FOUNDED ON TRADITION
Our commitment: make the best bagels, the old-fashioned way, with premium ingredients.
Founder and Montreal native Craig Buckley opened the first Kettlemans Bagel in Ottawa in August of 1993. When he started the business, he simply wanted 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.
