In my opinion these are the best bagels and twisters in the city hands down or up depending on how you see it. I came here again to feel some nostalgia and they didn't disappoint the bagels are still awesome. They have some of the best lox and cream cheese. I wish they still sold the kaisers and hot dog sticks though. But when I asked they said they don't make them anymore. That's a shame the kaisers paired up perfectly with a homemade burger. And a buttered stick was just amazing. IYKYK. Anyways this please is a gem and goldmine in the heart of the city. I will be back for another 30-40 years of patronage. I know they will be around. An easy recommendation for the best bagels in the city. And the best bagels I've ever tried in my life. 50-100 stars all the way. I can smell the freshness already.

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.

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!

It's a convenient concept whether you're looking for something quick to grab or a relaxed breakfast. The food was average overall, but everything was prepared well and tasted fresh.

It's definitely on the pricier side, but you can taste the quality in every bite. The salmon was fresh and flavorful, and I loved that it came with both raw and pickled onions ..the pickled ones had this sweet tang I could eat all day. They even sell the pickled onions to go (which I most definitely got). The crunchy chips on the side were the perfect touch. Totally recommend!

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!

Jalapeño, to sundries tomatoes, to spinach , super thin bagels (sorry I can't remember what they are called), gluten free bagels, poppy seed, rainbow, blueberry , everything bagels and the list goes on and on. The only reason why I give it 3 stars is I feel rushed when I'm in there. Maybe because I came during lunch rush and taking too long to decide/ask questions? But food wise it's pretty good.

But there is a distinct division between its bakery side and hot table. The seating area is quite spacious. You simply order and pay at the front, grab your tray and coffees and enjoy. My company ordered thrn?$4.95 breakfast which comes with two eggs, bagel and coffee. Literally you get two eggs, no starchy potatoes or any other goodies. I ordered some crispy turkey bacon for the table, and a cup of cream cheese with sliced tomato and cucumbers. For everything, 3 specials, extra bagel cream cheese and sliced veg came out to about $23.90. The bagels are delicate and fresh. Coffee is hot and good (watch those flimsy cups without lids) whixh is begging for a traditional rugelach: a delicious buttery Yiddish pastry from the old world. Overall, good service (don't believe the negative reviews as it is not a full service and is geared predominantly for take away). So next time you're at Steels and Dufferin on a Sunday with Bubbi- drop in for a few bagels and coffee and you'll thank me for it.

One knows that if I'm there twice in one day, my second bagel will be tuna salad. That I love grape juice. That if I order the egg BLT, I didn't get enough sleep the night before. She also lets me know if I'm losing weight and that I shouldn't be losing it "for a boy". I've assured her that I'm not. With the other, we share descriptions of books we're reading but never the titles. It's our thing. It's not really that hard to cut and toast a bagel. Or slather spreads and jams on it. But I come here for the experience. I'm always guaranteed to feel a little better after stopping by.
