Back at Kits and was thinking a Siegel bagel for breakfast. Stopped by around 6:45 am...and great that this location is open 24 hrs. Opted for my go to...poppy seed. Packed cream cheese from home and had them slice the bagels for me. Bagels with cream cheese and coffee was the perfect breakfast for the beach. And love the display of fresh bagels at their store. It was a positive food experience. read more

I don't know how but it's always busy there! Even at midnight there's a line. The Montreal smoked meat is to die for! I love the cream cheeses too, I didn't think blueberry cream cheese could be so good! The bagels really are the best you can get here! read more

The bagels are fresh the meat has amazing flavours and the cream cheese comes in a range of flavour- choose what you love. The place is really tiny and doesn't really have a lot of seating read more

Tried their signature Montreal smoked bagel. Meat was hot and tasty, but this thing is bagel sized. Thought they'd at least use a larger bagel. Probably the most expensive sandwich I've had in years. Knock 1 star off in terms of value. I left hungry. Oh well, at least they included a pickle slice. read more

I found this little shop while walking around Kitsilano and saw the lineup almost backing out into the parking lot. Loved my Montreal smoked meat on a bagel. The bagel was perfectly toasted, crispy, and chewy with that hint of sweetness Montreal-style bagels are known for. The smoked meat was steaming, reasonably lean, and delicious. The spicy mustard gave the sandwich just enough of a kick. Plys, the sandwich was piled high - I can only imagine how stuffed the large version would be. The ambiance is not much to speak of - there are a few seats indoors and outdoors. It's definitely a to-go place. Service is friendly. I would definitely return for another sandwich or just to get some bagels. read more

It's a little on the pricey side for certain bagels and cream cheese but over all Great service and very friendly employees, atmosphere and the bagels were on point read more

Taste: 4.7/5 The bagels here are classic Montreal style--smaller, thinner, and sweeter. They offer a solid variety of flavors and cream cheeses. I had the Lox & Cream Cheese on an everything bagel, and while the ratio of toppings was pretty standard, I could've used just a bit more lox. The club sandwich on a sesame bagel had a great blend of flavors, and the egg-tomato-cheddar on an everything bagel had a perfectly cooked egg (no runny mess) and the cheddar itself was really good. All of them, the bagels itself were the stars--perfectly baked--and the egg was cooked just right (no runny mess). Price: 3.5/5 The bagels themselves are reasonably priced, but the cream cheese adds up, especially for the flavored ones (I paid $5.25 for one!). The sandwiches are on the pricier side, but it's definitely worth it as an occasional treat. Service: 4.1/5 The cashier was really kind when I changed my mind mid-order, which made the experience smoother. Both the ordering and waiting lines moved quickly, even with a decent crowd. If you come early, there's usually no wait, and even when there is, it doesn't take long. Vibes/Atmosphere: 5/5 A must-try on Granville Island! This bagel spot feels like a staple of the market, and I'll always make a stop when I'm here. It's got that cozy, bustling vibe that makes it part of the island's charm. read more

Lox and cream cheese bagel Honestly not as good as I expected it to be... The bagel itself tasted a little bland. It was also harder than i thought it would be and hard to take a bite out of. The capers were also lost, I could see them but I couldn't taste them. I liked the cream cheese the most and everything felt a bit lost. The bagel itself also overpowered the salmon. Many of their other bagel sandwiches look packed with ingredients though so I would like to revisit for a second opinion. read more

After years of hearing the hype. I thought I should give this place a try. As a Montrealer who moved to Vancouver a decade ago. I simply accepted there was never a bagel that would own my tastebuds and heart as much as a Montreal bagel. I ordered my usual Montreal order: poppyseed toasted.... I must say. This bagel left me speechless. Tasted like home. 5 stars easily; My only regret was only ordering one. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Smoked anything hits different in Vancouver. It's smoked but doesn't have that intense smoked flavor that I really don't care for. Montreal Smoked meat....WOW! Shipped directly from Montreal weekly. I was really hesitant to get this but the thought of tasting something from Montreal peaked my interest. So I got a Montreal smoked meat on a onion bagel, no mustard add Mayo and cream cheese.....damn this sandwich was sooo good. I honestly wished I got a large to get more smoked meat or at least got 2 sandwiches. The meat was so flavorful, no fat and no smoked flavor with the crispy yet chewy bagel, delish. Best thing I ate at Vancouver! I wished I didn't wait to try Siegel's on my last day and hours before my flight. Because I literally can eat the Montreal smoked meat sandwich everyday! read more

Uhmmm....I honestly don't know what to say....which rarely happens. I adore a nice fresh bagel first thing in the morning and when I googled this place I was curious to try it out. I wish I hadn't. The service: I think she might have been sleep walking and stumbled her way to the cash register. Let's leave it there. The food: So, they have a wood burning oven but it's just for show. Both our bagels were not only frozen but old and stale and the egg was not fresh either. Their mini raspberry chocolate croissants were also old. All of what we ordered was of such poor quality and deceptive that we returned it and got our money back. We ended up going to our usual Jewish bagel deli where everything is fresh and served with a smile. Yeah.....fresh and with a smile....think about it! I wonder what they do with that wood burning oven if it's not giving customers fresh bagels?! read more

A friend has been hyping this place up for YEARS, and finally I tried it. I think these are supposed to be Montreal-style bagels, but mine didn't really compare to the bagels I had in Montreal (the ones in Montreal were sweeter). However, if I'm not comparing, it was a very good bagel. There were lots of things I was into with the menu here: a wide selection of bagels, vegan options including veggie "lox" and dairy-free cream cheeses (plural - not just one), and they have a few different kinds of rugelach too. I got a veggie lox + cream cheese on a caraway bagel with the dairy-free lemon dill cream cheese, an apricot almond rugelach, and a decaf coffee. The carrot imitation lox was very tasty as was the cream cheese, and I loved the caraway bagel even if it wasn't what I expected from a Montreal-style bagel - it was very fresh. The rugelach was different from what I've had in the past, the dough was more like a bread dough and less puff pastry, less sweet, and I liked this version more. The apricot filling was juicy and delicious. My coffee was very basic (which is what I'd expect at a bagel place) but good, didn't taste old or bitter. We were there shortly after noon and they were busy, so it took a minute to get our food, but it does seem like they have an efficient workflow set up to keep the wait reasonable. Nice people. It's not very big inside - there are two tables plus a bar along the window, and a few more tables outside. Most people were ordering to go, so we got one of the tables. read more

We visited at 8am on a glorious sunday morning. About 4 people ahead of us in line we were served in less than a minute. Impressive deep ovens roaring with fire and 10 ft long trays of bagels being baked and dumped into a huge hopper. We asked our cashier what flavor he recommended and two nearby customers interrupted with their opinions. Enthusiasm. We left with 6 warm bagels and 200g of garlic cream cheese. We didnt think the bagels were amazing, better than a grocery store but not up to the standard we expect of a bagel specialist. I dont think they are proofed long enough and dont have the high gluten bounce and umami of what i consider the best bagels. Even fresh they were a little crumbley. The garlic cream cheese was pungent and terrific. Service was extremely efficient and friendly and price was reasonable. read more

this place use to be awesome but has fallen off a cliff paid $28 for 2 buttered blueberry bagels that had no blueberry's and were tasteless and a smoked meat bagel that was swimming in mustard and was inedible I will never go back to this place read more

I am not sure what to expect of the bagels which have received high praise from many. As I was in the area, I decided to try it. I was not wow by the bagels. I had the Reuben on poppy seed bagel. That was tasty. It was probably due more to the meat than the bagel itself. Never get poppy seed again as the seed got stuck to the front of my teeth aplenty. My fault. I also ordered the cinnamon raisin and sundried tomato bagels. Unfortunately I was only told it was unavailable after I had paid and was waiting for them. So I had to find an alternative -- rosemary rock salt. I thought the bagels were just ok, soft and a bit gummy. Maybe that was the way it was supposed to be? I felt it was a bit similar to Rosemary Rock Salt bagels with the softness. I will only try it again if I am in the area, not something I will drive out for. Note: The staff had no idea about the Yelp "check in discount", and did not honor it. read more

I travel a it for work and like to read the local guides. When one reviewer stated, "They ship the Smoked Meats in once a week from Montreal and bake fresh Montreal Bagels, this NJ Jew was sold. It was even better than expected. The thinly sliced smoked brisket was very tender and juicy. The onion bagel slightly sweet. Extra mustard for me. I told my husband if I had time before my flight in the morning I'd bring him a half dozen home to Oakland, Ca to compare with our local favorites, Botchnick's (New York Style) and Beauties (Montreal) for a taste test. Try the Ruggahla too! read more

Heaven on a plate! Ever since discovering Siegel's rosemary and rock salt bagels I Can't get enough. Straight out of the bag or toasted, they are divine! Recently I was hankering for one of these gems, which I usually pick up on Granville Island, but was nowhere near the place, so I decided to live dangerously and order with a delivery app. This I rarely do because of the service and delivery charges, which just put any order right out of my options. This time I was offered no service and no delivery charge, so I went for it and ordered 1/2 doz of the bagels and the smoked meat sandwich. I had no idea what to expect, but hoped for something tasty. When the order arrived the sandwich was still warm (steamed meat) and huge! With 175gm of Siegel's Montreal smoked meat, it was loaded and a beautiful thing to behold! (see photo) And it tasted as good as it looked. Perfect fresh bagel, gorgeous steamed meat, a light smear of mustard (as requested), plus a dill pickle. This was a 10/10 and I'll be hard-pressed not to order it again way too soon. At $16.95, this was a huge splurge and not my usual lunch expenditure. However, they charge $6.50 for 100gm of the meat over the counter, so 175gm is more than $11 worth. Add in the cost of the bagel, the making of it, packing it, etc., and it adds up. Yes, it sounds like a lot of money for a filled bagel, but add in the absolute perfection of the thing and, once in awhile, I'd buy it again. I don't know where else in Vancouver such flavoursome joy can be had. To be sure, this is not the limp stuff brazenly referred to as Montreal smoked meat in the supermarket. That stuff is cut glass compared with the diamond product at Siegel's. Anyone looking for a sublime Montreal smoked meat bagel in Vancouver, this is the place! read more

Talk of bagels got me craving for bagels. Siegel's was the nearest one. On the weekend the line up was so long and watching customers leave here looking content with their cup of coffee and bags of bagels, I needed to try some of these. I returned on a Tuesday early afternoon. There were only three people in line. There is only pick up from the window. There was handsanitizer and covid precautions in place. The cashier was polite. This was an easy purchase. I would go back again for more bagels, coffee and cinnamon buns. Good thing it is a ways away from home and I have to walk up a hill so I won't feel too guilty about the delicious calories. read more

As far as I can tell these are the best bagels in Vancouver. However I get them delivered by DoorDash and I have no control over the freshness that I get. Sometimes they are hot out of the oven. Even after delivery I can feel the heat coming out of the paper bag. Other times they are hard as rocks. Thus, three stars. Ordering something like this on a regular basis should not be a crapshoot. I don't know what the solution would be but Siegel's ought to figure it out. read more

The staff was lovely as they dealt with cash only due to a power outage.. It didn't look like cleanliness was their priority, but I've been coming here since it opened in the 90's. However, when I exported my bagel within the hour into the toilet, I realized my instincts about the texture of the cream cheese was right.. it was not up to food safety standards. I want my money back! read more

Favourite spot for Montreal style bagels in Vancouver. Note: they are not open 24 hours every day, now (signage at their store still reads as though they are). Check opening times. Siegel's is a local business which was started up by a family of Montrealers who moved to the area years ago and were craving the bagels from home. There's a location at Granville Island in the public market as well as this flagship in Kits. I actually love the classic sesame seed bagel, but the everything and rosemary rock salt bagels are great too. The 'big breakfast' bagel is delicious if you want something more filling. The service isn't always quick, but they do get quite busy. The small sit down area gets filled at the busy times, but being situated in a perfect neighbourhood if you're layered up it's nice to sit outside. read more

One of my favourite places to pick up bagels in Vancouver. There is usually a bit of a lineup to pick up the bagels but thank goodness the wait is not too long.

I've been coming to Siegel's for over a decade, and even had left a 5-star review on this site years ago, but had an experience today that left me really disappointed. Yesterday, I bought lunch from Siegel's including a Happy Planet orange juice. When I got home, I opened the orange juice, and even though it was within the expiry date, it tasted off, and even had green mold growing on the surface. I've had this happen before with Happy Planets, and even though $4 isn't the end of the world, I believe on principle in cases like this the customer is owed a refund. I went back today, and was served by the same helpful and friendly clerk (named Angel), even bringing the spoiled Happy Planet with me. I made my order, and explained the situation, expecting the cost could just be discounted from my order. She asked if I would just accept some bagels in exchange, since it would be complicated to do the refund in this case, which struck me as odd, and I asked if it was all the same if I could just have it discounted. She called over the person in charge (Dhurai), who asked if the Happy Planet was expired, and then asked if I had the receipt, and that since I did not, he could not give me a refund. This strikes me as an exceedingly bad policy. I bought the drink in good faith that it was consumable and didn't expect to need to keep the receipt handy for such an inexpensive order. I think Siegel's should make customer satisfaction a higher priority, and have some room for faith in the customer in common sense cases like this. I've had similar issues come up in memory with off-tasting food at Solly's and Earls' picked up at an earlier time, and the situation was corrected straightaway with no problem. I've had friends complain about the service/attitude/ethos here before, and now I have to agree with them. read more

While visiting Vancouver and on the lookout for great bagels, we came across this place while waking to our Airbnb from Kits Beach. I discovered I am not a fan of "Montreal style" bagels. Too sweet and no salt. Everything needs salt to being out the true flavors, IMO. On the other hand, their chive cream cheese was fantastic!! Some of the best I've had. The place was busy so I assume the locals love the bagels. Just wasn't what we were looking for. read more

Came here a little past midnight as it was one of the only places open late. Glad to see a good crowd of people in the store. I ended up getting the big breakfast bagel (smoked meat, egg, red onion, green pepper, tomato, lettuce and cream cheese topped with melted cheese). It took a bit longer for the bagel sandwich to be made but the wait was well worth it. I've never had smoked meat before, but wouldn't mind eating a stack of it. The egg also was cooked well. Also enjoyed the bagel itself. Would recommend. read more

I have been wanting to try this place everytime I pass by Cornwall street. This place is 24HR. You can come anytime and there will be plenty of bagels waiting for you. They are popular for their montreal smoked meat bagel, recommended with the rosemary rocksalt bagel - which I tried. OH MAN it was tasty. It came with a pickle on the side. I would give it a 4/5 - kinda wanted more meat for the value. The service here is superb. Seems like everyone is very friendly. Definitely a place I would come back if I am in the area. Really wanted to try the different bagels they have. Free parking available - might be busy during the day though. It is beside Triple Os and Starbucks Coffee. read more
