| - This little hole in the wall has a split personality, over one door it reads "Bagel Beaubien" and "Beaubien Bagel" above the other. Just to make sure you're not confued: they sell bagels, on Rue Beaubien :)
My glasses fogged up immediately upon entering, and after some discreet wiper action, I was delighted to discover they actually make the bagels on site. I guess it's common for bagel places, but I'm not used to them in general. They have a great selection (in my very small book): sesame, poppy seeds and wheat, but also, cinnamon-raisin, chocolate, blueberry and onion! 6 Bagels are less than $5 and a dozen in around $8 which I find reasonable. I was disappointed to find the bagels were cold, what was I expecting? a live cookery show? They were still delicious, moist and dense. I tried a cheese danish and was a bit let down: it had the tell-tale, very sweet flavour that hints at mass-production rather than hand-made baking.The service was not incredible but I guess I'd be a little brought down as well if i were cooking in that heat for days on end.
They regularly advertise in the local Rosemont paper and you can snag yourself a coupon giving you half price on 24 bagels! If you want to spend even less, they wrap up bagels from the day before and sell them at discount price!
