We were able to come in for the breakfast special eggs, protein, bagel, hashbrowns, and I opted for salad instead. Bagels were fresh, toasted with butter, eggs were made perfectly and proteins were proteins. I feel like they have a constant flow of people. I do appreciate that you were able to go to a counter and purchase baked goods to go overall, definitely a place you should check out if you're in the area.

It's not as dense, which makes it more light and fluffy. Don't think they use honey/as much honey since Montreal bagels seem to be a bit sweeter. Will definitely be back!

Since moving back to the K-W area, I was hoping to find a really good bagel shop (ala Montreal,…read moreToronto or "Finagle a Bagel" in Boston) :) The ONLY reason that I'm not giving this amazing hole-in-the-wall place 5 stars is the limited selection. Their Sesame Seed bagels are absolutely awesome!!! This was just my first trip - next time I'll get some of the plain and poppy seed bagels. (really wish they had onion, garlic and everything bagels!!!) If you have multiple people in your household, you need to get at least a dozen. These are fresh, out of the oven within the last few hours - you're going to need to have one fresh with just a little butter while you wait for the next one to toast and get slathered in cream cheese. :) And only $6.50 for a dozen bagels?! How?! :) Simply amazing!! Going to have to show some restraint and not go there several times a week!! :) Oh, they also do whole wheat bagels - but I think she said that you need to order them in advance?

Way way way better than whole foods and believe me, I used to be a whole foods addict (but after you come to farm boy, you realize how overrated and overpriced WF is) The staff are pretty friendly here and they have a lot of items made in-house (farm boy exclusive only!) I really recommend: - the berry filled jelly mini donuts (legit the FRESHEST and softest jelly donuts I've ever had. These don't last me longer than a day) - jalapeño cheddar little bread biscuits (they're near the front - dude, they're amazing) - in house made sparkling water - a better tasting, cheaper la croix in insane flavours (the orange vanilla one tastes like a creamsicle....In sparkling) - the bagels!! Herb and cheese to be exact- nothing compares to montreal bagels...but this comes pretty damn close. - the ice cream sandwiches!!! OMG. These are it. - the house-made soup! So so so good, hearty and healthy for you. They also have a cute village juicery IN STORE. I love almost everything about this place - the only thing I've noticed is that sometimes I'm followed around/closely watched and monitored and I definitely notice it - however this is just something I unfortunately face being a minority in a very Caucasian city and I'm finally starting to pick up on it. Ugh, please stop following me...I spend almost $200 every week here. Please :(

Every time I come through Barrie, I make a pit stop to this place. As it is truly amazing…read more Their plain bagel, which is a sea salt bagel, should win an award. It has a lovey texture, chew and bite. Their sandwiches offer a wide variety of options for everyone, as a pescatarian I have a hard time choosing because of the plentiful options. Ambiance is cute and clean, good music, casual but still not somewhere you'd want to be drooling hungover. Service is quick and attentive, everyone is so nice. I love this place, if this was in Toronto I'd be 15 pounds heavier. For sure give this place a spin, get their classic plain salt bagel, sit down, and order one of their amazing sandwiches.

A little heavy on the cream cheese but it was all still very good, I appreciated that the mixed the capers in with the cream cheese so they didn't fall off! All the servers seemed very friendly.

I was looking for a spot to sit and study on a Friday when I came across Metropolis. The photos…read moreshowcased a beautiful, aesthetic space, and the reviews suggested it was a great place to work thanks to its ample designated laptop seating, plentiful outlets, free Wi-Fi, and lack of time limits. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised by the abundance of free parking behind the café, with direct access to the entrance. Even at 10 a.m. on a Friday, it was busy. The café has clearly designated laptop seating, while other tables are marked as laptop-free zones. I thought this was a fair system as it creates space for everyone, whether you're studying or working like I was, or simply meeting friends for a casual catch-up. I also noticed that groups of three or more are welcome to sit anywhere, which is a nice touch. Between 4 and 6 p.m., laptops are also permitted throughout the café. Thankfully, despite the crowd, my sister and I managed to find two neighboring seats in the laptop section. These areas consist of large communal tables with plenty of outlets. While everyone sits together, people generally keep to themselves, making it a productive environment. That said, the café can get quite loud due to the constant flow of customers, conversations, and the occasional work call. I couldn't resist ordering quite a bit of food to fuel my study session. First was the pesto sandwich (which contains walnuts). It was incredibly flavorful and cheesy, and I was pleasantly surprised by how hot it was served and it even had a satisfying cheese pull. For my drink, I ordered an iced caramel latte. It wasn't quite bold enough for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. I simply prefer a stronger coffee flavor. For dessert, I tried the pistachio cookie. Aside from the centre, which contained plenty of crushed pistachios, I didn't find it particularly pistachio-forward. It tasted more like a chocolate chip cookie with white and milk chocolate pieces. I also sampled some of my sister's order, including the chicken Caesar wrap, which I would absolutely order next time. The iced strawberry matcha, however, was also lacking in flavor. The standout dessert was definitely the cinnamon bun. It was massive, perfectly made, and something I'd recommend over the cookie any day. Oh, and both the sandwich and wrap came with Lay's chips, which turned out to be a surprisingly enjoyable pairing. I also want to mention how clean the café was despite the heavy foot traffic. During my several-hour stay, I constantly saw staff wiping down tables, clearing dishes, and tucking chairs back in. The washrooms were also clean, had a good number of stalls, and were well maintained. I especially appreciated that they provided paper towels instead of air dryers. Overall, Metropolis is an excellent place to spend a few hours studying or working. The thoughtful laptop-friendly setup, abundant outlets, free parking, and welcoming atmosphere make it easy to settle in. While a couple of the drinks and desserts fell a bit short on flavor, the sandwiches, wraps, and cinnamon bun more than made up for it. I'd definitely return, both for another productive work session and to grab that chicken Caesar wrap again.

Old Bagel House is a hidden gem and a true neighborhood staple. I love places where you can just…read moregrab a really good breakfast and go -- and this one nails that vibe perfectly. It has a traditional, homemade feel that makes it stand out from chain spots. The bagel breakfasts and knishes are incredibly satisfying -- fresh, hearty, and full of flavor. It's the kind of spot that quietly becomes part of your routine. If they ever added an espresso machine, it would take things to the next level, but even as it stands, this place is one of my all-time favourites. Highly recommend it if you're in the area and want something authentic and quick.

Popped by on Sunday to grab a bagel for breakfast and I am so impressed with this establishment…read more 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.

Bagels on Fire located along Queen St. W. near Vanauley St. (near Spadina Ave!) serves up some…read moretasty Montreal-style bagels in the city. This particular bagel chain has 4 different locations within the city where their menu offers bagels to go, bagels with spreads, salads, cream cheese tubs, as well as deli bagel and classic bagel sandwiches. The bagels are made fresh in the store daily. I've been to this particular location many times to pick up bagels to go where I often get half a dozen. The bagels don't come cut so I usually cut them when I get home and place them in the freezer until I'm ready to eat them (pop in the toaster!). The bagels have a slight chew to them and my favourite is the sesame bagel. Service is always friendly and there is a wide selection of bagels to choose from. The place is casual and there are a few tables for you to enjoy your bagel sandwiches, however, this location is more of a grab and go kind of place. Overall, I enjoy coming to Bagels on Fire and definitely will be returning if I'm in need of more Montreal-style bagels in the city!
