Kettlemans Bagel opened in Ottawa in August of 1993. When the business started, our mission was to make the best bagels you could find.
By rolling, kettling, and baking traditional Montreal Bagel in a wood-burning oven using hand-picked hardwood, and maintaining an unwavering commitment to the traditional quality of the food, we have become a food institution 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year for over 25 years. However, tradition does not mean much if the authenticity is gone.more...See more text
They have a large selection of bagels, cheese spreads and sandwiches. Always fresh and the service is courteous and prompt. If you get a dozen or more bagels ask for freezer bags to keep them fresh, but they are so good you may not get to freeze them!
Dreaming about a Montreal-style bagel slathered with cream cheese? Wake up and visit Kettleman’s for the authentic, soft, fresh-baked, chewy bagels you thought you could only get in Montreal. The bagel sandwiches are a popular draw here too, with selections like the BLT and the famous chopped liver. If you’re in a rush, grab a dozen to go and a tub of cream cheese, and you’ll be the hit of the office. (Hide them in your desk if you don’t want to share!)
No matter the time of day, Kettleman's Bagel Company can get you the bagel you crave. While the seating is somewhat limited, the pleasant ambience more than makes up for it. Of course, the main draw of this location is the excellent bagel selection. Digging into a warm bagel served right from the wood-burning stove will make you rethink your previous bagel decisions in life. Be sure to try one of their bagel sandwiches, such as the Super House Special with Cheese.
Kettleman’s freshly baked Montreal-style bagels go straight from wood-burning oven to your plate. Ottawa’s favourite bagel shop also serves a variety of sandwiches, including a breakfast sandwich with eggs, bacon and cheddar cheese. Watch the bagel masters work their magic in an open-concept bakery while munching on your sandwich. Kettleman’s also bakes pastries if you need an extra little treat to top off your meal.
