    Baguette
    Joseph W.

    Come on! Gerry is the bakery King of Halifax. I dropped in for the first time yesterday but it will be a weekly routine for bagels, breads and desserts including the number 1 rated chocolate chip cookie in town. I cannot recommend it enough but arrive early as I suspect he sells out most days and I was lucky arriving in the afternoon to get his last baguette. Prices are amazing value and the freshness and quality simply unmatched!

    WHY IS EVERYONE NOT FILLING THIS SHOP ALL THE TIME? THEIR BAGELS ARE DELICIOUS! I'm a fan of focus. I like this place because they focus on one thing - bagels of a few different flavours - and do them very well. They're delicious, and just the right texture. I haven't had bagels this good since I lived down the street from a Jewish bakery in London. I'm worried that East Coast Bakery aren't going to last, though: their Quinpool location often looks empty to me (it probably isn't the perfect spot for foot traffic), they're doing some sign-spinning out front to get people's attention, and I've seen them give away free bagels at the south end Sobeys. I hope I'm wrong, and they're making a go of it, though. I'll keep buying bagels here. Note: 6 bagels minimum purchase.

    My little guy and I were walking on Quinpool when a guy offered us samples of fresh bagels with plain and smoked salmon cream cheese on them. Ah, yes please! The bagel bites were delicious. He also invited us in to have a tour of the bakery. My dude is into any kind of construction- even construction with food. He loved seeing the bright red industrial-sized mixer, bagel making machine (sorry, didn't catch the technical term) and huge shiny ovens. After juniour devoured the samples, I guilt-got a half-dozen to go for $4.65. Sesame seed were still in oven. Sure, I'll wait six minutes for my favourite. I chatted with some of the staff. Turns out the guy peddling samples is also the business owner/head baker. He was super friendly and talkative about his business. He even helped wrangle juniour for a moment since Quinpool Road can be busy. . The bagels themselves are fantastic. Very close to what I remember Montreal bagels being in taste but a little different in texture. They are a little more dense than Izzy's Bagels in Bedford. The owner said he doesn't want to duplicate Montreal bagels exactly; he wants to do a bit of his own thing. I appreciate that. The store is bright, open and super clean. The owner explained he wanted a "nothing to hide" approach when setting up the bakery. It would have been nice to sit down and enjoy the still warm from the oven bagels.They could use some kind of eat in area even if it was a couple tables. Hope this is in the works. The selection was pretty limited to three types: sesame seed, plain and poppy seed. It would be nice to see some more flavours. One of staff said they were going to try making Montreal steak spice bagel. Yes! I usually have to make the trek all the way to Izzy's for good bagels. Not any more. I look forward to getting my carb fix at East Coast Bakery.

    Chocolate Chip Cookie

    I have a Nut-Allergy which makes eating out difficult and getting anything at a bakery near impossible. When I found this place I was so happy to finally be able to get things without worry, or just to be able to get anything at all. The owner goes above and beyond, and is very knowledgeable about what's in the ingredients used. Everything is perfect, clean, and tastes amazing. Can't wait to go back!

    Clockwise from the top: Pretzel, sticky cinnamon, and all in one bagels.

    See all

    Amazing bagels, fluffy challah, tangy sourdough and excellent dog biscuits. Very dog friendly. The place is a local treasure.
