Bagel Cafe

I went here & tried my first ever Touton. It was delicious, soft & fluffy, not greasy at all. The crab cakes were nice and thick, plenty of crab pieces. Egg, hollandaise & beans as well all paired very nicely together. Even though the place was busy the service was still fast & efficient. Staff were lovely & helpful. Would recommend to anyone visiting St Johns. It was great getting some traditional Newfoundland cuisine

First time there and First Impressions were awesome! The Cafe is incredibly cozy and clean! Everything well placed and organized! The decor is so awesome, love the lighting! Had their Fish Cakes breakfast and it was well prepared and gorgeous! Hungry going in and full coming out! Well done to the staff there! Definitely a return is in the works! Yum!

BEST POTATOES EVER! such an incredible spot. the decor is out of this world. Food is great, worth the wait if there’s a line out the door. only thing to note is their toutons are deep friend instead of pan friend, but still good.

Best little breakfast place in St. John’s!! Hot chocolate was out of this world good. Large portions, just delicious. Great service and lovely atmosphere.

Amazing food here! Dined here 3 times. First day had the Touton crab cake breakfast with beans and molasses. Very tasty and interesting dish, nice chewy bread texture that goes well with the beans and crab cake. Lobster egg Benedict’s had nice chewy flavourful lobster with a nice creamy hollandaise sauce. You get lots of potatoes with the dishes, generous portion which you can share one dish with. Second day came for the lobster dinner. Tasty steamed lobster served with garlic butter ( lobster was tasty without the butter ). Got one with fries and one with salad. Got the snow crab after too because why not. Tasty meaty crab; Newfoundland snow crab has a distinct sea salt taste to it, nice chewy, tender meat. Third day had fish cake breakfast and crab cake Benedict’s with smoked salmon. Both delicious cakes, crispy and chewy inside and great smoked salmon ( not too salty). Got the seafood chowder too just to try and it was good as well, full of cod, salmon and mussels, and vegetables. Generous portions here at a great price. Last day they were short staffed but did a great job serving everyone. Come early especially on weekends as there was a line up outside as we left. One the only breakfast places that open at 7Am.

Came here for a late breakfast. Luckily for us, they serve breakfast all day! There are a lot of great items to choose from this menu with a really great variety of flavors. We kicked off with a couple alcoholic drinks. We got the Perogi breakfast and the featured Manu item with the Toutone, Beans, and fish cakes. Both were really great. This location is not dog friendly because they are fully enclosed. The vibe is nice downstairs but they have additional seating upstairs too.

Having seen reviews to this restaurant, I wanted to try the toutons. In my opinion, it was similar to a deep fried dough. It did give a good complimentary texture to the savory bean and crispy bacon. I would rate the presentation 10/10. However, the quality is 8/10. Fruits were fresh and plentiful. The service was great and attentive. I went after the busy lunch service (2pm) and was served no more than 10 minutes of ordering. Would recommend a try!

The Missus and I had lunch and dinner at the Bagel Cafe during our St. John’s visit. Lunch was hectic but we managed to be seated relatively quickly. Tables are a bit cramped and hallways a bit tight. The lighting was also a bit dark. However, maybe that was the ambiance being strived for. The food was above average and prices in line with other local eateries in the area. Initially my breakfast came with missing eggs but was delivered by the server on a separate plate. The Missus enjoyed her turkey bagel sandwich and pasta salad. Despite the name Bagel Cafe, there are many other options on the menu and is worth a visit.
