Rocky Mountain Bagel Company

Basic. Overpriced. Cool vibe inside. Not a GF breakfast place I’d suggest for others. We were just walking by so I thought why not try.

Amazing! Had a BCLT - they checked for allergies and advised that they will need extra time to ensure the prep areas are clean and safe. I will be back to try another bagel soon. Thanks!

Bagels are store bought but the cream cheese is delicious and they take all the necessary precautions to avoid cross contamination.

My son and I are celiac, they confirmed separate area to prepare, separate toaster and separate cream cheese container! I haven’t had a toasted bagel with cream cheese out for years! It was great. Tasted great and felt great. My son had the amigo bagel and he said he’d like to go back to eat everyday at this restaurant! Very safe. Lady changed gloves as she walked over to do our bagels,

I ordered the gluten free eggel with bacon. No cross contamination. No feeling unwell 3 hours later, either.

The eggs were definitely out of a carton. So, not an amazing standard of food, but nice that there's a GF bagel shop in Canmore.

YUM! Locally made bagels and toasted in a dedicated toaster

While they do have gluten free bagels, they told me that if I wanted a bagel toasted it would be toasted using the non-dedicated equipment and that I'd need to decide if that was a risk I could take. I asked if they were able to use a new container of cream cheese or butter and they said they could not. I asked if they could safely slice the bagels and they said they'd use a clean knife. I took the cold, dry, sliced bagels back to our rental house for my kids, where we had a bag of store bought GF bagels and I realized how pointless the purchase was.

For what it's worth, here's the response that I received from them in early 2020: "We buy the GF bagels from Kinikinik out of Edmonton. When we have an order for one we prepare it on a prep table beside our normal one and with all precautions taken. We use specific cutlery and produce prepped specially for GF applications. We are a bakery and we do have flour in many of our products but we are very conscious about allergies. If you do come into either of our stores, just mention at the till the allergies your family has and our team will take care of you."

It is great to be able to have a breakfast bagel and coffee somewhere :) bagel was good, but expensive for what it is (it is a plain Kinnikinnick bagel, I saw them take it out of the bag). Cashier assured me they use a dedicated toaster and separate prep space for GF. Yummy breakfast and coffee but essentially expensive for what it is.

Their cream cheese flavours are amazing, which they sell separately in tubs to take home!

The bagel sandwich I had was very tasty but small. Though that’s typical for gf bread products. I felt very safe eating there. The cashier was knowledgeable about cross contamination. Great for a quick bite!

Just okay. The server asked if they needed to keep mine seperate which I thought they would just do on their own. The bagel wasnt really toasted so it was pretty dry. We asked if the toppings were all gluten free and she seemed unsure. It is great to have options but it really wasnt a good meal at all. The coffee was weak and the menu is actually quite small. It was quick and simple but thats about it.

It was ok, there was some effort to limit cross-contamination but I’m fairly certain that they used to same knife when applying cream cheese to both gluten and gluten free bagels. I felt pretty sick afterwards.

Its nice to be able to ask for anything on the menu that otherwise wouldn't have gluten. They just have gluten free bagels and a separate toaster. Usually the gluten free bagel takes a bit longer but my girlfriend loves it.

As a celiac I find it hard to get gf breakfast when travelling. This place is a great option because it’s fast but they take cross contamination seriously. They toasted my bagel in a separate toaster and used a fresh batch of cream cheese. It’s a kinnikinik bagel so nothing fancy but nice to have something hot and efficient.

I was impressed with the awareness of the staff! They asked if my gluten free bagel was allergy related; and offered to toast it in a separate toaster to avoid cross contamination!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free bagels, they understand celiac and will be careful. They use kinnikinniks bagels, not home made, but still good. A good place to grab quick breakfast and coffee.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Can heat up and prepare bagels in the back to prevent cross contamination

Gluten free bagels! Perfect to have for breakfast as a takeaway before our hike at Lake Louise!

Really enjoyed eating breakfast here while on vacation - when I asked if the gluten free bagel was Celiac safe, the woman at the counter was well-versed - Udi's bagels (individual pre-packaged), microwaved to avoid cross contamination, and used separate cream cheese.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
