Old Bagel House is a hidden gem and a true neighborhood staple. I love places where you can just…read moregrab a really good breakfast and go -- and this one nails that vibe perfectly. It has a traditional, homemade feel that makes it stand out from chain spots. The bagel breakfasts and knishes are incredibly satisfying -- fresh, hearty, and full of flavor. It's the kind of spot that quietly becomes part of your routine. If they ever added an espresso machine, it would take things to the next level, but even as it stands, this place is one of my all-time favourites. Highly recommend it if you're in the area and want something authentic and quick.

Who does love fresh bagels! Soft in the middle and crunchy on the outside - it tastes great!…read more It is not comparable to Montreal bagels, but that doesn't mean it's bad! It's not as dense, which makes it more light and fluffy. Don't think they use honey/as much honey since Montreal bagels seem to be a bit sweeter. Will definitely be back!

Since moving back to the K-W area, I was hoping to find a really good bagel shop (ala Montreal,…read moreToronto or "Finagle a Bagel" in Boston) :) The ONLY reason that I'm not giving this amazing hole-in-the-wall place 5 stars is the limited selection. Their Sesame Seed bagels are absolutely awesome!!! This was just my first trip - next time I'll get some of the plain and poppy seed bagels. (really wish they had onion, garlic and everything bagels!!!) If you have multiple people in your household, you need to get at least a dozen. These are fresh, out of the oven within the last few hours - you're going to need to have one fresh with just a little butter while you wait for the next one to toast and get slathered in cream cheese. :) And only $6.50 for a dozen bagels?! How?! :) Simply amazing!! Going to have to show some restraint and not go there several times a week!! :) Oh, they also do whole wheat bagels - but I think she said that you need to order them in advance?

The portions are HUGE, and the food is fabulous, including wonderful homemade soups!…read more BONUS: They also have a senior's & children's section on their very big menu!!!

I discovered this place years and years ago and it kind of became a tradition for me to come Sunday…read moremornings and grab a bagel sandwich! Location: Bayview North of Steele's in the Longos plaza Parking; There's a lot of free parking. It's pretty busy because the longos and it's near a Ramona's kitchen. But there's always parking. The place,: It's tiny when you first walk in you go to the spot where all the bagels are and you pick them using tongs into a bag is pretty tight in that area and you go around to where they bring out the bagels and then around where they're sweet treats and a counter. At this counter if you grab a bagel you can give it to them and get a sandwich made out of it my favorite is a toasted chicken salad no vegetables. You pay extra for vegetables and I'm too cheap to pay like a dollar for some cucumber. They have all different kinds of bagels the most popular is the rainbow bagel because more often than not it is low or not there. But don't fret because they're constantly making bagels all day and chances are there's something that's still warm to the touch because they've just brought it out! You also have some cooked food such as falafel and other things I've never ordered it but I know people that haven't said that they really like it. I am sticking to my chicken salad bagel. I think the chicken salad is delicious. I do notice that a lot of people get the egg salad and my friend swears by the smoke salmon and cream cheese. It is seriously tiny so the seating situation is zero but people don't realize, or some people don't realize, that that's actually a little mall and if you exit the store on the side you come upon a seating area where there's about 20 seats.. I've never not had a seat. I would like a lot? Yes of course I've been back many times this is one of my favorite bagel places. And let me say it again because I don't think the million other times I said it was enough, I love their chicken salad sandwiches.

This place doesn't have the best bagels And…read moreIt doesn't have the best service (actually service is almost dreadful) But I find myself coming here to get my tuna bagel as it is nearby but by no means worth it. And The tuna is not the best as well. I wished they used solid white tuna but obviously it is a cheaper tuna product. They have been here a while though so they must be doing something right I try to stay away but come back every few months to torture myself. Do I recommended? Hard to say. If you want a below average bagel, maybe some low quality tuna or horrendous service? Then be my guest. I'll still get my bagels from Bagel World or Kiva's They are much better products than here.

I normally get the Rosemary bagel but this time I went with a classic everything bagel. The cream cheese is delicious on it's own, but throw in fresh smoked salmon, red onion and dill - it's unreal! Looking back on my photos, it doesn't seem like there is much filling inside. I can assure you the cream cheese: other ingredient ratio is equal and even! I am always full and satisfied after eating their bagels. Definitely comparable to Montreal style.

I've visited this café twice now .. once at the beginning of the year and again this month. The…read moredécor is cozy and a little mismatched, which gives it a homey feel. When dining in, you order at the counter, get a number, and they bring your food to the table. Breakfast items are available until 4 p.m., and after that they serve salads, bowls, and sandwiches. On my first visit, I had a hot chai latte with espresso and it was absolutely delicious. The second time, I tried the iced pumpkin spice latte and didn't love it. The pumpkin spice syrup is homemade, which is nice, but the flavor fell a little flat and the large glass was mostly milk, which overpowered the drink. For food, I've tried the egg sandwich simple but good. The spinach feta croissant was heavy on the spinach, light on the cheese, and even though I asked for it warmed up, it was still cold in the middle. Their bowls are very fresh, but I found them a little under-seasoned and could've used more dressing or a sprinkle of seasoning to tie everything together. Overall, it's a cozy spot with an inviting vibe (I love their "stay awhile" sign on the wall). I think it really depends on what you order and your personal taste. For some, the fresh and lighter options might be perfect. For me, a little more flavor and balance would make it great.

A great coffee shop and breakfast option!…read more The restaurant is big for a coffee shop. With free wifi, lots of people like to work or meet here. The staff are friendly and helpful. In warmer weather, they open the large windows, and it's quite a nice atmosphere. Came for coffee, but was blown away by their breakfast plates. They have a small selection of beautiful pastries on display too. Their Omelette plates are made with fresh ingredients, well-seasoned home fries, and fresh bagels.
