Michel’s Baguette

We arrive from the subway and my wife ordered an Everything Bagel with butter from this outlet at Union Station Michel’s Baguette.
Unfortunately, the bagel was meh. I don’t know but the toasted bagel was not that toasted, the butter tasted like margarine or some cheap butter, and I did not really taste the «everything» from it. Where was the dried onion bits? sesames? It was very lacking in taste and toast. It was so doughy and totally plain. Did I ask for a plain bagel?
Next time I am at Union Station, I will pass on these bagels.

Not happy with the toasted bagels we ordered.
Toasted means toasting the bagel first, then adding the bacon & egg! Not making the bagel adding the bacon & egg, then squishing it into a grill.
Can’t you see that it just make the bagel worse this way?
Very disappointed.

The last time I came here I paid $ 3 for a spinach and feta croissant that tasted like soured fish and the cashier refused to give me the **free** WiFi password. Like, the name of the signal is «Michel’s Baguette Free WiFi». I won’t be going back, no matter how long I’m stuck at Union. There are just too many better options.

If you’re coming here ONLY for a chocolate croissant ($ 2.85 + tx), or a choco-​almond croissant, then by all means, *sink*your*teeth*in*!!!
They are 95 plus % of the time, fresh and soft, flaky and the quality of chocolate is not that waxy cheap hardened kind. It’s melted, and continues pleasuring the inside of your mouth that way.
4.5 stars for their chocolate croissants!
(p.s. best almond croissants? Kensington Market’s Wanda’s Pie in the Sky).

I’ve tried other «savoury» croissants of theirs. It was o.k.
Everything else is okay, and will fill you up, in a pinch.
Location is good, and service is fast and good, too. They never seem to be understaffed.
Downside, like other Unilocalers pointed out, is that the prices are cha-​ching ($$).

I kinda like this place. but not enough to be a fan.
They have nice interesting sandwiches, which I find to be unique. They are conveniently located smack dab in the middle of Union Station providing free wifi to commuters, like me!

This place sells overpriced pastries and sandwiches to hungry commuters inside Union Station. I’ve eaten from here more than a few times, and, at best, my experience has been okay.
I have gotten sick from eating their spinach and mushroom pie, and I still don’t know what that white giggly stuff was – cheese? egg? – but it didn’t taste good.
A simple boxed spinach salad costs $ 7 from here, and a slice of pizza is +$ 6. It’d be worth it if it was good. I ate here before I knew about the Bagel Shop tucked into the corner after the newsstand shop.
At Michel’s, they usually have a nice basket with a few baguettes poking out; so you might feel some nostalgia … if you’re french. Instead of buying into it, walk over to the bagel shop and pick from a ridiculously wide variety of cream cheese for your bagel. It’s cheaper, better tasting, and isn’t making fun of French breakfast with so-​so croissants.
Their debit machine also broke down once when I was trying to pay, and the general attitude seemed to be that it was my fault.
