Montreal Bagels - Calgary, Alberta

*Update* I've been going for there every week or two for many months now but I got a bad batch that had a slight moldy taste. I went back and I assumed they'd give me another dozen for free but all I was given was an extra bagel for the ... dozen I bought. So, I guess I bought 13 bagels for 30 dollars. Not really impressed. Not sure if I'll be back. *End of update* Bagels are amazing. Only downside is the hours, never open past 5. Would be nice if one day a week such as Thursday they would stay open an extra couple hours for people that work during the day. Oh and sometimes they are out of bagels or barely any bagels left. Not sure if it's because they are so busy but it would be nice if they either got another oven or hired some night staff or something so they would have more stock. Because the bagels are worth driving for. Read more

Saw this bagel shop randomly from driving in the area and decided to stop by. A bit of a strange store and staff were a bit off putting as well. There is no garbage bins, public bathroom and only accept cash. Bagels were good but not super amazing to be ... coming back Read more

I don’t understand the negative reviews because anytime I’ve picked up bagels here they have been excellent, and I live 2 blocks away and have visited quite a few times. This is not the place to go for ambiance or to dine in - it has absolutely no charm, but ... that doesn’t matter to me because the bagels are great. I just swing by to pick up a dozen and enjoy for the next few days. I just pick up whatever they have available and every kind I’ve tried has been consistently yummy. Read more

AVOID THIS PLACE. RUDE WORKERS. I was looking for a bagel spot this morning and came across this place. I was frustrated by the lack of pictures of their product and what they served as it looked scarce, so I wanted to take pictures. They opened up at 9am on ... Saturday and I arrived there at 9 45am. When I arrived, they were out of poppy seed, cinnamon raisin and rainbow bagels... at 9 45am. What type of business establishment runs out in less than the 1st hour. The lady said that they were focused on making more poppy seed and rainbow when I asked her the ETA on the cinnamon raisin, so no telling when that would be available. Anyway, I decided to take pictures of the lack of offering and I hear an attitude voice saying no pictures and how it's illegal. I told her that I know the law quite well and it's not illegal for me to take pictures and then she changed her tone as there are no signs posted. She asked if it was my first time, I said yes, and I won't be back. She then responded: we don't mind if you don't come back. I said: I can tell you don't mind if I don't come back. Back to the sandwich I actually ordered (she was making it as we spoke about the pictures), it basic. Bagel itself is nothing special, it's on the smaller side of most bagels and smoked salmon is from President's choice brand. It wasn't worth the $10 honestly. You can buy all of the ingredients and make more. Because of her attitude, I am going to post the pictures that I have with her. Read more

Boiled in honey water and cooked in a wood stove, these bagels are worth the trip! We usually buy a dozen and they’re gone by the next day. My family loves these soft tasty bagels. We are glad they’re in Calgary. Tuesdays are their deal day- a dozen for $11. ... *They take cash only.* They have a cooler with drinks, cream cheese, and smoked meat. The family is hard working and always happy when you speak to them with kindness. Read more
