Wayne’s Bagels

Wayne’s Begals has a booth at the Crossroads Farmers Market of off Blackfoot trail.
Great Begals, remind me of Montréal
Get there early as the selections go fast.
Cash only

Wayne’s Bagels has a stand at the Symons Valley Ranch Farmer’s Market Fri-​Sun and we stop by every weekend that we remain in town. They are GOOD!
You can always get a free sample with a smile from the lovely girl that works there. Get there early for your choice as the bagel varieties do tend to run out but at the end of the day, with what is left they make assorted bags of 6 for $ 5. A great deal. They also freeze well.
We recently tried the chile cream cheese for take-​home and it was really good. The plain one is creamy goodness and I recommend that one also.
Being from Ottawa I do know a thing or 2 about a couple of things — poutine is 1 and bagels is 2^nd.
Nothing beats a chewy Montréal style bagel with a tiny hint of sweetness.
These guys do it right and the service cannot be beat!

Wayne’s bagels are the real Montréal style deal. Chewy and not as heavy & bready as the usual bagels you get in Calgary.
The only negative is that their retail/​eating location isn’t that awesome. It is dark and occasionally the food isn’t quite what you hoped. (Toasted bagel that is barely warmed, etc).
Overall, if you have a hankering for a bagel, definitely stop in here for a dozen and a container of your favorite schmear.

I happened to drive past Wayne’s bagels as I was running some errands the day before a weekend camping trip.
Wayne’s is a fairly small location, but they make their bagels in their bakery on-​site. The bagels are made fresh daily in a large range of flavors. These aren’t your super market variety– huge, bready, full of preservatives kind of bagel. They are fresh, Montréal style (slightly dense, with a bit of a sour flavor). I don’t think I’ll buy a bagel in a Calgary grocery store ever again!
I didn’t stay to eat, but it looked like they had several sandwich and toasted bagel options. There are only ~3 small tables available for dine-​in though.
They have great deals for day-​old bagels. I was able to just get ½ a dozen for $ 3… And they threw in 2 additional fresh bagels for free! It made an awesome, quick, no-​cleanup camping breakfast: bagels, (lightly toasted on the grill) with lox. Delish!

I continually go to Wayne’s for my bagels. They are so good and I love all the sesame seeds. They are piled on. This is my second review on Wayne’s. Since I’ve been going they have cleaned the place up a bit so I have given it an extra star. They are always friendly. But this place is in serious need of a renovation.

My boyfriend’s family is from Montréal and there is ONLY one place in town where they buy their bagels and it happens to be Wayne’s Bagels. I had never tried the delicious goods until just recently, and now that I’ve had them, nothing else will do!
Wayne’s bagels was established in 1997 and is owned by Wayne & Helen Kim. Wayne & Helen make it a point to ensure their bagels are the authentic Montréal-​style — chewy and dense, oh and good to the very last bite!
Whether you fancy cinnamon raisin, marble rye, walnut and almonds or plain ol’ multi-​grain, Wayne’s Bagels are THE best bagels in town. Trust me though, once you start, you wont be able to stop. But hey, there are worse addictions in life aren’t there ;)

I am addicted to Montréal smoked meat, and sacrilegiously (to smoked meat lore, that is) I like it with bagel instead of rye. Now that I’ve alienated all the Montrealers, I can say that Wayne’s Bagels is one of the best places to get a hot bagel and smoked meat sandwich in Calgary. Top two for a fact. It is really, really tasty and you can order specific toppings, not just mustard and a pickle. It is so good that it can even compare to some of the lesser Montréal joints, which is saying a lot. It’s no Fairmont, but it’ll do.
There are also a ton of hot, fresh Montréal-​style bagels and accoutrements to go. Plain, sesame, others that I personally don’t care about… Short of living in Montréal, this is the closest thing to perfection in bagels and meat that you can get in Calgary.
