Their craigels (half croissant half bagel) are all the hype right now on socials so obviously had to check them out! Located inside the St Lawrence market, this has been a staple here for a long time. The line up is long but moves quickly. You're waiting longer for your food than to order your food. Got their craigel with lox and herb and garlic cream cheese. Though the craigel was great, not too dense, but still had some airy flakiness to it. Filling was good and overall thought it was a great sandwich to have. A must get when visiting the St Lawrence market! read more

Was at St. Lawrence Market to grab a few things and hadn't had a bagel in awhile, so decided to stop by to grab a couple to take home to use for breakfast the next day. Saw that they had Craigels (bagels made with croissant pastry), so got 2 of the Cheese ones. There were a few people in line ahead of me, but the staff were pretty good with taking orders and getting them out. Cashier was friendly and polite. The Craigels were exactly what you would think they tasted like -- a little flaky on the outside, soft inside, and buttery. read more

St. Urbain Bagel Bakery - Cheese Craigel - Bagels Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place always has a line! It's tucked at the south east corner of St Lawrence market with a pretty speedy ordering system but slow to actually prepare. St. Urbain's location in the market is surrounded by a bunch of different vendors like a sandwich place, a butcher and wine store with a fish stall near by, allow you to feel fully immersed in the soul of the market, surrounded by all the different aromas. I got a BELT (bacon, egg, lettuce, tomato) on a cheese Craigle (croissant-bagel). This might have changed my brain chemistry. It was spectacular! The Veggies inside are fresh, the egg was cooked and seasoned perfectly and the bacon was the perfect thickness, crispy/softness, and taste. But the bun stole the show. It was flakey and buttery inside like a croissant. The outside has everything bagel seasoning and cheese baked on top. Delicious. Although the hefty price for a sandwich, I would buy this over and over again. read more

I stopped by for breakfast as I was intrigued by their almond cragle. The cragle was a hybrid marriage between a croissant and a bagel. My first bite found the cragle to be soft and flaky. The almond flavor jumped out and was quite delicious with the powdered sugar and almond slices. I even came back my last day in Toronto to take a couple home for the family to try. When I visited there was no line and service was fast and friendly. read more

Came on a Friday at noon. There was a long line and it looked understaffed. However you could tell the staff were hard working. Unfortunately I had to wait around 20min for my bagel sandwich. The sandwich itself was good, fresh ingredients and didn't skimp on the amount. The bagel itself was dense (as is a Montreal bagel), but very tender and not rubbery. If it's your first time trying out a Montreal bagel I highly recommend, but try to avoid rush hours. read more

Their bagel is soft and chewy, but did not like the spread i ordered. Line is always long but servers are very quick and friendly read more

Passed by St.Urbain for a lovely Sunday morning breakfast. We had the bagels with cream cheese and the cream cheese and lox sandwich. Both were excellent! The bagels here are baked in a wood fired oven and taste real crisp and fresh. read more

Had a great bagel sandwich at St Lawrence Market. St Urbain bagel had a location in the market and sells Montreal style bagels (not sure exactly what that is). Was pretty excited about their upgrade bagels/buns . Got a Lox with jalapeño cream cheese on a challah bun. The challah was soft and delicious and the jalapeño cream cheese with a great kick. Friendly staff and service . The market is bustling with activity and energy .#bagels #sandwiches read more

Tried the stuffed spinach and feta bagel at St Urbain Bagel bakery in St. Lawrence Market. It was fine -- warm, a bit chewy, and had a decent amount of filling, though the feta could've been more flavorful. The market was packed and seating was tricky, but the market vibe made it worth a quick stop. Nothing mind-blowing, just okay. read more

If you're visiting Toronto prepare some bagelicious banter and make your way over to the St Lawrence market. It already has some amazing stops here (and is an attraction in itself) but this bagel place is everything. I got the "cragel with cheddar cheese+topped with sesame", the wonderful outcome of a croissant and bagel who decided they were ready to make a family together, highly recommend :) read more

As I was exploring the different vendors inside the St Lawrence Market, I ran across this bagel shop and couldn't resist trying their pumpernickel bagel with the lox spread. Man it was even better than the bagels I got from New Jersey. I was upset I hadn't gotten more. The lox spread was creamy and flavorful. Service was fairly quick, you select your bagels, spreads and veggies if requested. They also have a criagel which is a cross of a bagel and croissant. Definitely worth a visit read more

Another place in St Lawrence Market that was highly recommended is St Urbain for their Montreal style bagels. Like Anthony Bourdain said, you can't compare NY style and Montreal style bagels. They are like comparing apples to oranges. I had an everything bagel w/ lox. You can choose your toppings, but I chose the traditional plain cream cheese, tomatoes, red onion and capers. The combo was very good. The bagel had a nice chew, but was slightly sweet bc of the boiling in honey water. The only downsides were I was expecting more lox, and the top of the bagel to be completely covered w/ "everything". There was a long line and it took a while to fill the order based on the number of workers. Nonetheless, the staff was friendly & warm. I would definitely return to try other bagel combinations. Montreal bagels are very good, and a nice contrast to what we eat in the US. read more

Having supported the St Urbain bagel location on Bathurst north of Steeles for many years, we were distressed to see they had closed down. Our nearest location was therefore the Bathurst/Lawrence location and we duly drove to the location to collect 4 dozen bagels for a family cottage weekend over Thanksgiving weekend. To our real disappointment, the bagels bore almost no relationship to the product we had been used to getting at the Bathurst/Steeles location. I can only assume that this location is franchised or that it is under new management as the bagels were terrible. They were dry, crumbly and poorly formed. They fell apart when cut for toasting and certainly did not taste as we had become used to. Safe to say we will not be supporting this operation again, a very disappointing purchase.

Montreal bagels or New York bagels?? I really am not sure now! I've never had a montreal style bagel before this day, and I will say I am genuinely so impressed. To be honest, I didn't expect much from it since even most of the NY bagels I've tried have been quite underwhelming. So, when I heard that these were supposed to be denser but sweeter versions of those I wasn't too overly excited. However, I am so happy to say that my expectations were far exceeded. Located inside St. Lawrence market, there was already a line of people outside the section either ordering or waiting to pick up their bagels. I decided to get the egg salad + veggies on an onion bagel. I really appreciated how they let you add veggies since most spots don't do that! The bagel came out relatively quickly and was packed with delicious egg salad and the variety of veggies. The standout was definitely the bagel itself though; the texture was perfect! Chewy in the middle with a hint of sweetness that made it so delicious. The onion bits on the outside were also delicious and overall it made for such a good sandwich. I am already missing this bagel so much. Being from the US I now need to find a spot that makes something similar! read more

Located at the top floor of St. Lawrence Market towards the back if you enter from front street. Had the everything bagel with plain cream cheese and the hazelnut chocolate craigel. Both were delicious. Montreal-style bagel was smaller than normal New York bagels but dense and sweet. The craigel was dense and had a lot of chocolate, but now a lot of hazelnut flavor. Come in the morning. We came in the late afternoon and they were out of craigels and most items. read more

Great bagels! I came at an off hour during the afternoon so service was extremely fast, however they had run out of some of the popular options by that time, so unfortunately I wasn't able to get my favorite everything bagel. There are plenty of customization options to choose from so you can get your bagel just how you like it. Being my first time visiting St Lawrence Market, it was nice being able to eat my bagel while walking around the market and browsing other store fronts. St Urbain Bagel is conveniently located by one of the exits of the market so I can see how it'd be very easy to get in and out with a bagel. read more

Although their bagels looked delicious, I couldn't resist their almond "Craigel" (a croissant bagel that actually is just a round croissant). Filled with an almond paste like filling, it was so intensely almondy, that it will live in my memory as one of the best I've had. We also got the chocolate hazelnut Nutella one which didn't have as much Nutella/hazelnut flavor. So go for the almond, and maybe also a bagel! read more

I came in early Saturday around 9 and there was a line. The wait was 5-10 minutes and most people got a bag of bagel to go. I had the original Montreal bagel and wanted to try if there was any difference - there is. I got the lox sandwich with everything on it, and it was a great sandwich. The bagel was very dense and filling with lots of flavors. I was disappointed the bagel wasn't baked in a brick oven and it does make slight flavor difference. There are either seats or table near by for people to enjoy their goodies at the market. The service was fast and efficient. read more

Pro-tip: If you like a chewy bagel with a crispy shell, this isn't the bagel for you. Instead, try their other baked goods. Highlights: The star was definitely the chocolate Nutella croissant because it had good lamination giving it a crispy outer and chewy inner. Lowlights: There was quite a long line so I think it really raised my expectations, but the bagel really fell short. The bagel itself was dense and not fluffy or chewy which is the type of bagel I enjoy. The mini cinnamon roll is also nothing to write home about. read more

Seems to be a consistent spot in the back of the market. We found the market overwhelming with choices but we just needed a small snack and figured this was a good choice. Well for the most part, the bagels looked small.. and they were but the tuna salad was delish. The weird part was that the credit card machine broke after I took it out.. this young guy wouldn't give us our 1 bagel until he shut it off and back on again to check if the purchase went through.. the line was piling up...it was annoying to hold us hostage over $8.. the charge did go through for anyone wondering. read more

Visited St. Lawrence Market for the first time simply because I wanted to try St. Urbain Bagel! I saw so many videos online raving about their smoked salmon bagel sandwiches, and I decided to give it a try! I got my sandwich with a craigel (croissant + bagel) instead of the regular bagels, but all options looked so good. This is one of the best sandwiches I've had in Toronto, and I'm looking forward to try it again! Good portion, super fresh ingredients, and worth the price! I'm excited to try their other baked goods the next time I visit! read more

I love Montreal bagels (and I'm from NYC so it's hard to get that style at home) - to pint where every time we are in Montreal, we head straight for St. Viateur to grab a dozen for when we are there - and then head to the airport with a suitcase full of bagels in freezer bags. The bagels here are solid - they don't quite have the same shell as St. Viatuer or Fairmount but it will satisfy a craving. Prices are very reasonable at $1.25 a bagel and $12.50 for a dozen. Worth a stop if you are at St. Lawrence! read more

Fantastic Bagels. if you go early, they are still making them, you can watch them take them out of the oven on those long paddle like boards, just like they did 70 years ago i'm sure. As a bonus for going early is that they are absolutely unreal when they are warm out of that incredible wood oven. there are few things better than fresh baked bagels or bread. I love that the bagels are not huge and bread like, like most of the bagels in this city, they are light, with just the perfect density and are so flavorful that, they are perfect with just butter. these are proper, true bagels, best in the city. read more

These Montreal style bagels are right in St. Lawrence's market. We got the everything bagel with lox. The bagel also came with tomatoes and cucumbers, as well as onions and capers. It was a very well balanced and refreshing breakfast sandwich. I love that it was toasted nicely, but the fresh and crispiness of the vegetables balanced out the creaminess of the lox. we got our food pretty quickly and didn't have to wait too long! read more

My husband recommended we come here for the bagels. Described as a touch sweeter and flatter than an NYC bagel, they definitely hit those marks for me. I got the everything bagel, which whoa! That flavor was fantastic. And all over the bagel instead of just on the top. The cream cheese was delightful too. My husband got a cinnamon roll which was so amazing. Like a cross between a cinnamon roll and a croissant. I'd be a regular if I lived here for sure. read more

I have been going to this location for a long long time. Used to be the best place to buy Montreal bagels in Toronto. Hidden in the back corner of St Lawrence market. I bought some bagels to enjoy and when I got to them today noticed that they were grossly undersized and a tough to eat. The size really bothered me but the positive was that you used extremely less cream cheese on each bagel. I wish this was an isolated incident but all 6 of my bagels were extremely small. Which meant that they deliberately gave me this size thinking I wouldn't notice or this is their new size. Prices didn't go down for these mini bagels. Personally, I will be boycotting this location until they get back to a much bigger size. As a former resident of Montreal, I am very disappointed. read more

My cab driver recommended I check out St. Lawrence Market when visiting Toronto. While at the market and needing a bite to eat I decided to go to Urbain Bagel Bakery. I was warmly welcomed by the staff who were very nice. The cashier was friendly, but I wish she knew the menu a bit better. For example, she didn't know if they were out of certain bagels. Though, one of the chefs were nice. I decided to get an everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese. Unfortunately, they were out of vegetable cream cheese so they ended up just putting some to stir on my bagel. When I finally got my bagel, it was very thin, but good. I liked the fluffiness of the inside and the crispy outside. Unfortunately, I wish the seeds of the everything bagel went all over the bagel, not just the outside. My main concerns were that the bagels were a bit small and it really would take two to fill you up. Also, the tomato they gave me did not taste very fresh. Altogether, I had a nice, tasty bagel from Urbain Bagel Bakery! read more

These are honestly the best bagels outside of Montreal. Grab a dozen mixed (sesame and poppyseed are still warm from the oven) Get your plastic bag and twist tie and freeze for when your in the mood for that awesome dense, just a touch of sweet, Montreal bagel. Keep one out to munch on while you make your way through the market. Oh and their cream cheeses are amazing as well. I could go on and on about all the best bagel toppings but I'm sure you're good to go. read more

St. Urbain Bagel Bakery sits in the back of St. Lawrence Market, turning out bagels by the thousands from their large wood burning brick oven. The original bakery is in Montreal, where the Yiddish "beygal," or 'ring' arrived in the early 1900's with immigrants from eastern Europe. Thirty years after opening its first shop on Rue St. Urbain, a member of the family took their success down the road to Toronto. It has remained this city's most beloved bagel since then. How else account for their continuing popularity over nearly a century. These 'bracelets' tend to be smaller, more dense and sweeter than the New York style bagel. The secret is in mixing honey with the boiling water. New York, with its tradition of very soft water, did not add sweeteners to the boil, and ended up with a larger, doughier product. Both are excellent. We were in the market looking for an interesting lunch, and found it here. I ordered a 'flatz' (flat bagel) with everything on it (sesame, onion, poppy seed and salt), a smear of butter and a few slices of swiss cheese. In addition, I was attracted to their knishes, and went with two potato/mushroom latticed pastries. Both were not what I was accustomed to, but, great nonetheless. I loved them like lost cousins now found. The density of the uber fresh flatz required more chewing, but that brought out all the flavors of the toppings and the underlying sweetness of the dough. It was a complex taste that put all that mastication to good use as each element disclosed itself on my tongue. The knishes were lighter than my mother made, with a pastry shell and well baked with mashed potato, mushroom and spices. St. Urbain Bagels was the perfect stop in the international bizarre that is the St. Lawrence Market. We enjoyed a tasty light meal, while connecting with my extended cultural/religious family. My grandfather may have landed in New York, but he was no different than his brethren who found their hopes and dreams and bagels in Toronto. read more

My bagel sammich was excellent. Wandering St. Lawrence Market, reading reviews for various sandwich vendors, interviewing people mid-munch, and getting mildly put off by reviews for the tourist trap places, I wandered over to St. Urbain Bagel. Living across the street from the bagel place, you'd think I was tired of bagels by now. But after 2 loops around the market I kept getting drawn in by their Award Winner sign. And thought wtf I'm in Canada and need to try their bagels. It didn't disappoint. The bagel was super easy to bite through as a sandwich without losing the whole friggin innards like many bagel places we all know. I got the everything bagel, toasted, with smoked lox, veggies, chive cream cheese. So delish. Nuff said. I also took some chocolate rugalach for the road. read more
