The Great Canadian Bagel

I enjoy their food here but the hours are never within my time frame of work. Sometimes they don't even open when they say

This place used to be great. The bagels are undercooked, the staff unfriendly and the place was dirty. We went at 10 am and the bagel bin selection was almost empty. I can't recommend this place any longer.

I’m heading there now for breakfast and hope all these reviews are not as I read. I take a bagel with no veggies cus of stomach issues. Ajax puts in extra bacon instead of veggies lol. 5 stars for now until I return. 2stars now. K I’m back and I now know the difference between Ajax and this one, Ajax is tan by an older couple and they decorate the store and bring life into it with flowers/plants and the place is spic and span clean. Plus they are well lit and have soft music unlike this Pickering one. You still get your sandwich but not the cleanest at the seating area and looks like a dungeon lol why does it feel like you just opened but not really? And change your gloves. Why you touching iPad for the virtual order and then the meat? But then Again McDonald’s and others touch everything so…. There you have it. Sandwich YES but like grandmas basement feel YES.

Since the son of the owner took over this business, this is the worse place ever. I don't know why they post store hours. If it says 7: 30 am, go at 8: 00 am, if it says 8: 00 am, go at 9: 00 am. Terrible way to run a small business. I wonder what the Great Canadian Bagel franchise would say about this store.

I've been having a craving for bagel with cream cheese, salmon and capers. This bagel shop didn't disappoint. It was amazing. I also think I had a missed connection as well but that's another story.

The spinach bagel I had was SO good. I’m not even that big of a bagel person but it was so flavourful and fresh especially with the herb and garlic cream cheese I got it with. The staff were very friendly and helpful too! Overall really nice establishment and it was a delicious breakfast.

The bagel was good, but at just under $ 8 for a bagel with cream cheese is really expensive. To be fair it was a specialty bagel, but that seems to have a slice of cheese added to the top? Anyways too rich for my blood to come back here at $8 for a bagel with cream cheese

I've been a loyal customer of theirs for about 2 years now. I find it mind boggling that a number of these reviews criticize their pricing. Please consider this - these bagels do not arrive on a truck, pre-made and frozen. They are made DAILY and by hand - in other words made with LOVE hence why they taste amazing.every single time. Same reason why someone would be willing to purchase a $7 latte made by a barista rather than a $4 latte made by the pressing of a button and served up by someone who barely acknowledges your existence. You're not only paying for the product, you're paying for the experience.

If you are, or become a regular, you can expect superior service every time. They will learn your name, your order and shoot the breeze with you while you wait for your order. I'll pay the extra $2 bucks to have someone who greets me at the door and prepares my food with attention and care.

You guys rock!

I heard of this location and wanted to get some bagels, I live about 45 minutes from the his place so I called before I get there to make sure they have the bagels I wanted, a very pleasant guy named Bobby answer the phone and said they didn't have the bagels I wanted but he can get them ready in an hour. This is the kind of customer service is very hard to find. Good job Bobby thanks for your service stay safe!

I’d ordered specialty bagels from here 3-4 times and EVERY-TIME I’ve gotten a stale bagel. The Ajax location is WAY better.
