    Spilled fries

    rode, arrogant and disorganized service. we walked in with no signs indicating where to order and waited around for five minutes with no server to sit us down, resulting in us ordering from the product cashier instead. We asked TWICE to confirm if we could sit the the dinner area to enjoy our meal and the cashier repeated confirmed. However, when we sat down, the sever abruptly interrupted us and asked us to move. Basically kicking their own customers out to make space for other customers. is that not clear discrimination? we payed the same amount, more effort and was even willing to tip, yet the store deem and treat us less than other customers. They dared to blame us for not knowing even though there were no signs or other informations written. worst experience dinning out. ruined our day with their shit attitude.

    Variety of baked sweets open on display on shelves. There are bagels to select in the back and basic sandwiches, salads and drinks to order at the cash. We got half a dozen of mix bagels and they literally were just scooped out of the oven... so fresh! There were only 2 people in front of us in line, but it was a long wait to cash out. The lady doesn't seem very happy but was just doing her job. I was surprised that the bagels had sprinkled salt on top, I found that strange and it made it more like a pretzel. The texture was more like bread; fluffy and bun like instead of a chewy dense Montreal-style bagel. But the cheese boureka was delicious and flaky! Quality: average Service: sub average Ambiance: eh

    Rainbow bagel with lox and jalepeno cream cheese;

    Back at it again for my rainbow bagel! It was quite business in store around 8:30 am. I mean, the dining area was pretty empty with only one couple sitting in, but the small area for grab n' go was buzzing! I walked into the store to see at least 2-3 customers and after requesting my bagel, I look behind me to see another 2-3 people had come in after me. I did appreciate that everyone tried to keep their distance though. The man behind me was actually 1-2 m away + to be honest, I find that doesn't always happen around this area. Thankfully, with the busy store, staff and were quite efficient. The lady who made my bagel into a sandwich with jalepeno cream cheese + lox was clearly very new but this also meant she had more attention to detail. I actually got the right cream cheese this time! Which tends to be missed every other visit.

    What a Bagel's Bagel is A-OK.. better than Tim Horton. There are 2 areas, one is set up like a bakery with cookies, bread, bagels and made to order sandwiches to go. The other area is more like a sit down restaurant serving light sandwiches for lunches and breakfasts. The Breakfast Bagel ($6.99) with home fries was quite good.. bagel toasted crispy on the outside and soft and chewy inside. Coffee ($1.99) was not fresh... doesn't matter how many cream I add in, it is still bittery dark... hmmmmm The decoration is quite comfortable and overlooking the parking lot... But why that 1 star?? The waitress is one of the rudest one I have... after I asked for my bill.. I just want to finish my coffee.. and then she trying to make me leave so a group of 5 ladies can use my single table while half of the tables in the restaurant is empty.. I asked are you trying to kick me out.. she told me yes... WTF is this?

    $11 - Mushroom omelette with goat cheese, salad, and bagel with cream cheese. Very tasty.

    I think it's implied that these guys have very tasty bagels. Especially, when they're toasted with cream cheese...mmm They offer a decent breakfast menu, perfect for those lazy Saturday mornings when you want to go out for breakfast. This morning, I tried their mushroom omelette with goat cheese, salad, and toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese. While the vinegar salad dressing was rather unpleasant, everything else was tasty. I wish they used portobello mushrooms instead of white cremini mushrooms in their omelettes though. Service was good too. No complaints in that department. Overall, I like their breakfast/brunch selection, as well as their wide selection of pastries and cookies. There's plenty of competition on this plaza with Aroma and Cafe Landwer - both great alternatives for breakfast and brunch. What a Bagel holds up to these other places quite well IMHO. I definitely recommend this What a Bagel location as a breakfast venue, but Aroma and Cafe Landwer are also great options.

    Bagels!

    The best bagels in town! Very fresh, fluffy, soft, warm, and tasty! These are nothing like the packaged ones in supermarkets, it's a must try! This location doesn't have a lot of selection, however, unlike the old yonge street location (closed down recently). My personal favourites are the onion and cheese bagels, but this location had neither. They have more of the classics like sesame, plain, everything, etc. The service here is TERRIBLE. I went to checkout and I asked the cashier how much a loaf of bread was, she told me it was $4. I went to the tray to get a loaf and when I came back, she told me it's $4.49. She said it as if I wanted to not pay the extra $0.49. You tell me the wrong price and make it seem like it's my fault? 5/5 for bagel quality 2.5/5 for selection 0/5 for service

    My perfect breakfast - flat everything bagel with cream cheese (a little extra $), home fries and scrambled eggs with nana (mint) tea.
    Karyn B.

    Came here for Saturday morning breakfast with some family. Our server was very friendly and great with the kids. I had their breakfast special - bagel with house potatoes or salad and eggs of your choice My fave bagel there is the flat everything bagel Also had the nana (mint) tea A few at our table got the shakshuka, which is very tasty there One of the entrees (cheese blintzes) needed a little more time so she brought the child some small bourkeas so they could start eating too, which was very nice and our server brought a small birthday treat for me

    two pieces of french toast on a plate

    The French Toast was cold and tasted like egg. Would not recommend whatsoever. Asked for a side of fries and did not get that either.

    2 egg omelet, cream cheese, tomatoes and lettuce for $6.99

    I know it sounds snobby, but I am usually not impressed by chains. Chains just seem so "fake" and "uncreative" to me. Yet, a friend of mine could not stop talking about an amazing breakfast she had at What A Bagel in Vaughn. What a Bagel? Seriously? I was so confused, that it actually piqued my curiosity, and just had to check out their breakfast for myself. So I made the trek to the burbs to determine whether my friend was full of shit. First thought: Damn this menu is huge! Second thought: Ok, it all does sound delicious! Dammit! Our order I ordered two scrambled eggs with home fries, and twister bagel (twister bagel is extra) and a side of avocado. I am shocked that I did not order bacon! Total was $6.99 plus an extra 0.75 for the twister bagel and $1.50 for the avocado. Grand total of $9.24 before tax and tip. If I could do it again, I would have ordered sweet potato fries instead. The home fries were fine, but not memorable. My friend ordered the breakfast wrap with a croissant with a 2 egg omelet, cream cheese, tomatoes and lettuce for $6.99 and a side of soup (a side of soup would have been $3.99 but it must have been less if she was upgrading it from a regular side - can't remember the price for the upgrade). And OMG, the soup was ridiculously good! It was a carrot and ginger soup that I found so impressive, that I had to buy some to go. In fact, it was SO good, that I bought a special blender just to try to make it at home! Overall, I found that the portions were excellent, and our coffee was consistently refilled, and near the end of our meal we were given mini-chocolate croissant-like pastries on the house. Once we paid, I had a blast sticking around watching the bagels being made! Argh! I hate to admit it, but I really did like the brunch at What a Bagel, and I would return in a heart beat. The only unfortunate thing about chains is that they are not all the same when it comes to service and quality. A What a Bagel just opened near my office, and so far it has failed to meet my expectations. But I am optimistic that they will be able to work out the kinks over the next few months. And if they don't, I will cry.

    Service is very slow. I got the cheese blintzes and they weren't very hot, just warm. A lady beside me also had the cheese blintzes and the same thing with her. She even had to send them back to be warmed up more.

    Awful service on the bakery side. They were rude and basically threw our bagels at us. Definitely not returning.

    Just great sandwiches and sarachi fries amazing Always pick…read moreit up on my way back from Barrie and always worth the stop

    One of my absolute favorite spots for a quick bite even though it is almost never on the way but…read morewhen I can, I make the trip and have also introduced many family and friends to this place as well. It's a small spot but does have a decent amount of seating. Very casual in style, where you order and pay at the counter before seating yourself, and food is not served to the table so they call out your order for pick up. Menu is easy to follow: you pick a vessel and a protein, as well as your choice of toppings and sauces. You can also choose sides and drinks as well. They also have daily deals. My go-to is the HOLY SHRIMP as a SALAD bowl. I top it with cheese, caramelized onions, crispy onions, cucumber, southeast salsa, and sweet pickled cabbage. Their avocado cream is a must-have sauce and this time, I requested a little bit of their roasted peanut sauce as well. The shrimp will definitely have you saying "HOLY!" because they're so crunchy and flavorful. Not to mention, a really good size! One serving is about 5-6 large pieces of shrimp. The K.F.C. was the first protein I tried and is my second go-to choice. Service is always friendly and in general, the entire process is just so easy and convenient. I've also never had to wait long for my food, which I appreciate!

    Was in the neck of woods so came back to this California Sandwiches in Vaughan…read more The sandwich is just as good as before, nice tender veal, nice bite and crispness of the kaiser bun but it could have used more sauce in the sandwich. You can't go wrong with this location or any of their other locations. I've been going to their York Mills location and it is just as good if not better. This is the place or franchise that has a go to veal sandwich And I recommend any of you to try it. It won't disappoint Side note: their steak and onion sandwich is just as good and is a must try as well.

    All hot sandwiches offered, no cold cuts…read more All sandwiches made to order so a slight wait. They had Dr Pepper as a drink option which is nice. All female crew, let's hear it for the ladies Sandwich sizes either regular or mini with extra toppings (roppini, mushrooms, peppers, cheese, etc) at an extra cost. Deluxe version includes lettuce, tomato and mayo. Maybe it's me but it seems many sandwich shops are now charging extra for normally what was included lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc; baahh Ordered the regular steak & onions. Steak was thinly sliced in a tomato base sauce, more like a sliced beef sandwich instead of steak. Nice beefy flavor profile and the onions were firm. Gotta try their other sandwiches (meatballs, veal. chicken, eggplant) on my next visit to the neighborhood.

    Wowowow I'm so impressed…read more Lambo's Deli does sandwiches right. The moment I got my sandwich, I knew. From of the nostalgic paper bag. A sandwich that's packed TIGHT is packed right. No mess, no stress. That is serious business. The best part is, the ingredients taste so FRESH. As we were waiting, the friendly staff offered everyone free ice cream samples. It was 25°C sunny so it was much needed. No one refused! They're testing out flavours, so I think we will expect to see soft-serve ice cream on their menu in the near future! I got the Caprese sandwich and the fresh mozzarella was so refreshing! Geniusly, there was a layer of breadcrumbs added to my sandwich, which I found very humorous... b/c really? A bread byproduct inside of a sandwich? That was a first for me. But y'know what, the crunch element over the mozzarella was a really good pairing and it works! Also, the pesto was so fresh and good.. that I had pesto on my mind the next day and I just had to find something pesto for lunch again, the influence! Honestly, we did not have the intention of visiting Lambo's that day. We had walked past it on the way to another restaurant, but I remember this corner store with bold modern-80's decor caught my eye. After our original plans fell through, we stumbled back to this street corner which turned out to be a fantastic accident because we wound up loving Lambo's so much, we swore to come back to try the rest of their sandwiches!

    Lambo's Deli located at the corner of Queen St. E. and Greenwood Ave. is the sandwich's shop's…read moresecond location (first one being in the Trinity Bellwoods neighbourhood!). This small shop located in Leslieville serves up some great sandwiches in a space that is primarily take out only (although there are a few bar/counter spots if you'd like to eat there. They are also open daily from 11am to 9pm. Menu wise, there are 9-10 kinds of sandwiches to choose from. They are all served on a sesame kaiser roll and cut in half. You're also able to add on ingredients on top of the already selected ones in the sandwiches. Each of Lambo's Deli locations also have a special sandwich, where this time when I went, it was the crispy chicken club. They also have soft serve as well (rotating flavours!). I stopped by Lambo's Deli on a Monday morning before the lunch rush and opted to grab: - Italian trio sandwich (soppressata, mortadella, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, picked red onion, arugula, pesto, Calabrian chili spread) - $18 - Soft serve (flavour was hojicha) -$5 Service was friendly and I received my soft serve while waiting for my sandwich to be prepared. It took about 5 min and it was nicely packed. Staff were great and handed me a handful of napkins as well. I ate my sandwich an hour later and before opening the packaging, the sandwich was pretty heavy! Looking at a cross section of the sandwich, it was packed with ingredients! The Italian Trio sandwich was delicious. The roasted red peppers, pickled red onion, arugula, and Calabrian chili spread added freshness to the sandwich which didn't make it feel so heavy with all the deli meats inside as well as the mozzarella cheese. The sandwiches are big and I could only finish half for lunch. Overall, a delicious sandwich shop in Leslieville. Lambo's Deli definitely packs a lot of ingredients in their sandwiches which make for a tasty meal. Be warned, the sandwiches are huge! Also...don't miss out on their soft serve too!
