Definition of a great mom & pops hidden gem bakery. Aside from super fresh bagels sandwiches, they offers a huge variety of baked goods. My favourite would be the pecan tart. My go to is the tuna bagel sandwich, for the price you can't really beat it. It is hard to tough decent bakery with good price these days, so come check this place out ! read more

Happy Bagel Bakery - Pecan tart - Bakeries Near Me - North York, Ontario

I've been coming to this location for over 10 years. It's a small place in the corner of an old plaza. When you pull up, you'll be greeted by the smell of delicious baked goods. Parking is sometimes tight, but mostly, there's a spot. Service is fast. The good thing is, they will always have fresh bagels. Being made all day, every day. Quite a variety of flavours too. They're pretty mid, but alright when priced for a dozen. When it comes to the rest of the baked goods, at first, I thought they were reasonably price and generous, but over the years, total shrinkflation. The bagel sandwiches especially have becomes so pricey for what they give. I also would not say they are the most hygienic place when it comes to the cream cheese / salad bar. It is what we have in this neighbourhood though, so it's just the convenience of location. read more

The positives: almost everything is wrapped. This, I like. Meh bagels. No desired chew. Crust was ok. Tasted highly mass produced. The Bad: HORRID clientele - one woman who was buying nothing and not looking where she was going almost tripped me. No apology, no reaction. Paid at cash register - lady with cream cheese on her fingers handed me my change. No thank you when I paid. I'll pass on this place in the future. If you're not a known regular, their attitude is f*** you. Nope. Nope. read more

I've visited this location twice and have had some hits and misses. The Bagels: On one occasion the Everything Bagel was fresh, light and the perfect combination of fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The pumpernickel bagel was stale on two different occasions. I bought my dad one and he said it wass hard as a rock the day after I bouGht it. II bought one a few days later for mmyself and it was also hard as a rock. I'm not sure if the recipe isn't tooo great or it was just a batch of old bagels but it left us unimpressed. Desserts: I purchased a small cherry pastry and it was really good. It was flaky and had the right amount of filling. Would I Return? Possibly but I might test some other bagel stores before going back. read more

Good bagels. The cream cheese was delicious. It is nice to walk in the morning and see the conveyor belt of fresh bagels coming out. read more

The interior is nothing to look at, but it is clean inside and looks good for an older building. A great variety of pastries and bagels here; the person that I assume was the owner is very cute and recommended the Cheburek to me and it was very yummy! I also got a poppyseed danish and a chocolate danish; both were very good. I would return if I am ever in the area again. read more

I frequently come here on groggy early mornings to catch the freshly churned bagels that pop out. Although they make bagels throughout the day, your best bet of catching a steamy one is early in the morning..As the saying goes about the early bird... Also another reason for heading there at sunrise is the breakfast special they have on until noon. It's pretty unbeatable since for $4.39 you get a coffee and your choice of one of their various varieties of fresh bagels with cheese or egg. After having one bite, it's hard to go back to the frozen plastic ones from Tims. The cream cheese that's made in house is also delicious and is whipped to perfection. If you don't have a love affair with bagels yet, you might catch feelings after coming here. read more

See all

I've been going here on Sunday morning with my family for several years now and everything tastes phenomenal. The bagels are always fresh (you can see them roll out the machine!) and their cream cheese is to die for. Their mini pastries are also delicious. I can't pick a favourite but I often get the spinach pastry, the feta and olive pastry, and potato and mushroom pastry. Prices here are incredibly reasonable, which is why we keep coming back over and over again. Highly recommend! read more

These bagels are so fresh. Love coming here. It definitely does not have that contemporary style that's trending now adays. But definitely as a quick stop I'd venture here. It's always busy for such a quiet neighborhood. Half dozen is four dollars. They have some baked good that are decent too read more

This place will over charge you if you don't pay attention. I am a big fan of supporting small business, but not when they rip you off. I visited this place on March 28th, 2022 at 9:30am. I got a plain bagel toasted with butter (which was burned by the way), with 2 slices of swiss cheese, 1 slice of tomatoes and 1 small piece of lettuce. I was charged $5.89 CAD. When i referred back to the menu this combination should have cost me around $4 CAD. Overpriced as F*&%. As for the bagel itself, it was mediocre at best! My advice, if you visit this place make sure you check your receipts. read more

Every time my mother have been there and it's since they opened it's been a wonderful experience from the fresh bagels, sandwiches with smoked salmon and cream cheese to the cream cheese which contains salmon to the various desserts etc. Very reasonable in price for the area read more

The bagels are always great! I love plain , sesame and Cinnamon-Raisin. They're always fresh and reasonably priced. This is the best bagel I've bought in Toronto. read more

A gem located close to where I live. We discovered this place 2 months back and have been 4-5 times already. The bagels, sandwiches, pastries are always fresh, there have been times where I've picked up breads straight out of conveyer. The employees are friendly. read more

Bagels in Toronto are so disappointing and this place is exemplary of the mediocre nature of big uninteresting bagels. More like bread in a donut form factor, the bagels here lack the chewiness on the inside, and a defined crust. Flavour...totally lacking. Will never return. Head south and get real bagels from Gryfe's. read more

I like going to Happy Bagel because it's healthy and fresh. I would rather grab a bagel from here than at a fast food restaurant, any day! They have a whole wall of bagels of all flavours. The best are the sesame, pumpernickel, and blueberry ones. If you come in the morning they're usually nice, warm, and soft. Their flakey pastries full of cream cheese, olives, and potatoes also make a yummy snack! Their strudels are great too, I usually take one with me before I got to a friend's house. I enjoy their egg salad bagels, minus the fact that if you pick more than 3 toppings there's an extra charge. Their food is generally pricey, but that's the price you pay to support local restaurants. Their seating area is a bit stuffy, because the window there is covered. Also their murals are very tacky and dated. I feel like if they uncovered the window, and added some nice plants, it would give it a new fresh feel. I never eat my food in there for that reason. Their biggest plus is the parking. Come in the mornings before 11:00 to avoid all the high school students. I hope Happy Bagel is at Finch and Bathurst for years to come! read more

one of my favourite bakerys. They make their own bagels 100% fresh everyday. In the morning I always get them still warm or hot right out of the oven. These are east european owners - so the bagels are different from montreal style bagels. they are more "bread like" inside. They are not the light bagels you get at the supermarkets. They are definitely different but still great tasting and most importantly, fresh! They also sell sandwiches and coffee and have small dining area. They have other pastries like danishes, croissants, apple pies, bourekas - all of which i love, and all cooked fresh. Highly recommend. BUT GO IN THE MORNING. By 3pm there is not much left in the way of FRESH goods. Plenty of parking in the plaza too. read more

I really love there bagels and creme cheese and everyone is nice great service I will always come back

Can't comment on whether it is Montreal style, Toronto style or what have you but the place is really cool and the bagels are really tasty. It may be "bready" but it is not heavy and felt really light to eat despite the size. The staff are nice, and the coffee if you choose to purchase is twenty times better than Tim's. I want to go back for sure. read more

Excellent bagels. They are baking continuously, so always fresh.

The bagels & baked goods in this bakery are great. However, I was there this afternoon & as I was grabbing my bagels I stepped on a paper bag that was on the floor. I did not drop this bag. An unpleasant girl gave me a dirty look, proceeded to pick up the dirty bag and put it back for someone else to use!!! Why would she not toss this paper bag that had been stepped on is beyond me!! I went up to the cashier(another unpleasant girl) and told her and my comment was dismissed. I feel sorry for the next person who used this dirty bag to collect their bagels. Needless to say, I will not be coming back here. read more

I ordered a bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon spread. A thin 2 mm layer of the spread (cream cheese containing smoke salmon fragments) was applied to the bagel for which, had I remained, I would have been charged $7.60 (incl HST). I was hungry, so after discussing it with the owner (who shrugged), I left the bagel with her and drove 3 minutes further north on Bathurst to Saint Urban Bagel, where for 5.50 (incl HST) I enjoyed a bagel with cream cheese and actual slices of smoked salmon. No comparison. read more

My hangover haven. Order the B.E.L.T bagel with a little mayonnaise and boom. You're back to life!

I have grown up in the Finch and Bathurst area. I watched my local Royal Bank Close down and it became a bakery shop specializing in Bagels. Yes, this is not a dense doughed bagel, it is a fluffy bagel which I really enjoyed. I actually prefer my bagels to be fluffy. I have written a blog about this place: http://resturantfoodreviews.blogspot.ca/2013/08/happy-bagel.html read more

The food is good, fresh, warm but it is also pricey. A bagel with turkey, 3 veggies (limited variety), a coffee and a cookie cost me 11$.... so not worth it because even after all that, I was still hungry!! read more

I love happy bagel bagel sandwiches but I hate the inconsistency in pricing. Sometimes "the bagel sandwich combo" includes the price of veggies and coffee and sometimes it doesn't. Every time I go I get charged differently. Not worth it to spend $12 on a bagel sandwich and coffee... even if I love fresh bagels. read more

Love this bakery. Everything is made on site. The bagels are nice and light, and they have a variety of tasty pastries. Service is fast and friendly. read more

I have visited lots of bakeries in the area but this one by far takes my heart. They have a good variety of bagels, buns, cakes and other baked sweetness. If you are up for a break, you can fill your bagel with fresh vegetables, cream cheeses of all sorts, meats, fish, and anything you could imagine your breakfast with. If you are up in a hurry or on a mission to feed you office colleges, you will be offered bagels by dozens (every 12th dozen is free) and cream cheese to go! Coffee and tea are there as well. Place also offers a small sitting are that feels warm, but often busy. A breakfast for two including two bagels with lox cream cheese (it is good!), two big baked pieces of sweetness and two coffees will cost you around 15$ + 2 drinks for free. Great place for a morning breakfast. read more

OMG best apple cream cheese strudel I've ever had!!! A dinner guest brought the strudel to my house years ago and I've been buying them ever since for family, friends and co-workers. Your guests will definitely be impressed if you serve them this. read more

Wonderful bagels and yummy pastries! Lots of variety and always so fresh. Great prices too.

Driving down Finch on the way to the 400 when I spotted the sign Happy Bagel. Yes! We immediately turned the corner and pulled into the lot. OMG. I haven't seen such wonderful looking Danish pastry since leaving Montreal in the 70's. YUM!!! Lots of cheese danish to choose from, large, small, with/without fruit and heavy with the generous amount of cheese they use, and the wonderful light lemony glaze over top. Oh boy. I brought home half a dozen different ones, plus 2 potato bournekas (sp?) for supper, ate a cheese danish there along with a GREAT cup of coffee. I'm fussy about coffee and this was a really good cup of fresh made coffee. I had already had lunch so couldn't sample the sandwiches which looked delish too. Highly recommended! - They also have fresh baked bread, most notably Challah, the Jewish egg bread. Yum again. Yes, we brought one of those home too. This place is now bookmarked on my GPS! Oh, and service is friendly, fast - welcoming... and they do have a small group of tables and chairs where one can enjoy the food and eat in. read more

The bagels are always fresh and warm, and they have a great selection of baked goods. Have been coming here since they opened and hope to continue doing so for many years. read more
