. Get this if you're a fan of the sandwich. The only downside is that the menu up on the wall is super tiny so I had to whip out my phone to hurriedly find their menu. read more

Really enjoyed these bagels, they were very good! Especially the pretzel bagel with red pepper cream cheese

Absolutely incredible bagels. I ordered from Bagels on Fire this morning through UberEats. I got six bagels and a tub of their chilli cilantro cream cheese. The bagels arrived fresh and warm and they smelled so fresh and delicious. I immediately cut into an onion bagel and toasted it slightly and slathered it with the cream cheese. What surprised me the most was the texture. The crunch of the outside combined with the soft chewy inside was absolutely delicious. Flavour wise the bagel was spot on. It lacked salt but I think that's expected from a bagel and the saltiness is probably supposed to come from the fillings. I also expected the cream cheese to have a little bit more flavour but it was primarily plain cream cheese with a hint of cilantro. I still really enjoyed it. I'm so excited to try the other flavours I ordered (coconut!!!) and will definitely make an effort to visit Bagels on Fire in person so I can try their bagel sandwiches. read more

Amazing bagels and really good homemade cream cheese. The texture of the bagels is really good and they are loaded with seeds all over them. The dough itself is not too sweet. Highly recommend. Will get more for sure!! read more

Super friendly staff and great tasting bagels. Would have preferred a little more meat but other than that i totally recommend. Great prices! read more

Incredible bagels, the fire gives them a wonderful toasty-ness, perfect amount of chew. Got the breakfast and lox & cream cheese sandwiches. The former is a great value and perfect for a hangover. The other has a great ratio of salmon vs. cream cheese, the scallion flavour is especially tasty. read more

We've tried few types of bagels a few times. I think it is good change from your day-to-day grocery store or local store bagels. I like the smoky flavour in the bagels since they are baked in wood oven at the store. I like Everything Bagel, but Coconut bagel is a good change too! read more

Literally the best bagels in town! I highly recommend their BLT bagel and bagel club sandwich. These bagels make the best breakfast!

Bagel was not very big, staff was rude. Gave my coffee to me had to ask twice for cream and sugar. Another customer was trying to get a breakfast tea they gave him wrong kind and hard time. Very hot inside as well. read more

Rude staff. Bland bagels that are overpriced. Skip this place and venture elsewhere. You'll be glad you did!

We decided to try Bagel on Fire and boy we weren't disappointed! I had an Everything Bagel Breakfast sandwich and it was SO delicious!! Bagels are the perfect texture. So fresh! Love how they have the wood oven so you can see how they bake them. We ended up getting a dozen to bring home as well as the Chili Cilantro cream cheese. Great service and definitely following Covid rules. We will definitely be back. read more

The best everything bagel I've ever had! Highly recommend the breakfast sandwich as well. Thank you!

My boyfriend and I tried their bagel sandwiches on a recent trip to Toronto, and I must say we were quite impressed! On the first day he got an everything bagel with egg, cheese, and bacon and I got the rosemary sea salt bagel. We'd only ever had New York style bagels previously, so I was eager to try the Montreal style I'd heard so much about. It didn't disappoint. The bagel was lightly sweet, chewy, and not so large I felt sick after eating it. Perfection! My boyfriend had no clue that a Montreal style bagel even existed (he was born in Brooklyn, give him a break) but he said he liked it better than the ones in New York. I wasn't sure I believed him, but he woke up the next day demanding the exact same bagel sandwich. This time I went for Montreal smoked meat on an everything bagel. Hands down it was one of the tastiest breakfast sandwiches I've ever had, period. My biggest regret is not coming here sooner so I could get a Montreal smoked meat bagel sandwich every day (this was our last morning in the area). I'm now stuck researching how to get the meat and a dozen Montreal style bagels shipped to the United States. Well done! read more

They have one in the beaches that is 10/10. So glad they opened a location near me. Great breakfast sandwiches and bagels. Very cozy spot
