I'm normally not a bagel fan but this place was recommended by a friend so we decided to make stop when we stopped by Mile End. It's a cute little shop in the middle of a street and if you don't look hard enough you may miss it. The sign is not very eye-catching. However, just look for the people.
When we passed the place the first time, the line was long. When we came back the second time, there were less people and then we realized because the place was small so people had to wait outside. We ordered a sesame bagel and a garlic bagel. The service was very fast, there were a lot of people working behind the counter (they accommodated for their popularity).
The bagels definitely tasted different from the the New York style bagel here. The bagels were less chewy and I actually did enjoy it.
