This is a totally crazy place in terms of background yelling and meshugass going on, but the bagels are BANG EN POINTE.
Perfect texture. Got that Montreal style bagel exterior with the desired chew of regular bagels.
I love Kettlemans.
An going to pick up a ton before we drive back, and freeze them when we get home. -

The bagels are really good (and I'm a Montrealer for many years and still am at heart, so I know bagels, people) - BUT the service is a joke. Who is the manager here?! Whoever it is, is not paying attention. It was a complete shitshow of too many cooks in the kitchen and no organization, so you wait longer than you should for very basic fare.
Also, hello, it is almost 2020 and we're in the midst of a climate crisis and plastic pollution problem and they are still handing out bagels in plastic clamshell containers?!?!?!? Use a small PAPER BAG, for the love of...!!!!
All that said, the Kettleman's Special is a good choice if you're a bagel lox lover. -

It's a good thing I live in the Toronto area or else I'd be having bagels for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
I was in the Ottawa region and found this location pretty close by, so I thought I'd give them a try. The bagels were amazing! I got my order and they were still warm and there's nothing like biting into a warm, freshly-made bagel! Slightly crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I bought a dozen and they didn't last two days.
And I love that you can see them from the counter working the oven. I'll include a picture but it adds a lot to the whole experience to see the bagels come out of the oven.
If you're in the area, I highly, HIGHLY recommend Kettleman's! -

So glad we stopped here! Their bagels are the perfect balance of chewy and crisp, and the ambiance was fun and casual. Best when warm or toasted. A must if you are in Ottawa.

This is a dangerous place to go into when you're counting the calories! You're not likely to come out empty handed ;-) The bagels are being baked in the shop and the whole neighbourhood smells good - way before you even get into the shop!
Kettleman's provides everything you would need for breakfast or lunch, over and above a marvellous variety of tasty bagels, including smoked salmon (lox), pickled fish, deserts, and hot and cold beverages. Their coffee is good!
They do a brisk business, so be prepared for lineups.
