What a Bagel

A beautiful Sunday morning, weather is like summer already and for Canadians, we have been waiting for this weather for months. So of course, today, all the patio seats were packed!! I’ve passed by this place numerous time but finally decide to try it out. The place have both a take-out and dine-in. There was lots of people standing around waiting for take-out. We didn’t have to wait long to grab a table. But then, that’s when the waiting begins. There was lots of staff running around, but no one seems to see us sitting here .. we finally track down a person but because she doesn’t take orders, she had to go find another person. Finally, probably about 10 minutes in, someone took our order. Waiting for the food was again another long one. We didn’t get complicated food, just eggs and bagels but it took over 30 minutes before the food arrived.

The manager was around later on and probably that made the food order came faster, if not him directing the staff, maybe our food might take even longer. At least he told them to pour us more coffee while we wait. Finally, after starving for awhile, the food came. I had the BLT breakfast on sesame bagel – scrambled eggs, cheddar, turkey bacon, lettuce, tomato, sundried tomato pesto mayo, and the sweet potato fries. The fries was freshly made, still hot off the stove. Very tasty, no ketchup needed. The bagel was good, thick layer of scrambled egg (but it was a little over cooked), turkey bacon (a lot healthier). My friend had the eggs benedict and the egg was poached perfectly soft on top of fresh English muffin.

The food was good but the wait for the food was very long. Might consider just doing take out next time if I come back.
