Old Bagel House is a hidden gem and a true neighborhood staple. I love places where you can just…read moregrab a really good breakfast and go -- and this one nails that vibe perfectly. It has a traditional, homemade feel that makes it stand out from chain spots. The bagel breakfasts and knishes are incredibly satisfying -- fresh, hearty, and full of flavor. It's the kind of spot that quietly becomes part of your routine. If they ever added an espresso machine, it would take things to the next level, but even as it stands, this place is one of my all-time favourites. Highly recommend it if you're in the area and want something authentic and quick.

The first and only time we went (so far, but we'll be back!!) we were not aware you're supposed to pick out your bagel first and bring it to the counter when you order.

The bagels aren't tough or dough-y. Perfectly baked and quick service.

Good morning Yelpers!…read more I was craving bagel with smoked salmon and cream cheese! Decided to order a few bagels. You know, everything, blueberry, jalapeño cheddar and pumpernickel. To be honest they are all oh so good! My favorite is pumpernickel. That tangy sourness to it.. yummy. Then again I am bias since that my favourite type of carb bread. The jalapeño cheddar wasn't spicy at all... more cheese if anything. The blueberry is perfect as well as the everything bagel. The bagels came nice and soft this morning. I also orders the jalapeño cream cheese which wasn't spicy at all, but you can def taste the jalapeño. I also ordered the caramel apple cream cheese, lord let me tell you it is so good! It's like I'm eating a dessert. The sweetness of the caramel plus the hint of apple, mmmm. It's legit like a candy treat. I'd definitely order from here again! The way I prepared my breakfast was I double toasted my bagel, applied the caramel apple cream cheese, smoked salmon plus sunny side up egg... works for me :)

The selection of house made cream cheeses was awesome too. And I love that you can add your choice of veggie toppings (all, some, or none) and sauces at the same sandwich price. I must say that I really enjoyed my mom's pairing of savoury toppings with a sweet (cinnamon) bagel! Service was super quick and friendly; prices were reasonable for the portion size! There was a small amount of seating available for those who wish to dine-in. You pay for your food at the counter first though. My only criticism is that my husband's everything bagel was a bit hard and bland (not as chewy/fresh as we had hoped). While these bagels aren't exactly New York quality bagels, they're pretty good for Burlington's standards and I'd come back here to hit my NYC bagel craving!

It's has family-friendly vibes and is always packed with happy customers and the staff are very friendly and patient.

They have so many great variety of bagels, freshly baked in-house and so many breakfast and lunch options. We tried "Smoked Salmon Bagel with Cream Cheese" and "Ham & Egg Bagel". Both of the were fresh and delicious. Would definitely go back to try more of their menu.

When dining in, you order at the counter, get a number, and they bring your food to the table. Breakfast items are available until 4 p.m., and after that they serve salads, bowls, and sandwiches. On my first visit, I had a hot chai latte with espresso and it was absolutely delicious. The second time, I tried the iced pumpkin spice latte and didn't love it. The pumpkin spice syrup is homemade, which is nice, but the flavor fell a little flat and the large glass was mostly milk, which overpowered the drink. For food, I've tried the egg sandwich simple but good. The spinach feta croissant was heavy on the spinach, light on the cheese, and even though I asked for it warmed up, it was still cold in the middle. Their bowls are very fresh, but I found them a little under-seasoned and could've used more dressing or a sprinkle of seasoning to tie everything together. Overall, it's a cozy spot with an inviting vibe (I love their "stay awhile" sign on the wall). I think it really depends on what you order and your personal taste. For some, the fresh and lighter options might be perfect. For me, a little more flavor and balance would make it great.

They have a small selection of beautiful pastries on display too. Their Omelette plates are made with fresh ingredients, well-seasoned home fries, and fresh bagels.

I came on a Sunday morning craving a breakfast fixing. They have a ton of sandwich and breakfast bagel options so I came hungry. The interior of the bagel cafe is simple but there are many promising cream cheese spreads. I got a breakfast bacon, egg, cheese and mayo sandwich $5.50 plus tax while my friend got a salmon and lox $8 plus tax. The portions were certainly delish but TINY. Not the fun overfilled sandwiches I'd seen on insta from them. The dough of the bagel was nice and sweet. Perfectly chewy. Moving from Montreal to Hamilton, I was hoping I would have a chance to experience the Montreal bagel locally. This place comes close but I wish they would make their bagels equal sized to their Montreal counterparts.
