"Emerald City Bagels has come a long way from their roadside stand in Cabbagetown. Stepping through the door of their brick and mortar location in EAV feels like a portal into another era, with workers in white aprons and white paper diner hats, making seltzers in house (try the lemon basil and add a shot of ginger). The whole place is very ’60s, with a wooden counter that looks like a fanned-out accordion, and gold posts that hold up glass dividers over that counter. There’s a variety of bagels, cream cheeses, and bagel sammies, so grab one of their signatures like the classic bacon, egg, and cheese on an onion bagel or create your own with their variety of toppings." - Juli Horsford
