| - One word: WOW!
Two words: tasty bagels.
We walked and walked early in the morn to get to this Montreal bagel institution - highly recommended to us by the locals. When we got there we had to wait in a short line, but the bagels were served so quickly we hardly had to wait.
Everywhere you looked there were bagels, except for when there were people eating bagels and making bagels - there was also a fridge with cream cheeses and other bagel accessories.
This brings us to my next point. We asked if they made sandwiches for us, and they said they would not. Fair enough.
There was about 6 or 7 varieties of bagel but my tastebuds stopped on the first flavour - sesame seed. My partner and I both ordered this classic variety. I knew it had to be sesame because that's what the person told us to get.
The ladies that worked there were of the older variety, FYI. They clearly had lots of experience and knowledge about the craft of bagel making and the application of sesame seeds to such doughy sculptures.
80 cents later, I had that precious bagel in my hand. I could feel the warmth in my hands through the bag - this bagel was fresh! My partner and I took 2 packages of Philadelphia cream cheese each to dress up our new bagels. However, I think the nice lady at the cash only charged us for 2 instead of 4. We didn't tell her and are still experiencing the karmic retributions of our actions that day... Just yesterday I noticed my own cream cheese is looking a little on the mouldy side. Could this be connected to the 2 cream cheeses that my partner stole? Something tells me that it is directly connected.
Anyhow, she also gave us a plastic knife to cut our bagels in half and apply the cream cheese. Thanks!
We ended up sitting on a bench not too far from the bagel shop, getting sesame seeds all over our pants and the floor beneath us. I guess the adhesive isn't the strongest, but we didn't mind. It was like confetti for people who don't like rainbows.
I ended up getting a text message while I was eating the bagel, but didn't think twice to check it because I was so involved in my eating of the delicious bagel. Turns out it was just my mom, anyways.
The bagels were wonderful. Tasty without being toasted! And could have been great without any added condiments, too. My partner didn't cut his in half, he just dipped it into the cream cheese. I thought it was kind of weird but quirky - that's why I love him. I fell a little more in love with him that day.
Overall we had a great experience (and are sorry for not speaking up about the 2 extra cream cheese packets). We would like to try the eat-in restaurant version of this establishment next time we are in the city.
Thanks for the laughs!
