I frequently come here on groggy early mornings to catch the freshly churned bagels that pop out. Although they make bagels throughout the day, your best bet of catching a steamy one is early in the morning..As the saying goes about the early bird...
Also another reason for heading there at sunrise is the breakfast special they have on until noon. It's pretty unbeatable since for $4.39 you get a coffee and your choice of one of their various varieties of fresh bagels with cheese or egg. After having one bite, it's hard to go back to the frozen plastic ones from Tims.
The cream cheese that's made in house is also delicious and is whipped to perfection.
If you don't have a love affair with bagels yet, you might catch feelings after coming here.
