| - If you are looking for fancy dining, this isn't your place.
However, if you are looking for a true Montreal style bagel, this is your best bet in Calgary! Boiled in honey water and then baked in a wood-burning oven on site - mmmmm! Chewy texture & that slight hint of sweetness. Delicious.
They even make some special ones for the weekends - whole wheat (not quite as substantial as the other, but I tip my cap to them for trying this as it cannot be easy) and cinnamon I believe.
The prices are incredible, IMHO! AND they have Winnipeg cream cheese you can buy as well.
Bagels by the half dozen or dozen are their specialty.
Should you want to grab lunch (& really, you should want to) they have a limited, but satisfying menu! Lox Bagel - a true lox bagel! Cream cheese, a substantial amount of smoked salmon, red onion and capers. At $7, it's a steal. They also have a smoked meat bagel sandwich that I will have to try on a future visit. For the less adventurous, a bagel with butter, cream cheese or peanut butter are also available.
These people do it right. Keep it small, but offer quality! Even my kids that are not born bagel lovers are excited when we stock up!
