I was visiting over the weekend and had a sudden craving for bagels. I drove to this 24 hour location and since this was my first time trying these bagels, I picked a few items. I ordered the lox and cream cheese, and a few single bagels to have during the week: a plain, sesame, pumpernickel and banana nut. The bagel themselves are SO good. Even a few days later they were so soft and amazing. Though the lox was super dry and flavorless, so I can't recommend that, but the bagels themselves are great. I went on a Sunday morning around 7am, plenty of parking in their shared parking lot. The service wasn't friendly, and seemed a little annoyed with me, but it was very quick. read more

Siegel's Bagels - Lox and cream cheese. Super dry and bland salmon. - Bagels Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

My cousins were raving about the place and were all excited about making a pit stop after the fireworks show. Granted, I didn't want to eat the bagel that night, so I saved it for the next morning, but it was dry, and definitely not as flavorful as I was told it would be. I had ordered both the blueberry and a banana bagel, and I'm sad to say that the blueberry bagel at Safeway was preferred over the one from Siegel's, and I couldn't even taste a hint of banana in the other. What happened?! Is it just me?! It looks like they keep making fresh batches of bagels throughout the day, so not entirely sure what happened.... Anyway, two thumbs down. read more

Bagels with uncooked insides! This is the third time this year we've made the drive from Seattle to get bagels. We buy a couple of dozen/ bags of them drive all the way back to Seattle and find out that the insides are basically RAW! WTF? Do you guys not get that eating raw and uncooked dough is not good for your health and you can't re-cook it to finish cooking it. Severely disappointed since we have to drive so far expecting high quality and getting basically bags of raw dough that was very expensive. You may think you're cooking them long enough but clearly you're not. I guess I'll just stay in Seattle and go to Eltana. Maybe Vancouverites should drive to Seattle to get Montreal style bagels. read more

Delicious, open 24/7, friendly staff. What more could you ask for? Favorite bagel: banana walnut! read more

Came here with my bf for an evening snack. I just wanted to share the beef salami bagel sandwich with him because I wanted to eat something else later but he had to order a salmon bagel lox too =_= We had both of the bagels toasted. The beef salami was pretty good. They packed a lot of salami inside! I didn't try the salmon lox but I think it was good too. I asked my bf who had the salmon lox before what he thought and he actually preferred the beef salami more! LOL Overall, lots of bagels to choose from and good place to have a snack because it is open 24 hours! read more

Ok, Vancouver is not a city that it is easy to find a good bagel in. Siegal's offers Montreal style bagels that are an above average version. No, they are not the bagels you will find back east. But it is a long trip to get a bagel, so these will make due out here. They don't add preservatives, boil them in honey water, and bake them in a brick wood-fired oven. And they are open 24 hours a day, like a bagel shop should be. If you want a decent Montreal style bagel in Vancouver, this is probably the best option. They have a 2nd location on Granville Island in the market, but I have found the quality to be much less consistent there. The Cornwall location is the place to get their best product. If you like to get bagel sandwiches their two best in my opinion are the traditional lox & cream cheese (which they serve with wild sockeye salmon) for about $8.50, and the more west coast style candied salmon sandwich (same as the lox & cream cheese, but they use candied wild sockeye salmon) for $6.95. Some tips: - Tuesday's you can get a dozen for $7.50 instead of the usual $9.50 - Always look over the counter to the area where they take the bagels out of the oven and let them cool. Ask for whatever variety you see sitting there - they are the freshest and still warm from the oven! read more

Finally a bagel shop that makes Montreal style bagels.They are different from NY bagels. NY-style bagels are soft, chewy and doughy while Montreal-style bagels are smaller, denser and sweeter.The bagels here are the best ones you can get in and around downtown Vancouver. They've got a lot of flavors to choose from. And they do bagel sandwiches too. People rave about their Montreal smoked meat sandwiches, but I don't think they are great. The smoked meat is no where close to Schwartz's. Also for me, smoked meat has to be served on rye bread instead of bagels. Though the lox bagel is pretty good here. They accept cards and are open 24hrs Food : Ok Service : Friendly Ambiance : Casual Worth the price : yup read more

I love Bagels, authentic real bagels not the kind you get at Safeway on the shelves. You just can't beat that boiled, then wood-burning taste. It is true heaven especially when smeared with cream cheese. Mmmm, in fact I could do with a bagel right now. Siegels is great, expensive but what deli food isn't. My faves are onion of course and sesame second. Love it. read more

This is an update to my review. Is it just my luck, or does Siegels seem to be out of all their bagels most of the time? I've visited in the morning and at night, and it's a real luck of the draw to get anything other than sesame or poppy seed bagels. Of which there are MOUNTAINS of. It's a bit annoying to have to drive over there for a variety and leave empty handed which I've done on more that a few occasions. This morning the entire display counter was empty, and it was not busy in there. Slightly peeved, Siegels. Make me some 5 star bagels! --- the original review --- These are probably the best bagels I've found in Vancouver. They're not quite as amazing as the ones I've had at Fairmount and St Viateur in Montreal, but those are usually the benchmarks that other Canadian bagel-makers are based on. My favourites at Siegels are the rosemary and rock salt, the onion, and the plain old sesame. And they're open 24 hours. How great is that? The only problems I have with Siegels are firstly, the price. At just shy of $10/doz, it's a far cry from the $6.95/doz of their Montreal counterparts. Secondly, they offer a special on Tuesdays at $8.25/doz, but I've never seen anything other than sesame or poppy seed available. Just once I'd like to walk away with the usual assortment at the special price. read more

Background: I've tried the "best" bagels in Montreal and New York, so I have an idea of what good bagels should taste like. Food: Omg try their cinnamon raisin bagel, toasted with low-fat cream cheese. It's heaven. Also good are their plain bagels and sweet cheese-filled bagel. Their smoked meat is ok, but it's nothing like Montreal. Service: Good, like a deli assembly line. If you sit down they do serve your table. Service with a smile most of the time. They screwed up my order only once but were right on top of it. Ambiance: It's a bagel shop. Pricepoint: Bagels aren't cheap - if you buy by the dozen you'll pay about $8.50 before tax. Overall: The quality here is worth the extra $ paid. You will not be able to go back to a regular bagel after this. read more

Trying to find a vegan bagel here was very difficult. My husband's from Montreal and wanted to check it out, and we asked which bagels were vegan and we were given 1 choice. The whole wheat. So he got one with jam, but that's it. Every other one has eggs in it. I asked. Disappointing so we won't be going back. It's odd since they are on the same street as Planet Veg and Vera's (which has a veggie burger) and I know Tim Hortons has a few vegan bagels to choose from so go there instead. All their dips have dairy so we skipped that too. read more

Parking lot is a nightmare as there are out of province people (Albertians) who don't know how to park and take up a stall and a half. Sunday afternoons are busy as everyone in Kits is hungry all at the same time and the place is packed tighter than a fat kid in skinny jeans. Standing room only at times. Patrons can easily spot the townies like my wife, kid, and I. Lots of eyeballs staring at you like you're invading the eliteness of the west end but hey, I'm from the valley and at least I have a backyard!! A dozen bagels are under $10 but if you check in with your mobile Yelp app it's 10% off of your first purchase. Once you check in and use the deal you have four minutes to use and and that's it. We go for 2 dozen bagels, the food otherwise is pricey. Never had a sandwich but I bet it's awesome as the meat looks deelish. read more

1. fresh-baked bagels 2. open 24 hours 3. the reuben. SO. GOOD. 4. day old dozens for 5.50 Therefore, 4 awesome stars. I grabbed a reuben for dinner last night, and I'll probably be back there again today for dinner. Totally a good thing! read more

24 hours bagel shop? Yes please! I can't tell you that Siegel's is the best bagel place in town. The truth is, I have never tasted just their bagels. I have however had their stuffed smoked meat bagel and it is amazing!! For $4.95, they definitely do not skim on the meat. Probably the best stuffed smoked meat bagel EVER... unless you can tell me about another place which has better stuffed bagels. read more

Ever since my days as a student in Montreal, I savor the late-night memories of heading to the Mile End neighborhood for taste-testing what's fresh at 3am and sitting out in the nearby park with hot bagels and schmear. Siegel's carries that tradition, and it's open 24 hours! A rarity in the cosmopolitan country town that is Vancouver. While some memories are best remembered and not recreated, I journeyed to this location after picking up my financé from work and a lovely stroll along the seawall. When I entered the building, I immediately asked for "what's hot," because that's what you do a bagel place. Unfortunately the afternoon is not the best bagel time, so nothing was fresh out of the oven. I decided on a garlic bagel, with smoked salmon & black pepper schmear... which I had to clarify as cream cheese because I'm sure none of the employees understood what schmear was. It arrived warm and toasted, which was a blessing and a curse. It was great to have a warm snack after a cool walk, but the garlic was not burnt, and the taste of carcinogens permeated the flavour of fishy cream cheese. I knew I made a bad decision, but I learnt my lesson. Service was friendly, service was quick, and location is convenient for those who want something besides starbucks and Triple O. And it's open all day and all night... to satisfy that "Fourth Meal" cravings when there's no taco bell in sight. read more

I've been coming to Siegel's with my family since I was a kid. For the first few years, it would be an afterthought to a visit to Baskin Robbins for ice cream, which was where the White Spot is now. I would order one plain bagel and eat it as-is. Then one day in my preteen years, by some stroke of genius, I tried the Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich...and I've never looked back since (unless you count this walk down memory lane as looking back). I still take pleasure in eating a fresh sandwich on a sesame bagel and ask for no mustard. *Drool*... My standard breakfast is half a toasted sesame bagel with butter and cream cheese. If you get the bagels fresh and slice them that day and then stick them in the freezer, they manage to keep tasting fresh for a week or two. I also love their chocolate walnut rugelach, but refrain from getting them too often due to the sweetness and richness. If you're looking to buy a dozen bagels from them, go on Tuesdays when it's cheaper, although you won't find as much variety in stock. read more

We love Siegel's Bagels!! Initially I started coming here because I'm a night owl and choices are limited at 3am. Years later, I'm still a frequent customer and can't get enough. Having been born in Quebec, my boyfriend is a huge fan of the Montreal Smoke Meat. He swears it's just as good as back home. My go to is the lox sandwich.. lox, capers, cream cheese.. yum! There was one time where part of my large order was forgotten (had to take some to bring home of course), but for the most part, service is great. Staff are friendly and pleasant to talk to. Prices are kind of steep but I'm not complaining. Everything is tasty, and I can get my fix any time of day. read more

Outside of Montreal , these are the best Montreal style bagels I have had. Best bagels on the west coast. And they are 24/7 , get them fresh as they are baked thru the day . Amazing read more

Bagels are great but the costumer service is terrible. Whenever i went there, i always wait 15 min at least to get a bagel. Today i was there at 1am and there are about 20 costumer and only one guy who takes order and makes them ready. As a result, i got my bagels around 30 minutes. And store is always dirty. No clean table available. read more

Siegel's Bagels - No clean table available anytime. And floor is always dirty - Bagels Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Rude employees - major attitude & no pride in their work.  Got my order wrong.  I mentioned it immediately before taking a bite but they would not fix it & refused to provide a refund.  I left without my meal or my money back. I would encourage you to spend your hard-earned money somewhere that will appreciate your patronage instead because this is the level of service you can expect here when you give a 25% tip. read more

Love the smell of fresh bagels on a weekend morning here. The bagels are really good. I stick with the everything with a light shmear. The bagels are not as good as what you would find say in Montreal or NYC. But for being 2000 miles away they are pretty darn good. The service here is friendly, unlike that other bagel place that also starts with an S. They have good deals on day old bagels. read more

Wide selection of bagels. Prices are kinda steep for what you get. $8.50 for the Ruben. It's good but I feel like it should be $6.50(it's quite small). More like a snack than meal sized. I like how the stores open 24hrs. The pickle they give is really salty. read more

See all

I've lived in New York for over six years. My ideal lazy weekend breakfast routine was a walk down to the neighbourhood bagel store and getting a coffee and a bagel. Now that I'm in Vancouver my morning routine has shifted somewhat. I now go to the local coffee shop for a scone or a muffin and a coffee for breakfast. That's all well and good, but I still miss the ritual of walking three blocks for a freshly made (not delivered) bagel for breakfast occasionally. After looking through yelp to find places to go, I settled on Siegel's Bagels. It's supposed to have the best bagels in the city. More importantly, I was attracted by the novelty of having a bagel cooked in a wood-fired oven. I didn't think it would make too much difference to the taste but at the very least it would give me a story to tell people back east. Overall, I was kind of disappointed. A bagel with cream cheese at $3 was about twice the price compared to what I'm used to paying. The bagel itself was pretty tasty but it was really small. The outside was nice and crispy while the inside was soft and chewy. The bagel had plenty of flavor. But again, it was really small. It was maybe half the amount of bagely goodness I would've gotten in New York. I really enjoyed my bagel while I was eating it but as soon as I was done eating it I was like "that's all there is?" I suppose I could have gotten two and played with different flavor combinations, perhaps wrapping one bagel around the other to create an ice cream swirl effect but at $3 a pop that's too much for a regular weekend breakfast. Now I will say that of the maybe 40 people in the store I was the only one to order just cream cheese as a topping. As far as I could tell, everyone else ordered off the sandwich menu which would probably be a good amount of food. I've also never ordered a bagel in Montreal so maybe they're into less quantities of bagel there to offset the carbs from poutine... read more

Another awesome day at Siegel bagels.have yet to have anything bad here.And the smoked meat is the best in the West.

I have been going to Siegel's bagels for years but since it's been under new ownership, the quality of the food and service has decreased. This morning I ordered a morning bagel which has egg, montreal smoked meat and cheese. The were only 2 very thin slices of montreal meat in the bagel. You could not tell there was meat in the bagel until you took the top off. Previously the bagel was loaded with tons of hot meat and to make matters worse, the price of the bagel has remained the same. It's very unfortunate when a restaurant comes under new ownership and cuts corners to save money. What is even more insulting is the owner(s) think customers do not notice which some do. I will not be returning. read more

I love this place and LOVE that it's 24 hrs! I work late nights in the kits area and this place is so handy! The hustle and bustle is constant and the bagels are being baked fresh throughout the night...tip: the morning around 6AM are the freshest! I have never had bagels that tasted so good before! They literally melt in your mouth and only cost $1.50! read more

Didn't bring breakfast today and so made a quick trip across the street for a bagel treat. They had a full selection of all kinds and I chose rosemary and sea salt again as it was super good last time. The list with available cream cheese varieties is gone and so you have to look at the little tubs in the cooler to choose. I chose feta and spinach. Prices have gone up as my bagel came to $3.92. I tried to pay with debit and was told there's a $5 limit. In a shop where bagels are $1 each, this is irritating. If you're under $5, there's a $.25 charge, bringing my total to $4.17. For a small bagel with some cream cheese. No so pleased with my purchase today. read more

Wood oven baked bagels, fresh and creamy cream cheese, and the best smoked wild sockeye salmon combine to make a breakfast from heaven. Everyone knows Pacific Northwest salmon is the best and these guys know how to build on that. The energy bagel is delicious, the everything bagel is my second favorite. Stop by, it's worth it. read more

I usually just drop by and pick-up whatever is warm out of the oven. It's only $1 per bagel so I try to get a variety to take home. Its usually is a more plain bagel but rosemary and rocksalt is becoming a favourite. It's good to try the bagel just by itself.. then as you get bored start adding some cream cheese or butter. read more

I was surprised to learn that the flavorful bagel I had at Granville Island actually had its own 24 hour shop near downtown. Going in at around 12 midnight, the place was fairly busy with customers eating in and waiting for takeout. The level of customer service was expected: Slow preparation of food and employees a bit ignorant to the presence of people waiting to order. I mean, its a 24 hour shop, there's not much to expect. The menu is great, with a wide range of bagel choices and combinations. Pricey for a bagel and not great for those with a big appetite. My favorites: The Lox (smoked salmon with cream cheese) and Rosemary Rock Salt read more

So I stopped in this morning to check out the bagels because I was really craving some. These are by far the worst bagels I've ever had. The blueberry bagel is actually a whole wheat bagel, which I wouldn't mind, but this has absolutely no flavour. And what's worse is that I'm pretty sure it's not 100% cook all the way through, leading to a mushy-in-the-inside bagel. :( I couldn't bring myself to finish it. It's too disgusting. The cranberry orange bagel wasn't so bad. And their blueberry cream cheese was okay. I would have like more blueberry flavour though. I don't think I'll be back. I prefer Solly's. read more

Trying to think of an appropriate bagel pun to illustrate the brutal customer service that we received tonight. We tried to place a catering order and were told that our business wasn't wanted and that we could only be served one type of bagel. We thought it was a joke -- but it wasn't .... After pleading (please sir, may I have some plain bagels) we were hung up on, insulted and told to take our business elsewhere. I think I will. read more

To die for bagels, but overpriced in my opinion. Definitely a good spot to treat yourself to the best bagel you're ever going to have

Hands down the BEST bagels in town! I had the pleasure of going to Henry Hudson Elementary when I was young and have enjoyed them my whole life. If you want authentic wood oven bagels this is your place! My favorite is onion with the dill cream cheese. ;) read more

Fact or fiction time, folks. I ate 6 bagels in less than 24 hours because they were fricking delicious. Fact. Yesterday, at around this time, I started on a bagel binge of a lifetime. I am digusted with myself today (even though I feel kinda healthy and alert). These are wonderfully chewy and fresh bagels. The staff was fast and friendly and it was just an all around good bagel shop. On Tuesdays, they have a discount. But they are worth it even on the non-discount days. The best flavours I've tried so far: Sea Salt, Seasame, Sundried Tomato and Original. I am going to see if I can find some marathon to join into right now, because I've unintentionally done a bit too much carbo-loading for nothing in particular. read more

Siegel's Bagels is open 24 hours, has a large selection of bagels baked in a fire oven, has internet, and is clean and bright. In short, it's a great place for breakfast, a sandwich lunch or a snack. There is a small parking lot (about 15 cars) serving the shops, including a Starbucks, in this mini mall. If you want a bagel in the Kits are, this is the place! read more

Siegel's Bagels - A good selection of fresh bagels, open 24 hours. - Bagels Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Eggs benny is way overpriced and way underwhelming. I can't believe the prices here and Dempster's Bagels are way better tasting!

I grew up eating bagels. I've probably had thousands at this point. Siegel's Bagels makes the best bagels in town, bar none. I can't speak for NYC, but I'd venture to say no better bagel exists even in Montreal (Fairmount and St-Viateur both used to great but I suspect stopped caring a while back). If you want to step outside the plain/sesame/poppy seed comfort zone, I suggest the rosemary rock salt variety. Their sandwiches are pretty great too! The only thing that's preventing me from giving them a full 5 stars is the fact that they sometimes store their bagels in tapped-up cardboard boxes, and I've seen their driver handle bagels with dirty-looking gloves. Maybe that's part of what makes their bagels special though. read more

Rosemary rocksalt!! My personal favorite!! As a montrealer with Jewish heritage, this is by far the best bagel shop in town!! I used to go to St. Viateur bagel in mtl and that has been my benchmark for bagels wherever I go. Seigles ranks right up there with them. The owners are montrealers also, so you know they apprenticed at the best possible locations, whether it be St. Viateur or a couple others. I love they they make fresh bagels 24hrs a day in a wood fired oven and the service is always friendly even at 4am on a Saturday morning. They also have so many other choices that so far have not disappointed. Any other bagel I've tried outside of montreal or new york pales in comparison. And I've tried alot!! read more

I ordered the lox and cream cheese bagel. It was tasty but nothing different than I've had anywhere else. I placed a second order after I checked in because of the Yelp discount. So I placed another order and the guy refused to give me the 10 percent discount. For that reason alone I will never go back. The fact that he wouldn't honor their own coupon and loose a dollar in a single sale is terrible. They easily lost 100% in sales since I will never return. read more
