What A Bagel

They have a wide variety of bagels and other baked pastries for breakfast. They seem to have non-​breakfast sandwiches and bagels too but I’ve always been there for breakfast. The bagels are really good and sizes are generous. This is such a hidden gem though. I’ve lived 5min from them for years and went there for the first time a few months ago. Never really noticed them before.

There is nothing like the smell of freshly baked bagels, and the taste of cream cheese on a warm bagel Emmm! Dropped in to pick up bagels for lunch and was pleasantly surprised to find not just a bakery but a café were people were ordering eggs, smoked salmon with cream cheese on their choice of bagels. The lattes, apple strudel, cookies etc. all looked so yummy. The counter was filled with many fixings for sandwiches and an Array of fresh cream cheeses. Staff were friendly. I know were I’m heading for a wholesome breakfast next weekend…“What A Bagel”

What a great bakery, everything they offer is delicious and tasty. Even there coffee is good. My wife and I go there occasionally for a quick bite to eat and everything on the menu is good. You definitely won’t be dissatisfied with what-​a-​bagel! Check them out!

What a bagel has the best tasting bagels! They are really inexpensive as well 6 for $ 4 and 12 for $ 6. I really love this location because they sell a wide variety of bagels (and other baked goods which I don’t really get) and they have my favourite chocolate chip and blueberry bagels. If you’re looking to get or try a wide variety of different fresh bagels and pastries this is the place. They also have things like cream cheese and sandwiches which I have no desire trying, I just come here for the excellent bagels.

This chain is known for fresh, delicious tasting bagels; however, I will have to give this location 3 stars due to the service behind the counter…

What a Bagel? More like «What a Everything I want but can’t have cause I would get FAT».
Damn this place is a gem because it has everything! Sandwiches, cookies, bread, cakes, bagels, etc. etc.
Not only that but it’s so so so so so good. I’ve been spoiled folks!

What A Bagel not only has good selections of bagel, it is also a good place to grab some dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth.
A self served format where all the pre cut cake slices are displayed in a cooler/​fridge. Pre cut cakes though can get a little dry if been cut for awhile. Napoleon ($ 3.25) has quite creamy and smooth filling but the layer of puff pastries were a little soggy and stale.
The sit down area though quite nice but is reserved for table service during their busy hours till 3 pm.
I will be back again to this What A Bagel’s location if I am in the area to try out other offerings!
I want to see that conveyor belt in action and smell that wonderful freshly baked goods in the air!

The freshest, most delicious bagels around. The bagels are literally fresh out of the oven (you can grab them as they come out!). There is also a wide selection of pastries, all of which are fantastic.
Go in early in the morning when they have the most selection.
Excellent overall. Prices are good, as is selection. However, staff could be more friendly/​helpful.

What-​a-​bagel is known for their delicious bagels and other baked goods. Besides their bagels, I recommend the borekahs, especially the cheese/​olive one.
The only problems I have with this location is that they proof their bagels a little too much, which is fine for other people who like them like that, but I like my bagels to be thinner. As well, the counter staff are not very friendly.
I’ll probably come back, if I’m in the area.

$ 6 for a dozen tastiest bagels in the City. I cut them up and freeze them. They taste fresh when they thaw.
Great cheese and olive burakas and chocolate babka.
This place would get five stars if not for the unfriendly staff

It’s too long between visits to this Bagel heaven…
I have a new method now–
IN the BEGINNING I’d choose the bagel I had a craving for… mulitgrain, choco chip, everything…
THEN, I learned to hold my hands over the baskets and feel for the warmth to get a fresh one, but what’s NOT fresh?
NOW, I just grab a bag and hold it out under the ever-​magical-​wonderful-​bagel-​birthing-​conveyor belt and get the hot-​crusty-​squishy-​warm-​and– wonderful-ones…whatever flavor they may be.
:-)

This place has been around since I’ve lived in Richmond Hill. For people that live around here, there isn’t any other place to get fresher bagels… period.
The bagel varieties range from multigrain, sesame, poppy for your regulars, to chocolate chip, cinnimon raisin, and twisty bagels for your little more crazy ones.
They also have a bunch of cream cheeses that are also made at the store. I can tell you now, the cream cheeses are really good. The herb and garlic… seriously garlicy. PERFECT!
The best thing by far about this place is their magical bagel conveyor belt. On weekends they run it pretty much all the time and you can have your pick of minute fresh bagels (Try not to burn your tongue). The bad thing though is that they kinda stop constant production on weekdays after the morning rush… boo. So if you want really fresh bagels, go in the mornings or the weekends.
They also have some random pastries and stuff but I’ve only ever had one of their danishes… and it wasn’t really that good. Stick with the bagels… the store is named after them.

Delicious bagels and pastries, but I have stopped going ever since they implemented a silly seating policy. Now you have to order from a menu if you want breakfast and you’re not allowed to sit down if you just want to get a quick bagel yourself and enjoy it. Why do I have to wait to be seated and for a waitress to come by when the old system worked just fine?

Tuna bagel is the best for $ 4, plus a drink, they don’t like when you use the debit card for anything under $ 10, so, she was kind of rude, saying next time bring cash. I suggested they place a surcharge of .25, like many other places do, she just gave me a blank stare, russians lol.

It’s been renovated since I’ve been there last year. Sit down area like the Thornhill location. Good change.
Bake goods are excellent. Not so much a bagel fan so I frequent the pasteries. Cheese danish’s are the best here, same with their bourekas, potatoe knish’s.
The Napoleon (one of my favorites) wasn’t too fresh though. That was my only a disppointment.
Only comment is that they are pricey. I think they hiked their prices due to flour a little too much. Reduce it by about 15% it would be a little more reasonable. IMHO
