Owner reached out to me in an attempt to resolve said previous situation. They are doing all they can to remediate the situation and I highly respect how accountable this company is.

I've come here for the passed 2 weeks for bagels and the bagels here are fantastic. Customer service was also very good. I believe that majority of the employees here are great to begin with.
However, it has come to my attention today that one of your staff appeared to have disrespected a family member. She appeared to be lacking in her customer service skills. In fact, she even raised her voice at my family member to the point that even the other employees looked at her. Honestly, she appeared rude.
When I told her my family is here from Vancouver and loves mtl bagels, she did not even react, as if she pretended to not hear me.
Then later when my cousin told her they're gonna bring all the bagels back to Vancouver she responded with "ya. ya. I heard." My cousin said she really sounded like she doesn't care. Customer service would entail to at least pretend and act like you do care.
I understand my uncles did not have the best spoken English skills, let alone communication skills to begin with as they can be very hard to understand. I know he isn't the easiest customer to deal with because he seemed indecisive with his choices too. I can understand how overwhelming it is to encounter an abrupt big order. But customer service entails to still be patient with the clients to the best of your abilities.
It was unwarranted by your staff member to yell at a a customer in this situation. She yelled something a long the lines of "DONT RUSH ME" but honestly it didn't seem like anyone was trying to rush her. My uncle was asking for a box for the bagels and he said it more than once, to ensure that said staff heard him.
One of my uncles inspite of thinking that your staff was being rude to his brother, he still bought 5 dozen bagels. He said it would be the last time though. He also did not like the fact that he had to ask for bagel bags and twist ties otherwise said staff was about to not give them to us, maybe she forgot I don't know.
Maybe said staff was having a bad day, I don't know. But my family members said they refuse to come back to mtl bagels as a result.
I really grew to love this place instantly but today's events resulted in a rather negative experience. Willing to change my review until this situation appears to be rectified. It is a shame because the rest of the staff seem great. And the bagels are...
Read moreM.T.L Bagel serves the best bagels in Montreal! The wood fire oven and freshly baked bagels give these bagels a unique and delicious flavor that simply can't be found anywhere else. No pain, no grain. This place may be the loaf of my life.
The bagels themselves were perfectly chewy, with just the right amount of crustiness on the outside. I loved how they had a satisfying crunch with every bite, yet also had a soft and chewy texture on the inside. It was clear that great care was taken in crafting these bagels, and each one was truly a work of art.
The experience of getting these bagels was also very memorable. The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the air, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I also loved being able to watch the bagels being made right in front of me.
It comes as no surprise that M.T.L Bagel won the "best bagel in Montreal" award in 2021, as they definitely live up to the reviews. These bagels are truly one-of-a-kind and worth every penny. I highly recommend that everyone try these amazing bagels for themselves - you won't be disappointed! The best is...

Nous avons décidé de faire un beau tour de moto avant hier après-midi le 5 novembre 2020 pour notre deuxième Yelp Elite Perk au MTL Bagel. Nous apprécions ces invitations et nous remercions les commerces qui en font pour les membres Elite Yelp. La température était fabuleuse ce qui a agrémenté notre visite bien sûr. Ce commerce est situé dans un quartier populaire que nous avons adoré. Nous fréquentions souvent cette partie de Montréal quand nous étions plus jeunes et ça nous a fait plaisir d’y retourner. Aucun problème de stationnement ici ce qui est un PLUS à comparer du centre-ville où trouver une place pour se stationner est très difficile en plus de devoir payer. Je dois vous dire que c’est toujours un choc pour moi de voir de l’affichage unilingue anglais dans un commerce et que le français y soit relégué au second plan. Nous sommes au Québec et pour moi, c’est inadmissible de prioriser l’anglais. Le MTL Bagel ne fait pas exception à la règle. Un effort dans ce sens serait très souhaitable en ce qui me concerne. Nous avons eu droit à un accueil très amical et digne de mention et dans un excellent français de la part du jeune homme sympathique. La gamme très variée des produits offerts est très bien présentée et alléchante. Nous avons apprécié ce qui nous était offert gratuitement par le commerce soit deux bagels en lunch et 6 bagels en plus sans oublier un sac pour mettre le tout. Un bagel gratuit est offert à la clientèle qui ramène ce sac pour rapporter leur commande. Ce magnifique sac coûte $1.00. Nous avons opté pour un bagel au saumon fumé et un à la viande fumée à $8.99 chacun. Nous avons choisi 6 bagels de saveur différente qui coûtent normalement $6.50 la ½ douzaine et $10.50 si vous prenez une douzaine. Nous avons acheté du fromage à la crème à $3,99. Nous avons rapporté le tout à la maison et ce fut notre souper. Tout était excellent mais nous ne sommes pas comme tel des fans de bagels dans nos préférences gastronomiques. La viande fumée et le saumon étaient savoureux et les quantités étaient généreuses. La fraîcheur était aussi au rendez-vous. Nous ne connaissons pas les prix des bagels de ce style dans les autres commerces de ce genre mais nous croyons que c’est sûrement dans la moyenne. Tout est devenu cher partout dans les restaurants et nous devons nous y habituer. Nous avons 14 photos à vous proposer. Vous pouvez y voir celles où l’unilinguisme anglais nous a chatouillés. Nous recommandons ce commerce si vous êtes des disciples bageliens. C’est la place où aller pour vous régaler. Vous y serez reçus avec courtoisie et le sourire qui est légèrement masqué par les temps qui courent……..
