"While noses are generally turned northward to Mile End for Montreal bagels, it’s easy to forget there are choice Ashkenazi breads found elsewhere. Run by Isa Lora Messier and Émilie Sirois, this spot has had several successful years of good coffee and sandwiches, in addition to scrumptious brunches." - Kaitlyn McInnis, Eater Staff

Lovely fresh bagels in the heart of Verdun. Came in with low expectations but left very happy and satisfied, will definitely be a returning customer. The service was extremely quick, we got our food within 5 minutes of ordering. We had the smoked salmon with cream cheese capers and red onion bagel, my favorite. We so had a an egg bagel with tomato cheese lettuce and mayo. Cappuccino was good as well.

It is a very popular spot, which doesn’t surprise me because the food was delicious. I got the pesto Benedict and it was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent, the staff was super nice, and we got our food very fast after ordering. My only ick is where we were seated. The table is way too low compared to the bench that it made it a bit uncomfortable to eat.

love this place been coming here weekly for about a year now. Recently I have noticed their “quick menu” of just the real simpler ones has gotten a bit pricier. Didnt bother me too much as I notice them constantly renovating the place. What bothered me in the noticeable portion cuts as well. My BLT last week was weak and small, compared to the usual spilling of bacon. A different morning my bacon egg and cheese lacked as well. From a near 10-15% price increase with a cut in portions I’ll just be coming in less often.

Delicious bagels. I visited your location today. Your superb customer service, along with a delightful menu of great selections, is to be highly recommended to anyone who visits Montreal. Thank you for making this beloved and widely recognized cultural symbol - the bagels that are enjoyed by people of all backgrounds around the world. I love the idea of using dry noodles as the stir sticks.💚

Came in for a quick bagel and hashbrown. Got the egg, bacon and cheese on a sesame bagel. The bagel was great, had a good chewy texture with lots of sesame seeds. The hashbrown was good. The patio is covered and very cozy. They also have indoor seating. There are indoor seats by the window that are really cool. There were a lot of fun pictures and artwork scattered throughout the restaurant. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Would recommend!

First time here, me and my husband are very satisfied. The food is good, the atmosphere calm and cozy, you can feel the good vibes. The service kind, smiley and fast. The thing that I love the most is that is animal friendly, so you can seat outside and enjoy your meal with your lil friend 😊❤️ This morning we chose a sweet breakfast with a soft and buttery choco cookie, a nice almond cappuccino, a choco banana french toast and an amazing sweet mountain of fresh fruits. You could ask a gluten free or a vegan option. Thank you! We will come back soon to try other specialties!

Went here on the second day of our trip to Montreal and had to go back every day after! This is hands down my fav cafe. The food was simple yet delicious. The bagels are made on site and were delicious. The have amazing vegetarian options which I appreciated a lot! Also, the place is gorgeous and the staff was so helpful and friendly. I can’t wait to go back!

I was not a fan of the food. The tomato soup was not good at all. It made me really sick. I had the turkey bagel and it was okay. The service was great.

Great eclectic vintage decor. Cute coffee self-service station with a choice of mugs. I always like to grab a brown pottery one. Great bagels too! I wish breakfasts were served with home potatoes, but they are fulfilling none the less. Friendly service. One of my top three breakfast places in Verdun.

What a cozy and beautiful place. Went there for a quick bagel breakfast and I wasn't disappointed. So fresh and so many options to choose from. If you get a coffee they also have a wall full of mugs and you choose your own that I found pretty cool. Super quick service you order at the cash, pay and they bring it to your table.

We were driving through Montreal after a trip to Maine and we were hungry! What should you get in Montreal, bagels of course. So, we stopped in and were surprised that this place was so interesting and cute. We ordered at the counter and sat down. Food was delivered to us. I had a soup and bagel with butter toasted, and my husband had an open-faced bagel, I believe the Italian. It was so good. I loved the soup and bagel. Warm, cozy, on a cool day. I would want to go back to try out their drinks next time. They did have some baked goods too.

Deanna D.

Love these bagels. They were really nice, really fresh and enjoyable. I would definitely consider going back next time I'm in the area.

Just went there for breakfast this morning as I was in Verdun staff was super sweet and welcoming nothing wrong to say about the service. Got a Poppy seed bagel with butter and Cream cheese and a plain bagel with butter cream cheese and bacon which unfortunately the bacon was way too overcooked and crispy for my taste . Also got an home made iced tea which I got really disappointed about as it's litteraly a glass of cold water with a bag of tea in it . In general a really great place for the atmosphere but unfortunately had still some disappointment.

Ruthy M.

Yelp

Wow, just wow! Everything here was amazing. My boyfriend enjoyed the hot chocolate. If you get a meal it comes with a side salad and soup. The bagel was soooo soft. You can definitely tell that the bagel is baked fresher daily. I was a little disappointed that I missed their infamous Benedict by 3 mins ! (Kitchen closes at 3pm). I definitely would like to return and try their Benedict's !!

Great BLT and soups and salads. Plan to go back whenever in the neighbourhood. Service people were super nice. .

Perhaps I'm being too harsh with three stars for Bagel St-Lo: the space reminds me of a 90s neighbourhood cafe and the staff were downright the sweetest (and honestly really patient when I walked clearly not knowing what I was in for). I think where I can't justify a higher rating is in the product: these are almost New York style bagels (this is Verdun, ya'll!). On top of that, selection is limited: sesame, poppy, plain and cheese, and I found the taste factor just OK. What kinda got me bummed out was the cheese bagel: it's legit just a plain bagel with a piece of cheese on top and significantly pricier than the other options. That's not a cheese bagel, people! Onto the more positive: when I visited on Saturday they were also selling $15 giant boxes of past-prime veg that local shops were passing. I got SO much good food for $15! This also definitely added to the nice community vibes as it shows they're committed to reducing waste. I also picked up their house cream cheese which is pretty good but wayyyyy too expensive. Honestly, I dig this place enough that I'll probably be back, but not really for the product, much more for the nice staff and community vibes.

Excellent Montréal style bagels with lovely service and fantastic atmosphere. As a Melbournian, my standards for coffee are high and this place definitely meet them. Love that the meals are served with fresh fruit. Would definitely recommend.

*COVID-19 EDITION* A M B I A N C E Don't forgot to wear your mask inside! Adorable coffee and bagel shop located in Verdun! Amazing spot to grab a latte then walk down Wellington! C L E A N L I N E S S Pretty good! I have no complaints! O V E R A L L Q U A L I T Y These bagels are wonderful! Growing up on St. Visitor's bagels I've been spoiled, but these are a close second for me. My partner likes these more! The bagels are super tasty and less dense than others. They also have custom homemade cream cheese! I've tried the "Leak and Bacon" cream cheese and it's AH-MAZING. I also tried the "Sun-dried tomatoes & Bacon" but it exploded in my white bag and stained the bag, tasted great but mixed feelings over the whole experience. My sister tried the "Jalapeno" cream cheese and I had a bite and it wasn't too hot which is nice! I can't do spicy food but this was tasty! They make good coffee and have different vegan and cow milk options. When ordering breakfast, my partner believes that they serve an inacceptable amount of beans! We want more beans! C O S T Pretty standard brunch costs! But the bagels are wonderful and quite inexpensive! Highly recommend! W A I T T I M E S If you're just coming for bagels or coffee the wait is very quick! However, if you want to sit down and order breakfast and lunch there is a short wait! P A R K I N G & L O C A T I O N On Verdun and Argyle. Really close to the Wellington walkway in Verdun. The street is less busy than Wellington, but still has some cute shops. There's paid parking on the street and free parking on side streets!

A great place to go to have a relaxing brunch in a cozy cafe and pick up bagels for the week before you leave. The brunch menu is yummy and the ambience is just right - a bit of bustling but still nice and cozy. The bagels are a bit on the denser side, so they are really great when toasted - it will be crunchy on the outside and chewy in the inside. Also, if you want to pick up meals from the store freezer, I recommend the lasagna! Tastes homemade.

Amber H.

Yelp

First time checking out bagel st-low and it was nice. The place was packed for a Monday afternoon inside and out so it had to be good. Got the blt which was really good and crispy bacon just how I like it :) The salad is nice that comes with it but should be more as the bagel isn't very filling. Will be back for the blueberry cream cheese and bagels :)

Howie B.

Yelp

Excellent bagels that are firm and chewy. Nice taste too. Each bagel looks hand made.

I really loved this place. Situated about 15 minutes outside of Montreal in a little bustling hipster ish neighborhood, this bagel / coffee joint is perfect. Indoor and outdoor seating, a big couch, wonderful aroma of coffee, and a Moroccan vibe with skinny love playing on the speakers. We had a bagel with smoked salmon and onion, with a coffee for $9. Now, keep in mind this review is coming from a Jew who grew up on New York bagel and lox sandwiches... But it still blew my socks off. The bagel had a nice crunch but was still chewy on the inside. The onions sliced so thin that you just could taste them without overpowering. And the price point? Hard to beat. I would go back in a heartbeat. The coffee was pretty delicious as well. The ambiance was perfection to me-- cozy, artesianal but inviting, staff were engaging but let you live your life. Totally wonderful spot, highly recommended!!

Terrific bagels. Milkshake best I have had in ages. Fresh squeezed orange juice. Nice outside area, friendly staff. Homemade jam itself worth the trip

Donald S.

Yelp

Thanks. The food is simple, fresh and tasty. And is creatively dominated by the bagel which their offerings profess as their ubiquitous, ever-present ingredient, in an amazing variety of choices. The coffee is self-service and starts with your choice of any available mug you fancy from those displayed from their very own niches along the wall. Once you choose one, you're off on your own to help yourself to pour your selection from the various brewing urns currently competing for your heart. And you can return for another cup at your pleasure! Finally the place is staffed with an attractive group of young waitresses who warm your heart with a smile and a distinctively warm politesse as they take your food order and shortly return with it, to warmly fulfill your pleasure. What more could you possibly ask for! You'll be so glad you came!! those available

Really like this spot located a bit far from Montreal's city center. If I didn't think that it was a bit pricey for the type food/location I would give it a 4 stars easy. Service comes with smile and people seemed to be happy to work here which I love! You should try one of their breakfast/brunch or even just a bagel. Drinks are nice too but again pricey for what it is.. Sorry I'm European so used to not paying dumb prices for simple food! I would probably stop there again when I work nearby and already recommended it to friends in Montreal.

lattes were extremely bitter croutons too crunchy overpriced for quality , saw the hash browns are storebought period

Finally I don't have to haul my ass over to Mile End anymore to buy fresh bagels! I just found this place while walking back home from the library. It already has the hum of a very busy place and it's only been open for a little over a month. I saw breakfast specials posted on the hanging chalkboard, all the furniture is retro-used diner stuff, like the grommeted chairs and formica tables and practically every seat was taken up. I didn't sit down for a proper breakfast or brunch but I plan to soon since the plates I did see people noshing off of looked great. Instead I picked up a half-dozen fresh-and-still-warm sesame bagels on the go. While St.Viateur bagels are a perfect 10 IMHO, I'd give these bagels a very respectable 7.5. They're fresh, warm and found in your own neighbourhood. I'm sold.

Ok so I haven't been here in about a month, but after this week's local Yelp about good cafés to check out I was shocked St Lo wasn't on the list! So i checked their Yelp page and was shocked again to note that every single review omitted to mention my favorite aspect of this place: IT'S DOG FRIENDLY!! That's right! Bring ur bestest 4 legged pal with you no problemo! They're also kid friendly: they have a nice lil bucket of old skool toys for ur kiddos to play with while u sip ur favorite beverage and munch on one of their amazing bagels. They also have a cute lil back terrace (and front terrace btw) in the summer. The decoration is worth mentioning too because it's very eye-pleasing and they often have local artists work on display/for sale. This place definitely shoulda made it on this week's local yelp, I don't know how it was missed!

Lauren S.

Yelp

I hadn't come to this place in years, mostly because the space was so limited that there was always a huge lineup... but im happy to see that they expanded ! We were seated right away since now they have tons of tables inside and on the terrace :) their coffee is self serve which I love, and its some of the best coffee I ever had! I had the omelette de Phil, a breakfast bagel loaded with eggs and meat. It was pretty good, the bagel was soft and fresh. I tried my partner's jambon benedictine, and that was incredible! Ham was perfectly cooked, eggs and sauce were delicious, and once again the bagel was so soft and fresh ! Would recommend this place in a heartbeat! You can buy their bagels to go as well, same with their coffee beans.

The food here is delicious! Fruit and bagels are always fresh. It is a little expensive, but the lunch menu is reasonable and comes with soup and a salad. The coffee is good and there's a station where you can fill your own which means you never go without waiting for a waiter or waitress! I wish the breakfasts came with potatoes, the only potato option is a commercial hashbrown, but that is a small complaint. Atmosphere is busy and chic, they have mismatched mugs on display and a nice little nook by the window. Service is good and the staff are never idle.

Jeff S.

Yelp

This won't be a full on review, but more like a "cool things to note type of post". So here goes - in no particular order; They get their fresh fruit, literally fresh from a nearby market shop, so it's not the typical hit or miss garnish you get at some other breakfast spots i.e. the fruit is all edible, not just a tip of the watermelon. The pineapple was so good it seemed marinated or sun dried. You get the gist of it. They make their coffee stir sticks out of uncooked pasta (Fettuccini, I think from the thickness). What a great and novel idea or at least to me, since I don't recall seeing that elsewhere. Their poached eggs are "eggcellent" and inspired a go-at-home, after watching how to videos. Their Hollandaise sauce is quite rich and subtly unique. More depth of flavour. Must taste again. Finally they have several shelves of mugs for drink-in coffee. The neat thing is that they are all pretty unique, some are from foreign places, various sizes and shapes and many are donated. This all wraps into more proof that St. Lo is one of those truly local and homey feeling places.

Sebastian D.

Yelp

The coffee is awesome, and the brunch plates are delicious. Service is decent and attentive. The potatoes, however, don't match up with the food. It was one cold piece of freezer-burned hash brown. On two consecutive visits. This place is great though. All the other food is delicious (especially the pesto Beni) and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Just don't get the hash brown until they fix it.

Colin F.

Yelp

Love the bagels at this place. No need to head into town for a great bagel or brunch on the weekends. Tip: get the takeout smoked meat bagel for about $6. Chilled place, people, atmosphere and very much like the fact it is independently run.

Cessalee S.

Yelp

The food was pretty good but he service was wretched! After sitting and waiting for my food for 45 minutes (a bagel sandwich) I finally asked if it would be up soon. Only to be asked repeatedly if I had even paid for the food. After presenting m receipt, the cook came and brought the food about 4 minutes later and then asked ME why the food never shows up in the kitchen as if I was responsible for their counter communication. And I wasn't the only one. I heard her speak sharply to a woman who had ordered no tomatoes. When they brought out her food with no tomatoes on the sandwich but with tomatoes on the salad, she told the woman that the check was wrong and it only said no tomatoes on her sandwich as if SHE had put in the order on the computer. The other star is because the wifi is good. I came here to do some work and thought I'd be here long enough to have a sandwich but I ended up here an hour longer than I needed to be waiting on food! Ugh!! --------- Ok, I edited to three stars. They offered me a piece of coffee cake and apologized. I'm a sucker for coffee cake.

Norma S.

Yelp

I discovered this little gem by accident. Their fresh bagel with whipped cream cheese and salmon is a favorite that I get on most visits. The service is friendly and quick. I don't usually care for restaurant coffee because in 90% of the time it is undrinkable, but here it is excellent .

Sonia C.

The best bagel in Montreal. Seriously. Big thumb up for this local verdun Cafe. Try the incontournable smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel. Cute and comfy coffee shop. Terrace for sunny days. That's all you need to know.

Dayane F.

Yelp

My new favorite brunch place around the block! I love the vintage vibe going on. If you want filtered coffee you can help yourself and choose your own mug from a miscellaneous collection. I ordered the bagel with smoked salmon, capers and poached eggs. It was so good and well prepared I even ate the fruits on the plate which I never do.

Marianne C.

Yelp

One of my favourite coffee shops in Montreal, and gives Verdun a fresh, comfortable feel. Bagels are to die for and the coffee is delectable. Great cozy space, with couches and good spacing, especially since they've expanded the shop. Perfect for breakfast or lunch, with some class and attention to detail. Would recommend :)
