To be honest, i was expecting a bit more. It was a no nonsense kind of place where, for the most part it seems that locals order bagels by the dozen to take home. I ordered the sesame seed bagel with cream cheese. It was tasty and had a subtle sweetness to it that was a pleasant surprise. I sat on a bench outside and ate my bagel in the cold of Montreal. I guess i was just expecting, with all the hype, some kind of ambiance inside where i could sit and relish the best bagel known to man.
