Our story

Independent, family-run, and happily Kelowna.

Mount Royal Bagel Factory has been a Kelowna favourite for years. We're a small, family-run shop on Sutherland Ave, and every morning starts with mixing, rolling and baking.

What we make is simple: Montreal-style bagels, hand-rolled right here in Kelowna, plus eight cream cheeses whipped up in-house, sandwiches piled high, a pot of soup or chili, and good coffee.

Regulars know to come early — popular flavours sell out. Whether you're grabbing a half dozen on the way to work or settling in on the patio, we're glad you're here.

Come say hi. — The Mount Royal family

How it's made

Four steps, every single morning

No shortcuts. This is how a real bagel gets its chew.

  1. Trays of hand-rolled bagels resting before baking

    Mix & rest the dough

    A simple dough, mixed in small batches and given time to rest so it bakes up light and chewy.

  2. Close-up of everything bagels

    Hand-roll every ring

    Every bagel is rolled by hand — that's why no two are exactly alike, and why they taste the way they do.

  3. Trays of fresh bagels in the bakery

    Boil

    A quick dip in boiling water sets the crust. It's the step that gives a real bagel its chew.

    Bake until golden

    Into the oven until deep golden, then straight into the case. Come early and they might still be warm.

Truth in Bagels

Taste the difference for yourself.

Open Monday to Friday from 8am — the earlier the better.
