| - Guys. I just love What A Bagel, what can I say? As far as bagel places go, it's nowhere near the level of St. Viateur or Fairmount in Montreal, so it simply must be measured on a level of its own. The bagel selection is diverse (my personal fave is the good ol' Everything Bagel, but I've been known to enjoy a Pumpernickel or Sesame now and then). Where What A Bagel really shines is in bagel sandwich art. The egg salad, cream cheeses, and other accoutrements are top notch. Personally, I like the chive cream cheese + tomato + salt and pepper combo (keep it simple, y'know?). Whenever my husband and I go up north, there is a mandatory stop at What A Bagel for these bagel sandwiches. Another reason to look forward to summer. Also, their bourekas are deeeelish.
One thing I will say against What A Bagel, which bumps this review from a 4 to a 3, was the recent implementation of their revised Birthday Offer. Previously, you could get a FREE DOZEN bagels on your birthday!! Whatt!!! Yes, it's true. Obviously this WAS too good to be true, as they have now modified it to a free half dozen.... with the purchase of a half dozen. Sigh. I mean, I am sure they were getting slammed by that free dozen birthday offer, but it's just disappointing for us true What A Bagel fans.
Anyway, What A Bagel, I can't stay away. See you soon.
