There is no doubt United Bakers is a neighborhood institution and somewhat of a unique establishment in Toronto.
I first checked out UB on Christmas day for brunch when no other place in town seemed to be open! Other than the large portions, the egg dishes were not extraordinary in any way, although I was quite impressed with the French fries (they were McD's style!) and the availability of honey dew!
What I personally liked about UB besides the old school feel was the bakery counter. UB bakes THE best Challah bread I have had in Toronto by quite some distance. The density, texture and taste of the Challah has clearly been perfected over many years, I suggest you try it here.
Aside from the Challah, the rye bread was also fresh and tasty and the poppy seed danish (pictured) was out of this world! I will stay away from the donuts next time as they were a bit too greasy and not that special!
Other notes are that there is a quick turnaround and the wait time from brunch is not too bad, and I experienced decent service during my visit.
