Fun experience. Everyone in class seemed to be enjoying it. The owner, Will, added nice touch of humor to explaining everything in detail. This was one of the best experiences we have ever had on a Viator tour. We even bought the ingredients to make numerous batches of bagels once we get home. Highly recommend.

Super fun, hands-on experience. Easy for beginners and delicious treats at the end. My son and I had a blast and instructor Will was entertaining and knowledgeable. Now I can make delicious Montréal bagels at home in California! 💕💕

    Once inside the home, your guide gets you set up at a station at the main table so you can get hands on while learning how to make delicious bagels. Some basics you walk away knowing are how to knead the bagel dough, how to use your favorite seasonings for your bagels, and what’s the difference between flour varieties.

    After your bagels bake, enjoy the fruits of your labor as you taste your bagels.

    I had so much at this class! I met really awesome people and the host was fantastic. He kept us engaged throughout the whole experience, and made sure we all got comfortable with each other. It is a very hands-on experience, and I appreciated learning about what makes Montreal bagels so unique. As a NYC native, it was especially great to banter about which city's bagel is the best! The bagels were warm and delicious; and it was great that we made extra to take home as well. I wanted to try a cooking class in another city, and this class exceeded my expectations. I absolutely recommend it!

    Super fun and approachable class, great for all ages. We took our teenagers and our 9-year old and all were happy. Bagels were delicious.

    Best class ever

    This class was so much fun! Will is a great teacher and keeps everyone engaged with his jokes and stories. And the bagels we made were delicious!! Highly recommend.

    Great Class & Instructor in a Very Cool Factory Building

    Mike_B, Sep 2026
    My wife and I had a GREAT time at the class and found Will to be very friendly, informative, and engaging. I saw some reviews from years ago that reference a home kitchen, rest assured this was in a commercial space in the old Cadbury Factory building which has been refurbished into very cool loft spaces. Plenty of bathrooms, great cleaning practices with washing sink in the kitchen where we were baking. My wife was a little apprehensive about taking our first cooking/baking class but were very happy with how it went. Totally approachable class for anyone with no experience right up to experienced baking, but wanting to learn the nuances of Montreal bagels and the differences between other bagels. This class totally removed intimidation we had with making bagels and now we're ready to go crazy and try for ourselves at home.

    Highly recommend this...

    We had a great time making bagels. They were delicious. My recommendation to the host would be having coffee/juice and butter/jam/cream cheese. Even if you have to charge a little extra. I normally don't eat my bagels plain.

    Fun and tasty class!

    Jennifer_L, Aug 2026

    Montreal Bagels - DIY

    Steven_C, Aug 2026
    We came with friends, and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the class. Very good time -- and worth the money. Will was able to teach to multiple ages simultaneously and added a good deal of humor to the process. He has simplified the process so literally anyone can do it -- even with no baking experience. He had all the paraphernalia there for sale if you wanted it. The bagels were hot and delicious, and he handed out the hard-copy recipe at the end. We will definitely bake them at home for our family. Thumbs up!

    Fun class. A terrific teacher. Will was engaging, humorous and knowledgeable. Was an easy way to learn how to bake.

    Great experience!

    Donna_H, Jul 2026
    What a great experience! Will is funny and engaging. He made an effort to connect with everyone in the class - 20 people! He gave great instruction and he was easy to follow. The bagels were very good and I did buy a bit of the “secret ingredient” so I can try them at home and I’d wager they’ll be even better with my SE PA water! ;) I would highly recommend this class!

    A must-do Montreal experience
