Fabrique de Bagels Café Noir — Restaurant in Magog

On our way to Mont Orford, I couldn’t resist stopping at (Fabrique de Bagel café noir) for breakfast—there’s no forgetting the taste from our first visit to Magog. I adore this place for its variety of fresh bakery & local items (jams, érable, pie etc..)

We ordered a bagel with salmon and cream cheese, a poppy bagel with cheese, and hot chocolate. Naturally, I also bought a dozen of their freshly baked mixed bagels & 1/2 dozen of blueberry bagel. The blueberry bagels are still my favorite, and I was pleasantly surprised by the ‘bagel aux érables”—it was my first time trying it, and it’s perfect for those who enjoy a sweeter taste.

They also have a nice coffee bar and bakery case. The almond Croissants were very good, my husband enjoyed his coffee and I has a very nice Chai. They offered local meats, honeys, maple syrup in various form, jams and others. The store was a great place to buy gifts to bring home to give to out family. We hope to get...

This place is a must-stop for coffee or a snack, with the best bagels in the area. The backyard has been improved a lot. But the real reason I come here is because it feels like home, it’s peaceful and has a great vibe.

However, after spending about $35 between my partner and me, getting our desserts in paper bags and my chai latte in a takeaway cup kind of ruined the moment. Maybe the young waiter was just in a hurry, but why do other customers get their coffee in a real cup and their dessert on a plate, and we don’t?

“It’s the little things that make a difference.” I hope they remember that, because this place is...
