My friends introduced me to st Viateur bagels, and while I am a super big fan of bagels, I was not very impressed. They picked up bagels at 9am for breakfast, and by the time we ate them around 11 they were so hard we had to toast them, and even that didn't make them great. Maybe we were given some bagels from the day before but clearly they weren't fresh. Disappointing considering the reputation of this place!
