    Eggs and Onions!
    Howard F.

    I've been going to this kosher-style dairy restaurant for decades with my Toronto family. Service is good and fast, the bagels (and my eggs and onions) are really good, and so are their ruggela.

    I've been wanting to try United Bakers for a while, as it came highly recommended by many people. I stopped by for a late lunch and were seated quickly but I see why there can be a wait on busier hours. They have a good system in place to keep things organized. My friend and I shared the platter with one scoop each of egg, tuna, potato salad, and coleslaw. The potato salad and coleslaw were good, nothing too exciting. The egg salad was a little bland, but nothing a bit of salt and a tomato couldn't solve. I didn't try the tuna but it looked nice. We also got a latke each. It was okay. I think latke style is up to personal preference and I prefer a crispier one. I also got a strawberry milkshake which was yummy and for only $3.99 I was very happy with it! Overall, the vibe is good and the food is good. I hear the Mac and cheese and pea soup are just try items, but they're not my preference. It was nice.

    As one of the oldest restaurants in Toronto (since 1912!), I could see why this diner is an institution in the city and has stood around for so long. Everything from the ambience and service, to the food taste and quality, was 5 out of 5. This restaurant has been able to maintain the old-school diner feel (with the booth-style seatings) without feeling 'dated'. Despite having been around for over a century, it has a somewhat modern and well-kept feel: clean, bright, and spacious inside (with lots of tables and seatings - which might not seem like so from the outside). The front of the restaurant consists of a large take-out counter with ready-made foods (salads, sandwiches, soups) and homemade baked goods that you'd typically find in bakeries (freshly made bread, bagels, sweets). There is an accessible and gender-neutral washroom at the back of the restaurant. Service was very friendly and quick. All of our food came out within 5 minutes. Everything tasted delicious and homemade. I loved the Jewish specialties here, such as Gefilte Fish, Kasha Varnishkes (kasha & bowties on the menu), etc. Dishes that we tried: 1) Shakshouka (eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoes, peppers, olive oil, onion, garlic, cumin, and paprika) - The runny egg yolks and tomato sauce were perfect for dipping the pita bread into. 2) Gefilte Fish (poached mixture of deboned fish and matzo ball, commonly eaten during Sabbath and Passover) - Loved the very soft, velvety texture that reminded me of steamed eggs (but firmer). It contained vegetables (carrot or pepper) inside. 3) Rainbow Trout (topped with toasted almonds and mushrooms, served with bread, cucumber, and tomato) - Favourite dish! Loved the crunchy toasted almonds and mushrooms. 4) Kasha & Bowties - Also commonly known as Jewish Kasha Varnishkes. It consisted of kasha (buckwheat groats), bowtie pasta, sautéed onions. Loved the chewy texture of the kasha, in combination of the somewhat crunchy bowtie pasta and smooth sautéed onions. 5) Shuk Quinoa Salad (quinoa, kale, broccoli, bell peppers, chickpeas, seeds, olive oil, lemon) - Simple and healthy. 6) Israeli Salad (chopped cucumber & tomatoes) - We got this as an add-on to the Rainbow Trout. Nice, light, and refreshing. 7) SIDE: Sautéed Vegetables It's no wonder that this restaurant has so many regulars that keep coming back. We'll certainly be back again!

    After the Second Annual Lawrence Plaza Chanukah Extravaganza's Community Candle-Lighting (sponsored by The Song Shul, with community support from UJA Federation of Greater Toronto), we were peckish and decided to have some latkes at United Bakers Dairy Restaurant which is over a century-old. Since 1912, it's been a Toronto tradition, where you'll see family, kids, parents, bubbies, zaydies, friends and community members gather and greet each other with smiles. After being seated, we ordered a bowl of Beet Borscht, Smoked Whitefish Salad Platter, a 2 Eggs All Day Breakfast and Latkes. They ran out of Pea Soup (it's Old World recipe is a family favourite) and Sesame bagels today. We were lucky enough to watch the staff light the store's electric Menorah in the window after sundown, while reciting the blessings. It was a simple ritual, yet a nice reminder of displaying hanukkiyot for publicity, solidarity and the Miracle of Hanukkah. Hanukkah Sameach!

    Tuna melt on croissant with coleslaw
    Sandra F.

    Went to united bakers for father's day lunch, and despite it being busy we got a table right away! There's a lot of sitting inside, it's much bigger than it seems from the outside. Everything was so good. Especially the tuna melt on croissant, yum!

    The cheese blintz in question.

    I wanted to buy four pieces of cheese blintzes and they wanted to charge me $32! The size of a blintz is regular size, not even a large size. I have noticed the prices have gone way up but the quality has gone down. I really don't like to be gauged! I appreciate the response from Nathan L. However, a cheese blintz is $7.99 a piece Not $6.99 as you stated. Also, calling them "artisanal" doesn't make them more expensive!

    Blintzes
    Corey F.

    Great classic Toronto resturant. Amazing blintzes! Great tuna melts! Epic! Amazing service too! Plus, the fact that this place has been in business close to 100 years lends a epic feeling to it's atmosphere. It's a classic! A must try! Go in person if you can!

    Delicious and unique cherry Hamantashen. 
 100 years of European tradition in North York.
    Jan S.

    Enjoy the most delicious and authentic European-style bread and pastries of North York. United Bakery is family owned and kept 100 years of traditions. My favourite is the apple ball. Imagine a large and perfectly ripened apple wrapped in a crispy pastry. It's the ultimate casual treat paired with a good cup of coffee.

From the hostess to the waitstaff. All very polite and welcoming. We observed them with other guests and they seemed very patient with the loud kids...and adults to be fair. LOL We had the big skillet both days as well as the breakfast sandwich. While there were some variances, we enjoyed both experiences. The first visit was better in my opinion - the potatoes were tender and not overcooked and my fruit cup didn't have a lot of cantaloupe. I have shared pictures of the menu as well. We had sparkling water and diet cola both times. Our beverages never ran dry. There is an upstairs that overlooks the first floor dining area. We wondered if anyone had ever spilled a beverage that landed on guests below. We could definitely see the possibility of that happening. They also had a nice patio, however, on the hotter days, not sure how enjoyable the city smell would be while trying to eat. Interesting - they only had one bathroom. So we observed a line. And there are tables right next to the door. I would avoid those seats if possible. A little too close to the restroom in my opinion. If we are in the area again, we would definitely eat here again, although they may be at the new location if we visit in the future. I look forward to seeing the upgraded features at the new location.

Pierina guided us via phone and even came outside of the restaurant and waved as we approached. That was awesome Customer service as well as kindness. Ambiance was chill inside. Especially liked the artwork and table with their name on it. I had the Nutella latte, Nutella and strawberry waffle, and a side of sausage. Didn't like the sausage at all (tasted a bit gamey) but that's probably because ein the states there are nitrates, etc that make it taste better. No biggie! She switched it out for bacon, and that was fine and appreciated. My sister had the breakfast tacos that looked delicious and she really enjoyed. All in all this was a great pick and I would return when im Canada ever again and I'm in the area. Keep up the great work, Pierina. Her welcoming attitude attentiveness and knowledge of the menu was stellar and warrants recognition. Thank you!!!

The almond croissant, when you're lucky enough to claim one before nine, delivers a genuinely impressive balance of shattering, buttery layers and a filling laced generously with almond cream, more Parisian in spirit than most bakeries attempting the same feat across this city. Even the raspberry version, when available, carries the same confident hand in the kitchen. The coffee program deserves equal praise. A well pulled latte and a properly balanced cappuccino suggest a team that treats espresso with the same seriousness as their pastry case, and it shows in the cup. Where the experience finds room to grow is in the choreography of the space itself. The room is petite, charming in its cobalt blue framed way, but the flow between ordering and pickup can feel cramped during a rush, and seating fills quickly. The patio, however, is a genuine reward, a shaded perch worth claiming on a slow afternoon. This is a cafe operating with real ambition and skill, let down only occasionally by its own popularity. Arrive early, claim a croissant while you still can, and settle onto the patio; you'll leave understanding exactly why regulars keep coming back.

The potatoes were probably my favourite out of everything. It was good but not the traditional you would expect. My friends sadly did not like their eggs benedict. The coffee was also average, not very strong or fragrant. Service was absolutely terrible. Our sever took so long to come, we see him just chatting in the corner. It was hard to flag him down for anything. It was not a nice experience. The menu does have some other cool items I do want to try (pancakes and french toast)... so maybe I will give it another shot if I am in the area one day.

However, it really is a great atmosphere for dining, even if sitting inside. It is a bucket list destination at a minimum and worth a repeat imo.
