I have been buying bagesl here for many years and enjoy them. In the last year I have noticed that the "Lox Cream Cheese" ocntains less and less "Lox". today I mentioned it and wass shown a "bit" of Lox. the cream cheese did not tassste any lox, they are putting less and less in the mix. I did call and mention that I am very disapointed. A few months ago I also purchased a "packaged Lox Cream cheese" and found the same, was giving it another chance today, never again. read more

So unhygienic. Owner was sweeping up crumbs from the cabinets/register area with the same gloves she cut a bagel with. Didn't change the gloves once. Plus, the bagels have absolutely no flavor. read more

Definitely the BEST bagels you can get in the GVA, and this is coming from someone who loves bagels! I originally tried Mount Royal when I was visiting Victoria and was super glad that they have a location in North Vancouver as well. They have tons of flavours to choose from and homemade cream cheeses as well. As for ambiance, there's no seating inside as it's definitely a grab & go kind of spot so keep this in mind. My favourites are the everything bagel, rosemary rocksalt bagel, and the sesame and I would definitely recommend trying their basil & garlic cream cheese - so good! I would also recommend coming here early in the day because they tend to sell out, especially of their more popular flavours, quite quickly. The service is super nice and patient with some customers that take longer to choose what they want. Finally, the bagels also freeze really well so I always buy a bunch when I'm there to stock up. Definitely recommend! read more

Mount Royal Bagel Factory - Everything bagels & cinnamon raisin bagels - Bagels Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

I wish they sell single bagel. Looking at the old pictures posted on Yelp, it seemed like they did in the past. For now the bagels are only sold in bags of 6 ($8). It is too much for me and I have to freeze some of them. I do not really like to freeze freshly baked goods as it kinda defeats the purpose of going to the actual store to get fresh bagels. I decided to get the everything bagel to try. The smell of garlic is very strong. I can smell it in the car when driving. The bagel is soft and pretty nice when toasted and spread with cream cheese. I got overwhelmed by the selection and what they had. So I missed out on the store made cream cheese and maybe more stuff. I really wish staff would give customers time and space to look through the menu board and check out the store properly. Instead of the eagle eye laser beam on me, silently urging me to quickly order and go. This is especially so when shops only allow 1 customer at a time so I definitely feel the pressure of not being allowed to browse. I doubt I will make the trip here just for bagels as I did not have a good store experience. read more

I recently tried some bagels at the Mount Royal Bagel Factory and was extremely disappointed with their products. And I think I know something about bagels growing up in New York City and eating bagels all my life there and in many other places. I couldn't believe their 'Everything Bagel' had no garlic, onions or salt.. just a smattering of poppy and sesame seeds. How can you call this an Everything Bagel ??? I also tried their 'Rosemary Rock Salt' bagel which had virtually none of either of its namesake ingredients. So disappointing! And to make matters worse, these bagels are not very big yet they charge $3 dollars each. What a rip-off! When I returned to the bakery to give them some feedback the woman who previously sold me the bagels seemed surprised and told me she would speak to the baker. She made no attempt to offer me some fresh replacement bagels, a refund or any other consideration. I found this attitude disturbing having owned a large restaurant, catering company and other food services businesses where we always assumed the customer was right and did everything we could to make sure they were happy. I rarely write reviews but I consider myself a maven in this area and wanted others to know about my experience and recommendation to spend their money somewhere else where they could get a quality product. read more

What a wonderful alternative to store-bought bagels in a plastic bag. I had been craving good bagels and found this place through Yelp, and I'm glad I did! Business was fairly slow on a rainy Wednesday morning. The employee sounded/looked stressed; I think shipments were delayed and the store was understaffed because of Covid. But he still did his best to serve us. I got a half dozen cinnamon bagels and a container of plain cream cheese (they were out of honey vanilla unfortunately). They smelled so good that I sat in my car in the parking lot after purchasing and chomped one down, dipping it in the cream cheese because I had no knife. The cream cheese is perfectly tangy and has a nice, soft texture. I love that the cinnamon bagel is just cinnamon, no raisins, although the cinnamon being on the outside can make the bagel a bit sticky. Overall, I'm a fan. I don't know if I would drive all the way to North Van every week for these, but I'd definitely do it once every month or so! read more

Bagels sell out super quick so be sure to come early in the morning. We got there around noon and there were already a lot sold out. I tried the breakfast egg sandwich and the smoked salmon sandwich and they also serve coffee and teas etc. read more

Awesome fresh bagels! My husband and brother in law drove to North Van one morning to grab us some fresh bagels. They came back with a bag of assorted bagels about a dozen and a half, honey cream cheese, and plain cream cheese. It was delightful I tried the sesame with plain cream cheese and everything bagel. Both tasted chewy and soft in the middle, I didn't toast it I like it that way when it's fresh. The next day I tried the cinnamon toasted with honey cream cheese, that all tasted really good. Once we finished our bagels, four adults and three children we went back to get more. The store offers coffee and a small seating area. Overall, we loved their fresh bagels and will come back! read more

Nice fresh bagel but wish multigrain used multigrain dough rather than just sprinkling grain on top.

As a former Montrealer, happily, bagels from this place used to remind me of St. Viateur--in other words, exceptionally good, dense, little-bit sweet, not salty, moist, a good chew and worth a special trip to get some. Sadly in the past 12 months or so, the quality of their product has really plummeted. I must admit, I haven't been to their store in NV, but I have (or rather, had) been buying them pretty much weekly at WF. For some reason, these former beauties have hit some kind of "mid-life crisis"--they're more "puffy", airy, springy, lop-sided, riddled with uncooked pockets inside--barely edible in some cases. They taste and feel more like those round, hole-in-the-centre, beige things you can get at most grocery stores. Sadly, MRBF bagels are nothing whatsoever like the ones you get from their suggested namesake. read more

This is my favorite local business! You will love the daily fresh Montreal style bagels and want to stop in weekly. I've met other customers stopping by from as far as Vancouver Island and Chilliwack. If you meet the owners, you'll understand why. It's all about providing you with enjoyable experiences and fresh products made in house with quality ingredients. Freshly whipped flavoured cream cheese, organic eggs and smoked salmon. Home made almond butter. Pick up your supplies and have a cappuccino while you are there. Don't forget that Edelweiss granola is also made in house. My go to is hazelnut maple. If you can't make it to Mount Royal on a regular basis, remember to ask for freezer bags or find Mount Royal Bagels and Edelweiss granola at your local supermarket! read more

Fiancé took me to Mount Royal Bagel Factory for the first time. We shared a Rocksalt & Rosemary bagel with honey vanilla cream cheese and had a regular coffee, oh my! Delicious! I've only had bagels from L.A and this by far beats it! read more

Good bagels but selection was awful. Show up at 1pm and I could pick from 3 varieties. I could understand limited selection if it was late at night but it wasn't. 12 bagels and cream cheese $17+. Selection of cream cheeses was no better. Too bad this place doesn't have a place to sit and have a bagel and coffee. The Rock Salt place has a better selection and more to offer. read more

These bagels plus their cream cheese are the BEST I have ever had!!!! Hands down. I first discovered their cream cheese being sold in another store - it is truly wonderful. Finally when we cud not find the cream cheese again, we went to the source in North Vancouver -on Queensbury Street - then we discovered their bagels! Just finished eating a toasted sesame seed bagel with cream cheese late a Friday afternoon-and we bought them Tuesday morning before Christmas. Totally recommend this place!! read more

Friend used to live a few blocks from this place so woke up early a few mornings to get fresh bagels. I'm not a regular consumer of bagels because they are so heavy but fresh bagels just can't be beat. I can't remember (common theme in my reviews) which bagels I tried, but they were are magically delicious, especially topped with either smoked salmon cream cheese or my personal fav, condensed milk. Yes I'm sure it's absolutely weighs a ton on the calories scale, but who cares, it's down-to-the-last-crumb good! read more

There is one place I always have to visit when in North Vancouver. The best, most authentic Montreal style bagel outside of Montreal. They have warm chewy crust, and soft centre, a spread of their house made cream cheeses......I cannot get enough, big bag of every different flavours. Cinnamon with honey vanilla cream cheese is the best. I had a cappuccino with my order, amazing. I will be back for sure. Very friendly service too. read more

It's been a while since I left a review... But I had to come out of Yelp hiding and say this place is great. I had an everything bagel with basil and garlic cream cheese... I now wish I got 2 as we're driving away... Next time I'm in Vancouver, this is definitely a routine stop. read more

Well worth the drive. Beats any other bagel in Vancouver and San Diego hands down. Small, light, crispy, dense and soft on the inside, just perfect! A dozen and a small cream cheese only 11 bux, what a deal!!! I am in heaven!!! read more

The aroma first hits you a couple of blocks away - then you walk into the bagel store. It is hot, sticky and humid. The smell of proofing dough... No better way to start a day. read more

Don't come here often but the hours have change. It doesn't open at 8am anymore according to their sign. It's now 9am. So for those 'regular' working people who either drop by before work or work from home, you're having a late breakfast bagel or not bothering buying anything for the office. I should have just gone across the street to S'Wich or BLVD Bistro which opens at 8am for breakfast. read more

I don't generally write reviews, ever, but I am so disappointed with this place I feel I have to. I arrived at 1235pm on a Saturday (closes at 1pm) and was told they couldn't serve me a sandwich that they only sold the six pack of bagels. So ridiculous and terrible customer service. It shouldn't say open till 1 if you're going to turn away customers before... read more

Stopped by here to pickup some cinnamon bagels and honey vanilla cream cheese..... yummy!

This is a tiny bagel shop with big flavor. I was in town on vacation and we stopped in here for a breakfast bite on our way out of town. We really enjoyed our bagels and the staff that helped us (sorry I don't recall her name) was very nice as well. read more

Worst part about this place is once you have one of their bagels you can literally never enjoy a bagel from a grocery store ever again for the rest of your life. read more

It is the BEST bagels in my life! You must try these bagels with cream cheese. I love everything with basil and garlic cream cheese.

This is my favourite bagel source, but unfortunately the counter service person was so rude that I won't be back any time soon. Too bad because I have had a long history of allegiance to this shop. I was so stunned that I actually asked if the management had changed hands, which I was informed it hasn't. read more

Simply the best. I have been coming here for years and I would recommend it to anyone. This is a true local gem.

The customer service and atmosphere are non-existent in this dreary little establishment. Why are they calling these hockey pucks "Montreal-style" bagels? Have these people ever been to Montreal? If this is the best Vancouver has to offer, I'm heading back east for some St-Viateur! read more

This place sells delicious, freshly baked bagels. They're all awesome. Been going there every Saturday and Sunday morning since I was a kid. If it was only bigger and had room to sit and eat at lunch time. read more

The bagels have been drying out in a day ... And then you add the attitude of the younger staffs attitude... I think we won't spend double the price on bagels anymore. You compare this service to cobbs where they even give free buns ... It's pathetic read more

Glad to have another bagel shop on the North Shore. They are New York style bagels. I'm from Toronto so used to having bagel shops everywhere as opposed to Vancouver where it is not part of the culture. Could use some more whole grain options...now that I think of it I don't even think they had a dark rye option. Dark rye is a must! read more

The only reason I can't give this a 5 star review is because I loved the Montreal style bagels of St Viateur of Montreal so much. These bagels are indeed excellent, and we bought a dozen along with some cream cheese. We had a lovely person behind the counter and it was a really good experience overall. read more

We just recently moved to the Grand Blvd area of North Vancouver.. after my husband and I went for a morning run, we stopped at this "bagel factory." The woman at the counter was too busy on a personal phone call to serve us properly. Treated us as if we were a nuisance. Terrible customer service aside, being from the east coast I know a good bagel and you will NOT find one here. Sorry, won't be back. read more
