this place is the real deal - a hidden gem. authentic wood fired bagels, the owner hails from montreal where he grew up working in a bagel shop. this is a family owned joint with their main location in kitsilano open 24 hours, located in the mini strip mall on cornwall just after the burrard street bridge. the bagels are fantastic. smaller and denser than what you might be used to, they are healthier too! they have tons of great bagel flavours, from rosemary rocksalt to sesame pumpernickel and wholewheat blueberry and more. their chocolate walnut rugolach is the best in town. their cream cheese is delicious and all low-fat. they make the bagels in-house with a big brick wood fire oven and they don't add preservatives, they keep the ingredients simple and whole. a great place to stop on your way to kits beach to pack a lunch or snack with you. they have daily deals and breakfast specials all the time, plus you can buy ingredients like lox, cream cheese and a dozen bagels and take home. just awesome.
