Fresh bagels can't be beat. These are from Gryfe's Bagel Bakery which are legendary. They have been around for 45 years and are an institution in TO. At their small premises on Bathurst Street they churn out approx. 10,000 bagels a day. Their bagels are perfect - crispy on the outside but light and fluffy on the inside. They have several different types -poppy seed, double poppy seed (my favourite!) whole wheat, sesame, cinnamon raisin and more...
The advertising agency I worked at used to bring these in for all employees on a Monday morning and by 10am box loads of these would be devoured. Staff used to hide extra ones at their desk to eat at lunch. And when we were young, we had lovely neighbours Mike & Mary who would leave a fresh, hot bag outside our door each Saturday morning (soo nice).
At Gryfe's, there is usually a queue on the weekends to get these fresh hot little rounds of goodness. People who think supermarket bought doughy bagels are great should make the trip to Gryfes to taste a really great bagel and see what they have been missing.
