Bakery
What A Bagel
I like to jumpstart my day by eating What A Bagel’s mouth-watering baked goods, along with the coffee I will be mentioning below.
Munching on their decadent bakery staples such as bagels, bread, buns, butter tarts, croissants, cinnamon rolls, cookies, Danish, and a pretzel is what gets me through the day.
Situated at 10815 Bathurst St., it is impossible not to overeat at this bakery because What A Bagel has everything for everyone.
