    Loved this bagel place! It came recommended by a friend and It didn't disappoint. We walked in and grabbed some popcorn and chips to go. I love that there's some snacks to grab and go. Ordering was too easy and the staff was super nice. I got a bagel with butter. It was fairly quick. But I enjoyed watching the bagels come out of the oven anyways. I was amazed. This place is open 24 hours a day and we enjoyed our visit. We felt safe and would totally go back.

    Toasted day-old seasonal green (plain) bagels for St. Patrick's Day with cream cheese and butter

    As per their website, they use a recipe dated back to Krakow, Poland from 1610. Not sure why they call them Montreal-style if the recipe is from Poland, but they haven't changed their recipe since 1993 and have pledged to never change it. They're hand-rolled in-store (I do miss seeing this part in person), boiled in honey water, and wood-fired. They have a crispy outside, chewy texture inside - just as I remember, even day-old! It's been awhile since I've had Kettleman's, so I was really happy to hear that my in-laws had picked up a bag of day-old bagels. They were cheaper because they weren't freshly made, but I didn't mind - nothing a good toasting couldn't fix! They usually have seasonal bagels, which I actually haven't had before, so I chose a green St. Patrick's Day bagel just because. It's actually just a plain bagel, no special flavour, but the colour seems to throw some people off, like my husband haha. I always crave a good everything bagel, but the plain was great toasted with butter and cream cheese. I do wish I had some of their seasonal Irish Cream cream cheese to try, though. I've bought their chive cream cheese and dill pickle cream cheeses from Burrow Shop as well. They're not cheap, but nice as a treat. Of course, the chive one is delicious, but don't sleep on the dill pickle. It is ADDICTIVE, especially on crackers. Not sure if Kettleman's has bagel chips, but if they don't they really need to get on that, stat!

    Huge piece of dough!

    Visited 2 locations in Ottawa More I visit Ottawa, more I like/find (imagine that!) Kettlemans is coming to Etobicoke/Toronto soon; can't wait (near my house), the breakfast bagel was excellent, so was the turkey. Montreal style/quality bagels (sesame seeds favourite).

    It's a typical busy day at Kettleman's!!

    I picked up a dozen bagels - 3 different kinds: pumpernickel, poppy seeds, and sesame seeds. They were all delicious! And I topped it off with a pretzel. Boy are these ever good! BIG, and a bit salty, but very tasty. This outlet has seating so you can eat in the restaurant, or you can buy to go. They offer refrigerated foods, such as Lox, cream cheese, a variety of cold drinks. Good food, and good service. I will certainly be back.

    If you're in Ottawa and haven't been to Kettleman's, I feel bad for you son. I've got 99 problems but a bagel ain't one! All jokes aside, KBC has been a local favourite for...FOREVER now. Ever since their doors have opened, they have not close (literally) since they are 24/7!!! One of my close friends and girlfriend introduced me to KBC and every time I'm in town I grab myself a breakfast bagel on sesame! Their breakfast bagel includes egg, cheese and a generous amount of bacon in between a fresh bagel from the oven. Their breakfast bagel is like no other along with their sesame seed bagels. Their sesame seed bagels are so popular that they are shipped out to numerous local retailers to be sold. One cool thing about Kettleman's is that you get to watch them roll and stretch the dough and form the bagels right in front of you before they put into their huge oven with long paddle boards. The only con is that there isn't one in Toronto.... yet Unfortunately I never take pictures of the food because I eat it instantly. The interior pictures of this location is attached to this review. Keep it up Kettleman's!

    Breakfast Combo

    Took my family of two adults and three kids here for breakfast. Ample parking outside as it is located in a large outdoor mall. Plenty of seating outside and you can see them making the fresh bagels. The man rolling out the bagel rings even gave my kids some dough to play with while we waited for our meal. We ordered a breakfast combo, a bagel dog, and a CBC Melt. The breakfast combo is a bagel with egg and bacon that comes with a potato latkes (like a hash brown) and a coffee or juice. The bagel sandwich is delicious and the coffee is brewed using Illy beans which was decent and unlimited. I would pass on the combo next time because the latkes was way too salty and overcooked. The bagel dog is a hotdog wrapped in with bagel dough and the kids enjoyed it. The CBC Melt is a bagel with a seasoned chicken breast and melted cheese. Another delicious sandwich but maybe a bit too heavy for breakfast. Breakfast aside, this is by far my favourite place is Ottawa to get Montreal style bagels with many locations throughout the city.

    Improper mask use, service much slower. We love Kettlemans! However the speed of service has gone down immensely since they started using Uber eats. We're able to get past that and wait a bit longer for our food because we love it so much, however I was very disappointed with the staff this morning. There were 2 gentleman making bagels and one of them kept pulling his mask up above his nose and going back to the dough without washing his hands. He did this at least 8-10 times in the just over 5 mins we waited for our food. Even worse, the staff member behind these two who was working at the oven had his mask way below his nose for quite awhile and only pulled it up when I took a photo!! This is unacceptable, especially coming from healthcare, I know you must always wash your hands after you touch your mask and if these kettlemans branded masks keep going below the nose then maybe they should change them to ones that work properly? This is not my first run in at kettlemans with improper mask wearing. We are very disappointed, and we will be re-evaluating our need to go to kettlemans now and in the future even post pandemic.

I ordered the full size sandwich because the server said it was about the size of my hand....instead each half was the size of my hand. Way too much. It wasn't grilled but toasted without butter on the outside. The cheese seemed to be processed cheese, it was so thick and gooey and flavourless. The soup was too tangy for a "creamy" tomato soup. For the price I paid for a soup and sandwich it should have been served to me instead of me standing in line for it. Vicky

The Long Version: I love food places tucked away in industrial parks. So when I had a medical appointment in an industrial part of town, I looked up all the eateries nearby and Shorty's popped up. I picked up 2 sandwiches. They were $8.41 each and were huge. I ate half of each and saved the rest for later. The first sandwich was a grilled chicken sandwich and the second sandwich was a build your own 3 meats sandwich. I chose ham, turkey and roast beef. I got havarti as the cheese. For the grilled chicken sandwich, I got double smoked cheddar as the cheese. I got both sandwiches on the cheese and jalapeno bread and got the same toppings on both: lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, spicy eggplant, crispy onions and crispy jalapenos. I didn't get any sauce/dressing on the sandwiches because I don't like wet sandwiches. Both sandwiches were delicious. I loved all the different toppings and the crispy onions and jalapenos gave it that extra crunch. I'm all about textures so I really enjoyed the contrasts. Service was efficient. There are seats to dine in if you wish to, but it's more a takeout joint. Free parking available in the industrial strip mall. There are even picnic tables in the parking lot. Review #106 (2025)

The Monday special for today (Monday) is the build your own bowl of the day. You choose the ingredients - all different, or double up on the ones you love best. Can't go wrong with this! And the Ranch dressing was awesome! Very garlic and dill! The server was patient with us, which we appreciated, and helped ease things along by making suggestions. The setting is a bit like a subway sandwich bar, where you order at the counter and wait for your order. This gives it a fast food chain feeling. It had some low chairs at tables, and some high cafe chairs against the counter along the wall and windows. We were alone when we started, but it got quite busy!! I wish some soups had been on display (although I was happy with what I got), and that the seating had been a tad more comfortable. We never did find out what the wifi password is; something to add for next time. Can't wait to go back!!

It might have been just the Buddha's Bowl itself because my husband's Oaxaca Bowl portions were much more generous than mine.

The entire contents of the bowl did not fill up even half of the bowl. Other than that, friendly cashier.

I've eaten at Freshii before in other parts of the city, so I knew what to expect. What was a surprise was how affordable their offerings are compared to other salad bowl restaurants in the area. But, being a chain franchise comes at a compromise. In the quest to have the food taste the same regardless of which Freshii you visit, the ingredients aren't as unique or as fresh as they could be compared to a restaurant that offers fresh, local ingredients. That being said, it's still nice to have an alternate choice when the family wants a fresh, healthy alternative in Barrhaven. And, the service was fast and friendly!
