About Mile End Bagels

Wood-fired and blistered with a chewy, dense crumb, Mile End Bagels delivers Montreal-style dough right on Johnston Street. Fans bypass standard weekend brunch queues for the brisket pastrami layered with cream cheese, hot ’n’ sweet mustard, and pickles. If you lean classic, the No. 8 on an everything bagel hits with smoked salmon, avocado, and tomato. Limited seating makes indoor dining tight during weekend peak rushes. Regulars take their brown paper sacks and cold brews around the corner to Carlton Gardens for an easy park picnic.

  • Wood-Fired Bake: Baked over wood fire for an authentic crust, springy crumb, and blistered chew.
  • Hearty Fillings: Stacked high with brisket pastrami, pickles, and hot ’n’ sweet mustard, or smoked salmon and avocado.
  • Monthly Specials: Rotating sweet and savory creations feature alongside the core board each month.
  • Takeaway & Picnics: With compact seating indoors, orders are packaged quickly for an easy park lunch.

  • Brisket Pastrami Bagel

    The Brisket Pastrami, Hot ’n’ Sweet Mustard, Cream Cheese & Pickles bagel was loaded with savoury brisket, which went perfectly with the sweet mustard and tangy pickles

  • Egg Salad Bagel

    I ordered the No. 5 on a Poppy Bagel with egg salad, tasty cheese, and green tomato chutney. The green tomato chutney was absolutely outstanding and tied all the flavours together perfectly.

  • Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese

    I ordered a small hot latte and an Everything Bagel with cream cheese. The bagel had a fantastic texture—soft, slightly chewy, and pleasantly springy, with a subtle sweetness that paired beautifully with the cream cheese.

While the core lineup includes favorites like the brisket pastrami, smoked salmon, and egg salad with green tomato chutney, the shop also features limited monthly sweet and savory specials that tend to sell out early.

Mile End Bagels is open every day from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM (Monday through Sunday). Note that peak morning and weekend rushes often bring lines and limited seating.
