As far as bagels in Toronto go, this is one of our goto’s. The staff is very friendly, the chopped egg and especially chicken salad is delicious, and the bagels are good. Compared to bagel joints in the USA, well, not as good unfortunately. Someone once told me it has to do with their water but I honestly don’t know. If you’ve never had a decent bagel in the states you wouldn’t know any better. In any case, these are great for Toronto bagels. They also have really nice challah, delicious frozen cheese blintzes, and tons of awesome deserts. Recommended.
Everything is so fresh and tastes amazing! The quality is great and the staff are so friendly! My husband and I love coming here!
This location is the best by far. They do such a good job with having fresh bagels every day. The staff here are so nice and kind store management is quick and easy. I can’t say enough good things.
Pretty good Bagel Shop overall. Good food and reasonable prices as well.
Best and freshest bagels, EVER!
We picked up freshly baked, still warm from the oven, Everything bagels and a medium sized vegetable cream cheese, and a package of Rugelach(apricot).Bagels are so fresh and yummy that you can eat them straight from the bag!!

I have been going to various what a bagel locations and I love them! Their bagels are absolutely always fresh and consistently always taste great!
They have lots of varieties of baked goods and you can get breakfast/brunch/lunch bagels with different toppings. Everything is always very fresh and very tasty!

I ordered a tuna on a twister. The tuna was really generous. I ordered avocado on it too, with some veggies, the twister was fresh but also easy to chew, so I leave there with a sandwich that was easily a full meal. I will gladly return again and again for that kind of experience. :))
Bagels may be good but the staff are RUDE. Very disorganized. First time here, stood in line and then was told I had to bring my own bagel. Back to the end of the line. 20 minutes to get a bagel. Ridiculous The women who made my bagel yelled at me as she was annoyed because she can’t hear and didn’t wait for a response from me. I replied to her THREE times . Really. Poor service. And you lost my lost my business on the first visit
Lots on the menu to choose from for bagels and other food options. Had the smoked salmon bagel, and it was great. Good selection of smoothies. Welcoming staff and they were efficient. Would recommend this spot for nice breakfast.
My dad bought a bagel and it has some sort of bristles in it. I'm glad I saw it before he ate it, I don't have time to drive hin to the hospital. I've been going there for years, as the owners have swapped and it's really lost a step. Nobody seems to care about this incident, there's been radio silence on multiple attempts to contact them. Stay away.
They forgot my extra order of homefries after I made it clear twice during ordering for pick up. Now it's too late for me to go back. Drop in quality over the years. Used to be a regular. Never again.
Went on a Saturday morning and it was quite busy. You ask for bagels/bread from a guy before you get to the counter. At the counter, they take your bagel and make a sandwich.
We got a tuna and an egg salad sandwich with lettuce, tomato, sprouts, and onion. Pretty fresh and tasty although Mister found the tuna a little dry/bland.
Staff friendly and helpful.

I generally go to What A Bagel to get a day-old bread to take home. Why does the bread have to be sliced so thick? You get only about 10 slices per loaf ..it will barely fit in the toaster. It's way too thick for sandwiches ... two slices and you can only taste the bread, not what's in the sandwich.
What a Bagel at 8010 Bathurst in Vaughan has amazing customer service! Things started on the wrong foot in that when I got to the store to pick up my order, there was a mix-up or a misunderstanding and the order wasn't ready. Since I had a limited break time from work and I had to go back, I couldn't stay and wait for the order to be prepared. I was visibly upset...and hungry. The staff was apologetic, but I wanted someone to fix the situation and offer a resolution. And that's exactly what happened - I was delivered the food as initially ordered and got an extra of bagels! Thank you, WAB! You really owned up to your mistake and made me happy as a customer who will undoubtedly will be coming back and recommending others to visit you!
Put my jacket on a chair at an empty table so I could order a bagel at the serving counter; was yelled at across the room by the manager to “remove” my material, I had to make a reservation and wait 20 minutes ! How pretentious. How rude. All this just to buy an overpriced bagel !
I like to come here for breakfast when I can, nothing crazy but good value for what it is. The best part for me is coming in early for a meal and on my way out getting some fresh bagels and/or whatever special they've got while it's still warm. Overall a good bakery and breakfast place all in one :)
We just ordered egg with toasted bread and they charged us for a pack of bread. She did not ask for type of egg and put scramble egg, We asked for return and she refused, she even refused to give us our receipt. Their behavior was rude. It was our first and last time. After eating, even the bagel was so hard and not fresh like other location that we had tried.
I do not recommend this location at all. Especially, this brand menu is different in each location which confuse you.

Great quick service. Fresh items and easy parking.
Good dessert and juice selection. Look forward to returning

Great place to get a classic, hollowed out bagel. Made fresh, with awesome options to add to your bagel. Love the quick service, which they had a better toaster situation- I like mine double toasted, but I seem to only get either not toasted enough, or way way too toasted-blackened!!
Great baking tucked away in a strip mall on Yorkmills Road. I stumbled on this while heading to a supermarket looking for a late breakfast. The name is deceiving - though they have baskets full of fresh bagels (which you can have filled or have some spreads on them) there are also shelves of other specialty baking - croissants, danishes, etc.
Great spot.
