Finally I don't have to haul my ass over to Mile End anymore to buy fresh bagels!
I just found this place while walking back home from the library. It already has the hum of a very busy place and it's only been open for a little over a month. I saw breakfast specials posted on the hanging chalkboard, all the furniture is retro-used diner stuff, like the grommeted chairs and formica tables and practically every seat was taken up.
I didn't sit down for a proper breakfast or brunch but I plan to soon since the plates I did see people noshing off of looked great. Instead I picked up a half-dozen fresh-and-still-warm sesame bagels on the go. While St.Viateur bagels are a perfect 10 IMHO, I'd give these bagels a very respectable 7.5. They're fresh, warm and found in your own neighbourhood.
I'm sold.
