text: When asking around Montreal for the best bagel place Fairmount Bagel was highly recommended After parking and waiting for what felt like forever we made it I guess I was expecting a New York bagel but I was sadly disappointed They are completely different than your average NY bagel They are way smaller kind of remind me of flat bagels and have a sweet taste to them They do not make their own cream cheese but instead use Philadelphia cream cheese which was a huge bummer It was quite a charming establishment and while I will always love and prefer my NY bagels this Canadian style bagel sufficed
