Gryfe’s Bagels is as iconic to Toronto as wood ovens are to Montreal. Gryfe’s has been serving fluffy, light and tender bagels since 1957. Gryfe’s has to be doing something right as lineups still stretch around the block for fresh bagels on Sunday mornings. A crowd favourite is the pizza bagel, which is not, in fact, a bagel, but a rounded dough slab covered with a sweet tomato sauce and hints of cheese — pop one in the toaster, and it will forever change how you snack. Gryfe’s is not a fancy place, which is what makes it so dependable. It churns out 1,000 bagels a day in addition to smaller baked goods, so longtime customers who have favourites know they can always get them.
