Cadmans Montreal Bagels

Definitely the best bagels in Ottawa. Although they are bigger than the ones you get in Montreal they just as good as Montreal bagels used to be 30 years ago (I think St-Viateur bagels have become sweeter over the years.) And you always get a smile from the people behind the counter.

Smelled like floor cleaner and Indian food (they were mopping and there’s an Indian restaurant component to this bakery). The manager kept yelling cash please to his busy employees while he was looking at his phone. $20 for 6 bagels and a small tub of dill cream cheese. I saw a customer join the line and walk out…. Believe me, I was tempted to do so too.

I will not go back very often anymore. Short Review: They charged over $10 for the smallest tub of cream cheese (chive flavour) - way, way, way overpriced. Long Review: I went in for a few bagels to toast at home rather than the grocery store. One bagel is $2.29 while 6 sell for $9.99. Note that for this price, they do not toast the bagels, they just "sell" them. I decided to encourage small businesses rather than the Loblaw's of the world and decided to pay the high price for 6 bagels. Then I saw the cream cheese on display. I asked for a small tub, she weighed it, than the total came to over $20 for the bagels and cream cheese. But without noticing, I tapped my credit card to pay. Once I got back to the car, I noticed that they charged $10.22 for the cream cheese. Like I said, I do like supporting small, local businesses but when they gouge you like this, I cannot support them even though they make great bagels.

Apparently you have to pay attention to the machine when it asks for a tip
It defaults 20% without interaction.

Food seemed to be old. I won't say hard rock but very difficult to bit and chew. Kinda expensive for the quality.

Overall decent food. Service is OK. Atmosphere sucks. Way to expensive. I paid 5$ for a 250ml perrier. You can buy a 4 pack for 6$. Bagel was delicious. But not worth 12$. Stop being greedy and make a bagel more affordable Ranjeev.

Came here on August 29 at 10:40am. I’ve never been here before, so it’s my first time here. Still browsing through the menu and asked the staff some questions of course. The girl taking the order had an attitude and was very rude.

As someone working in the service industry as well, there’s absolutely no need to give an attitude and we have to be kind esp if the customer is also being nice to you.

You have to be more grateful in the current Position and employment you’re in. If we work in a service based industry it’s our job to be accommodating and explain what’s on the menu with grace. It doesn’t take much to be kind.

The rudeness and attitude from the girl who was on cash alone esp when the customers are being nice to her is absolutely so uncalled for.

Team ordered a hot dog. It was delicious. The staff was very rude and unprofessional. Upon opening the wrapper, there was mustard everywhere!
Up charged for pickles.... Expensive price point for what you get.

Happily satisfied with a quick salad lunch and half a dozen bagels.
Has a large patio & clear indoor seating. Washroom was accessible & clean.
Relaxing music was playing. I would come back for sure.

Stopped by for the first time in a while. The service was impatient. Of the dozen bagels I bought only 2 were vaguely fresh , 4 others might be toastable and the remainder were so old and hard I just threw them out. Very disappointing. Won’t be back.

Once In a while I like to visit and get myself a sandwich which is pretty good! However the past visit I noticed the bathroom was not in order and then this time as well. This last time I went I got to looking around an I was horriffied of the condition of the place. The bathroom is always out of order, the benches are totally worn out, the door needs to be fixed as its hard to pull and has been like this for a few month and whatever you do, don't look up. The lights above the counter are caked in greace and cobwebs. The dust in this place is ridiculous!
I hope they consider more consideration in cleanliness for customers. I normally don't mention things on a first visit but when it stays in the same condition for this long then I speak my mind. I hope this will push the staff and owner to clean this place and have a functioning washroom for its guests

I’m not sure how to reply to the owners reply so I went into Edit
I certainly can understand electrical problems or waiting for parts for the duct work, but this does not in any way stop you from cleaning. Your scheduled cleaning needs to be more often. From what I’m looking at, this is months of build up to a year. You have a gift and a prize possession in your hands. Keep it going with some simple elbow Greece. Do not make excuses that you could not clean because of a problem that has nothing to do with the dirt. Own up take responsibility. We need great businesses in the area and you certainly have something great! ❤️
