Bagels on Greene

Such a nostalgic spot for me for many reasons. I used to work in the area and also went to school at Dawson so Bagels Greene was nearby. It was always my go to lunch spot! They offer a cafeteria like style or counter style food. There's so many options and lot of fresh items as well as serve yourself coffee. I ordered the salmon lox bagel and it was stacked. I like to get capers in my bagel for a bit of saltiness umami. The bagel itself was delicious and the seasoning on it was good. They were generous with the smoked salmon so I appreciated that. Bagels Greene, don't ever change or move!!

Bagels on the Green not only serves the most amazing bagels (the sesame ones are my favorite!) but also offers an incredible selection of prepared foods. One of my top picks is the Veggie Butter Chicken — it’s absolutely delicious, and you’ll be craving it after just one bite. If I lived closer, I’d be here every day! Thankfully I had some friends recently visit who were able to bring back a plethora of treats. You won’t find better-tasting bagels or a more tempting selection of prepared dishes anywhere. Highly recommend!!! PS: They offer a selection of Gluten Free foods.

Love this place! Smoked salmon bagel is absolutely divine here! Eat it outside—so nice place for looking for a city life

I walked 25 minutes to this Bagel place. It’s worthy! The servers were so genuinely happy. It was contagious. The bagels and sandwich were great and at good price. The salad, I should have order the combo special. By weight for one item in medium size, costs $12, a bit pricy. Overall, love it.

Honestly, the coffee is excellent and the bagels are really very good. However, the customer experience was seriously affected by the fact that an employee was mopping right next to us while we were eating, with a very unpleasant smell. The odor was frankly disgusting and completely inappropriate in a space where customers are eating. Customer service was not good.

We were wanting some good bagels close by, and Bagels on Greene was exactly what we wanted. Great taste, helpful staff, wonderful selection - thank you so much! To begin with we were a little overwhelmed by the selection - but in a really good way. We easily figured out how to order, but we wanted so much more than we could eat at once! We came for bagels, which we easily ordered and loved, and we also tried one of the great empanadas - but there was all the types of knishes, and the salads, and the desserts, and the other bagels & sandwiches - and the smell of the hot dishes... we could have spent our whole vacation eating here! The toasted bagels had a great texture with a lot of toppings all around them (I'm not used to them on the bottom, which made these better). The spreads and sandwich ingredients paired beautifully, and the extra items just added more to the meal. It was a great meal and we can see why Montreal bagels are so renowned.

This place is across from my work and it's awesome to be able to get a hearty and healthy meal for a reasonable price. They are always friendly and there are a mind boggling amount of options. The samosas are quite good. Mango salad in incredible.

a GREAT breakfast spot, i highly highly recommend stopping here for the lox bagel. it was so good and the bagel was warm and fresh. i also had the potato knish which was so yummy, nice smooth potato purée with a delicious onion flavour encased in dough. would love to go back and try some of the sweets.

Fantastic bagels!!! Great selection to choose from. The bagel sandwiches are amazing. The ingredients are so fresh. Very nice staff too. Great to order online for quick pickup.

They had some pretty decent gluten free grilled chicken panini. Their took long in making the panini but overall their customer service was pretty good.

A neighbourhood eatery to have a sandwich and take out bagels. Mostly self service. Street parking, but not easily found.

the cashier taking our order at the front was very sweet and they have a large selection of items! service was quick but i ordered a latte at the coffee bar and the young ginger barista was crazy rude. she had a super bad attitude & rolled her eyes and acted annoyed when i ordered a latte LOL. she was disgusted with the next customer too who didn't even order, just picked out a premade drink. hope her day gets better. also the latte was 90% milk. food was pretty good no complaints. overall the experience was mid.

I am from NYC and my preference is for the NYC bagel style. That said, when in Montreal, I eat Montreal bagels. I have been to the two famous bagel bakeries and had their bagels straight from the oven. I have been to several others as well. Bagels on Greene is the best that I have tasted of the Montreal variety and is a worthy alternative of a good NYC bagel. The dough is dense and baked to crisp crust perfectly. There is subtle sweetness from the Montreal honey water and a very subtle spice that has been added as well. I have had bagels here several times and I highly recommend them especially if you come from NYC.

Location: Down on Ste. Catherine near Greene. Street parking is available but metered. The place: It reminds me of a cafeteria. Pretty average with different counters and some tables (outside as well). The goods: I only had a knish and a spring roll. I found both to be ordinary and lacking in flavour, and the spring roll was very, very oily so I only had one bite before tossing it. I can't speak for the bagels so may give those a try. Service: Good - the clerk was friendly and so was the cashier. Price point: very affordable.

Yes, yes, I know the most highly reviewed bagel spot in Montreal is St. Vincent. Sure, I could've gone there and waited in line... but I could also go somewhere a little more under-the-radar and have a quiet Saturday morning bagel and schmear without a ton of fuss. I chose the latter. Bagels on Greene is a quaint little marche/market with a vast array of baked goods, including wood-grain bagels, as well as fresh juices, coffee and corner store items. A little smattering of a lot of necessary in one's morning routine. Of of course I got a bagel! Everything toasted with cream cheese. Plus a tumeric and ginger juice. Simple and oh-so-delicious. Well worth the walk from my hotel.

Tried the everything bagel with salmon, capers, tomatoes, and onions. So perfect! Also got a chicken empanada which was tasty as well They have loads of juices, smoothies, espresso, coffee, and even the nespresso machine. I tried a nespresso and it was great too Highly recommend this place !

This place is a one stop shop! First off didn't know they had a Indian Buffett as soon as you walk in smells amazing In there. You can buy it pre packaged or eat right there and there. You have all the breads in the back with bagels and the corner has stuffed bagels with cheese and Danishes and all kinds of yummy desserts. The middle fridge is all the salads they have about 20 different ones to choose from. (Beets and goat cheese and pine nuts or just a beat) chicken salads with cranberry and almonds and even a delicious broccoli one with cheese and a white sauce for it. They have small medium and large containers which is helpful and little tasters out to sample. Bagels are super fresh so eat them as soon as you get in. (They sell Cream cheese there) so you don't gotta make a second stop. This place has a nice little section to sit but I would recommend taking it to go because it's big portions lol. I will Forsure be back -UPDATE- friend ate left overs of my chicken sandwich a day later and was extremely sick :( I don't know how long they have had the salad out for or made but I haven't returned do to that

Great little place. You walk in and take a number then you can purchase fresh bagels and fresh salads. Egg salad, spicy tuna, tuna salad, chicken salad among over a dozen others. They have pre made pastries, pre made bagel pizza and pre made laktas. They have a fresh pre made juices and to go giant soups. Frozen and fresh. Great spot to scoop some brunch necessities for a home party.

I was visiting from the states and stumbled across this gem of a deli. No need to go to the tourist spots for bagels, this place has a wood burning oven and cooks it the same way. They have a variety of breakfast options and is quite delicious. You enter from the right side and someone takes your order. I love Montreal bagels. They're smaller and thinner then a New York one but fits in your mouth easier. All dressed bagel with cream cheese please!

AMAZING. Best bagels and lox I've ever had (I have to be careful saying that, my mother grew up in New York...) - lots of capers and delicious smoked salmon. My wife loved her bagel and cream cheese. We also rather enjoyed our mango lassi smoothie; the cilantro one was okay. We felt a bit disappointed by the Papillon/Butterfly pastries. The bagel stuffed with cheese and topped with sugar wasn't too bad, but it was perplexing... maybe the texture confused us. A couple things: One, this is the only place I went to in Montreal where English seemed to be the primary language (we were first addressed in English, the staff spoke to each other in English...don't worry, Francophones, they spoke to customers in both.) Two, the place looks like a bagel shop (expected) with lots of deli-style sandwiches and salads (expected), but also has a lot of Indian food (not expected, but a pleasant surprise!). If I go back, I'll make sure to try it out and grab some of the many pickles and chutneys on the salad bar. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly, and the bagels are the star. I would recommend this place for a good breakfast, lunch, or snack during your time in Montreal.

I recommend their delicious and reliable, highly affordable lox bagels. Also their knishes and mango lassis are great. Such a great spot for a quick and fantastic breakfast or lunch!

I love cheese Danish! It's my favorite thing to buy at this eclectic "deli/bakery/cafe". That being said, I'm pretty picky about them. This place has these cherry cheese Danish that are AMAZING, bit strangely, they are not called "Danish" here. They call them cherry cheese "bagels", but don't let the name fool you, these horse-shoe shaped pastries of cherry cheese deliciousness are definitely classic cheese Danish! So, as I mentioned above before, this is a bit of an eclectic place. Aside from the usual assortment of baked goods, sandwiches, coffee and bottled beverages this place has an ENORMOUS selection of Vegetarian and Vegan foods. They have a hot and cold "salad bar" style buffet which is priced by weight which includes several Indian style favorites such as Butter Chicken, only, made with vegetarian mock chicken. They also have a Mexican food station with Mexican fare and sandwiches with both the standard tuna/chicken/egg salad, cold cuts, etc... as well as VEGETARIAN versions of many of these, including a very good mock-chicken salad. The place is a little low on atmosphere, probably better as a take-out place than dine in (although there is ample table space inside). Walking by you would never tell this was the Mecca of "mixed" dining (catering simultaneously to omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans), but this place definitely fits the bill!

Now they have a smoothie masala bar :) im happy about that. Still cafeteria not super clean .

I am not sure if maybe I am just used to bagels tasting completely different in the US, but my egg and cheese bagel had NO taste. I tasted the egg separately from the cheese and then the cheese and then the bagel and the only taste was burnt onions from the bagel. There was no salt, pepper, butter or other seasonings -- extremely bland. We also got a BLT and it was decent, but nothing special. The service was pretty quick, but I will not be returning for another bagel. Also, it is more of a deli with seating than a particular bakery or bagel shop.

One of my favourite places to have lunch in montreal! The staff is always very kind, the food is so good and I had the best cappuccino.

I used to buy bagels all the time, when they first opened; they were called Real Bagels, back then. One day I bought a bag of 6 bagels, paid for them; but didn't check them, until a day or two later. When I finally check the bag, I realized they had sold me 4 whole wheat and raisin and 2 other types. I had requested 6 whole wheat and raisin. I never went back.

Such a cute neighborhood place, with some real kick@ss bagels! Everyone knows about st viateur and fairmount, but this place can really hold its ground against those two bagel giants. The bagels are made fresh, and they have a wood burning stove which is key to their tasty flavour. I would say the bagels are slightly thicker in width than the standard montreal bagel, but not as thick as a new york style bagel. I actually prefer them this way, as it is more amenable to making sandwiches or cutting in half to be slathered with cream cheese, and not so thick as to be ridiculously dense and bready. These ones are nice and soft and the right amount of fluffy, with a sesame coated outer layer that is slightly sweeter than others I've tried. I bought 6 packaged to go and they came presliced which was nice, and they crisped beautifully in a toaster. Even my friends who live 3 minutes from both st viateur and fairmount said that these bagels were great. Aside from the bagels they also have sandwiches and salads and even Indian food...really showcases Montreals diversity!

Stopped here for bagel sandwiches before heading back to the US. I thought the sandwiches were just okay (good overall). Everyone else seemed to really like theirs. Mine took longer to make because they forgot. We also bought some cookies. The cookies looked freshly made, but they were not. They were pretty mediocre. We liked that we got to sit outside, and they have so many bagel varieties. I liked my jalapeno cheddar bagel, and everyone else liked how they use a lot of sesame seeds on their bagels. Good place overall.

Ordered the everything bagel and mango smoothie - so soooo good! Had jalapeno spicy chips (crunchy!), mango cilantro salad (fresh!) and macaroni and cheese as sides. First impression of the drinks were - oh must be typical sugar water...but we tried the samples and then saw everything was actually made with real fruit! We loved the mango so much! We also even bought a strawberry lemonade for the road - so refreshing! We will definitely come again. ------- Mango smoothie - 6/5 Bagel sandwich - 5/5 Strawberry lemonade - 5/5 Mango cilantro salad - 4/5 Jalapeno chips - 3/5 Macaroni and cheese - 2/5

These guys are a total lifesaver. Not only do they offer us west-centric folks a tasty and fresh bagel option, but they also have everything you could ask for from a bakery of this caliber. Some of the highlights of Bagels on Greene: -Early bird breakfast special: last I checked it was a coffee and a breakfast sandwich (on a fresh bagel with a fresh fried egg, no less) for five bucks. Timmies isn't even a contender with this deal. -An abundance of vegan sandwich and salad fare. I'm talking vegan chicken salad sandwich, general tau chik'en, beautiful meal salads, etc. They're total beasts when it comes to alternative diets. -Tasty lunch and snack options: I'm a sucker for their knishes! Sometimes when I know I'm going to have a really busy week I load up on knishes and bagels to make things run smoother on the lunch front. Bagels on Greene to the rescue! -Unpopular opinion: the quality of the bagels (wood fire) competes with the classic tourist options. I'll admit it's not exactly the same but my partner holds the opinion that the everything bagels here are the best in town. I'm in no position to argue. -They deliver! In these uncertain times, our friends on Greene will bring you a box of knishes, a dozen bagels, select grocery items and all the sandwiches you've been dreaming of to your door. Where I docked one star is for the price and the service: depending on what you're ordering it can really add up and the sandwich ladies can be real grumps (like, pretty much always). That said, I think the quality and experience generally warrants the price.

My go-to breakfast and lunch spot in Westmount! Smiles all around, very friendly and welcoming. A pleasure to both take out as well as eat-in. Wonderful exotic Asian as South American dishes. Comprehensive salad and soup bar. Always well stocked, helpful staff too!

If you're vegetarian or vegan and are in Montreal, you HAVE to eat here. They're one of the first places in Canada to offer Beyond Meat products (and the only one I've ever seen with their amazing sausage). They also have a buffet style counter where you can choose from tons of different vegan and vegetarian "meat" or veggie dishes, their Indian dishes are particularly amazing. You can even get breakfast tofu scramble or a vegan "chicken salad" on a Montreal bagel. Honestly some of the best dishes I've ever eaten all in the same place. Everything is clearly labeled, and the staff are very knowledgeable and will be more than happy to answer your questions. Forget the plant-based chain restaurants popping up to take advantage of trends, you can really tell the difference when you see the passion that goes into the food here. One of the best vegan spots in Montreal, hands down.

A friend of mine had recommended this place to me. I had gone today with my friend to try their bagels for breakfast. The place was occupied with customers on a Sunday morning at 9 am with -3 degree wind blowing on your face. Their menu options for the breakfast was great . They make their bagels fresh with a coal fired oven. You buy any stuff for breakfast , the coffee is free, well that's what the lady at the counter had said to me . You order your breakfast and pay at the other counter and tuck into your food. The food was great for the prices . I ordered a breakfast wrap, blueberry turnover , egg roll and bagel with herbs. The food was delicious . My advice for the fellow yelpers, if you are in downtown or near Westmount or feeling a pinch on your wallet , do check out this place, you will love it .

Stumbled into this place starving after a quick hike last week. Was overwhelmed by and confused by how many choices there are! From heaped salad bowls and bagels, to Indian food, chances are you'll find something tasty to eat. We found it overpriced (3 salads for $12) because they weren't generous with their portions. We also got a (small) spicy tuna sandwich on challah bread for $6. A little overpriced and not the best customer service but great flavours and would go back if in the area.

Fantastic little bakery with an amazing selection of vegetarian and vegan offerings, including a hot bar and take out options. Some of their pastries are unusual, stuffed bagels for example, but I haven't encountered anything on the menu that wasn't totally tasty thus far!

Had an amazing All-dressed bagel with lox and cream cheese. Very friendly staff and free wifi! I wish there was something like this place in my neighborhood in Wisconsin.

This place was great! We ordered a jumbo bagel (sesame/poppy) with lox which was piled high with lox, capers, onion, tomato and a bit of cream cheese. The other bagel we ordered was an onion bagel with egg salad, lettuce, swiss cheese and tomato. Both were very good but the lox bagel was the better of the two. We also got a spinach twist and feta twist which are well worth the (.75 cents)! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars (not 5) is because they have a strange ordering system. When we ordered, we tried to order 2 bagels at once and they seemed confused. So, they took one order and then another employee came to ask us for the second bagel order while we stood at the counter. It just seems like it would be easier to make it all at once and order from one employee. No worries though, it was all good.

Recently moved into the area and was excited to have a solid bagel shop in the area. While the fresh bagels are OK, I have sampled the other products - from the cookies to the Indian dishes kept lukewarm in the buffet in the front - and it's a complete disaster. Bland, overcooked, and generally disappointing. The lackluster attitude of the staff made it worse. And of course, as a Westmount establishment, everything is 25%+ more expensive than you'd find elsewhere. Skip it and get something at the grocery store counters in Alexis Nihon Plaza.

Amendment to former review: the owner read my unhappy review, contacted me & had his driver replace the old baked goods quite generously. Above & beyond the call of good Publicity. Thank you!

Hands down the best meal I have had during my stay in Montreal! Staff was friendly and hospitable, the food was superb, and the venue had a calm and welcoming energy. A lot of vegetarians and vegan options. If you head there I promise you won't be disappointed.

A very nice place to have lunch - lots of seating and a lot of variety to eat. My kids love the Indian food buffet section (you pay by weight of the plate). They also serve many different made to order bagel sandwiches (hence the name). There is a smoothie bar and coffee bar. It is a good place to bring children.

This place is a very unusual dining experience - they have different stations serving different food. There's a Mexican menu, Indian menu, breakfast menu, smoothie section, coffee section, salad bar - the list goes on. The service wasn't great and the lofty counters behind which the employees serve make it difficult for customers to get their attention. The decor is appalling and the tables were dirty and trash was littered on the floor. I tried the Indian menu; tip: grab a Thali and get what you like and then the cashier weighs it for a price. The dishes were okay (I hated the Aloo Paratha but the veggie and chicken dishes weren't bad) - my hunt for good, authentic Indian food in Montreal continues.

Second time coming here so I ought to write a review. I live pretty close so no more trips to get montreal bagels! Sesame bagel with cream cheese: everything you'd expect from a montreal bagel, with generous amounts of cream creese Thali: Choice of rice, 2 sides, naan and a snack. Great price and delicious! Small size was enough to make me full and satisfied :) Even though it's a bar-style cafe, I didn't know how to order so someone came out and explained every item + put my meal together. Super thoughtful! Five stars because you can find pretty much everything here no jokes.

I came here twice over the last few years to grab a bagel to eat before heading off to a client. They were good and we'll prepared. I would have given a solid 4 stars but I found on both visits the service to be blunt with some attitude that left me the feeling that my patronage wasn't appreciated. Price tag was decent and as other Yelpers stated, they have many things available... it's a good place but I'm docking get a star due to service I received. Ymmv

After such a long time I went by here on a Sunday morning. Since their expansion they have a lot of new things, I mean a lot. To the extent where it's a bit overwhelming and difficult to know what all your options are. I was impressed to see how many vegetarian options, bagels, salads, mock meats... vegetarian "butter chicken"... so all that to say they do more than just bagels!

This place is a hidden gem! I don't live close to here but many of my friends do and every time I sleep over at their house the next morning we always go to this place! They have a big selection for toppings of bagels and the bagels are made fast. The only downside about this place is that the beverages are pretty expensive, but apart from that this place is great!! definitely definitely recommend!

Is this real life? Is this heaven? I can imagine a stoner walking into this place and weeping for joy... it's like they took every food idea ever and brought them all together under one roof and then mixed them together to make even more ideas. My only problem with this place is that I felt guilty for not buying/indulging more. In the words of Queen Victoria: "I want it all. I want it all. I want it all. And I want it now."

Great vegan mock meats in a heated bar.... amazing for a bagel store to have.... they definitely need a vegan cream cheese to add to the mix

One of the best places I've ever eaten at! Top place in Montreal fresh food and the hospitality is worth every penny! This place was so amazing and I truly hope they continue to grow! Amazing gluten free and vegan options!

BEST BAGELS EVER!! And I say that after having eaten Fairmont Bagels. They are all boiled, then baked in a wood fired oven. The poppy seed bagels there are beyond wonderful. Just perfectly dense, chewy with only a hint of sweetness! I wish I had more room in my suitcase to bring back a few dozen of them back to Vancouver.

Undoubtedly the best bagels in town. But it's not just the bagels that I look forward to, they have an array of desserts, salads, sandwiches, a huge selection of drinks plus the service is extremely friendly. Great to hang out with friends or with family. Or even unwind alone. The location is convenient as its in the heart of Westmount. Close to the Atwater metro. Affordable & delicious. A must visit. Highly recommended!!

Can't speak the the bagels, but can speak to the salad bar options and selection of GF items they now carry. Salad bar: awesome range of options and don't let your eyes fool you with the container sizes. A quick small serving of chicken sesame salad was more than enough for a quick bite of lunch. GF items: They carry a range of packaged options, which is nice to see as really this place is designed for gluten-lovers. So having some other options is welcome by those (ahem, me) who can't indulge. The WOW baking company cookies are out of this world!

Love this place. One of my Favorites in Montreal. I'm vegan so it's a treat having a vegan buffet. Love the faux chicken dishes among others. The food is exceptionally delicious and flavorful. I love how casual it is. . And considering how expensive food is in Montreal, it's not bad.

Awesome place with awesome people! My friend and I were in town from Vermont and staggered in with pangs of hunger for lox bagels.... we were not disappointed! Best lox bagel that I've ever had and Aruna gave my friend a great start to her bday weekend! Highly recommend and will return!

Bagels on Greene is a great little local lunch place in Westmount. They have a little bit of everything, Indian buffet, pastries, bagel sandwiches, soups, salad bar and pre-made salads, even a smoothie bar. Also frozen food to go and lots of snack options if you want to pick something up. My personal favorite is the Indian food hot bar, it's good value for the price (by weight) and very fresh and tasty. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating and friendly service.

Their bagel variety is pretty good, I did not know a spicy bagel could be this good. The name is a bit misleading as an outsider like me would avoid this place if I was just looking for a quick bite or ready made meals, not knowing they offer more than bagels. Some standouts are their chicken salads (6-7 types) and ethnic foods from all types (quesadillas, empanadas, indian samosas).

I love this place. I went here for the first time a few days ago and couldn't believe how great the food is. When you first walk in there are two rows consisting of salads and a hot vegetarian bar. They had vegan and vegetarian Indian dishes that were to die for. I tried the butter chicken and the chicken strips. Both dishes prepared with seitan instead of real chicken. As a vegan enthusiast who's tried a number of fake meats, Bagels on Greene makes the absolute best. Their chicken actually tastes better than real chicken. The sauces are incredibly delicious. You can't go wrong.
