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

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.

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 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 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.
