| - Well I wasnt expecting this place in the Petsmart/foodbasics plaza! Its great for the people living in the area to have a breakfast place within earshot distance. Before walking in, I thought it was just a small walk-in startup establishment where you grab food and go. So because I want to support local business, I went in to give it a try. Well it turns out its a mid-sized sit down restaurant. Bagel World is a company that has been around for a little while and now they have made their debut in Markham.
Walking in, the area is very spacious, perhaps too much. The ceilings are very high, the lights are blueish and the walls are white. Its pretty plain jane and it isn't very warm and welcoming. It doesnt make you want to sit down, take off your coat and have conversation, but rather just keep your coat on, eat and leave. However...I usually consider both sides. It is a new location for them so maybe they have plans to fix up this commercialized unit into something more homey-feeling.
They do have decent prices on their food though. You cannot beat $4.99 for a breakfast that includes two eggs, homefries, 3 bacon or sausage and a bagel. At first when I saw it I was like WHAT IS THIS...I AM NOT PAYING $12 FOR THIS (the usual price of a breakfast), then I remembered again that it was $4.99. Incredible value for the food you get. I was actually full by the end.
About the breakfast:
The eggs are large and so the two that they serve is enough. I was not too big a fan of the bacon though as the pieces were flat and seemed unfresh. Usually if bacon is fresh you can tell. The homefries was the star of the meal. They tasted similar to a sour cream and onion chip so that was pretty tasty. Lastly, the bagel I had was OK..not oustanding like you would expect from a place called "bagel world", but atleast it wasn't stale or anything.
So, in the end, I received a $15.00 bill for two breakfasts and two refillable coffees...like whaaat? Friends, if you would like a value meal for breakfast, try out bagel world.
OH, its also worth mentioning that they make all kinds of other breakfast/brunch foods. Pancakes, sandwhiches, soups etc.
