This is my favourite place to go on a weekend morning for a sit down breakfast. It's cozy, smells amazing and, although I'm a bit biased because I've been coming here for years, I love the atmosphere and is one of my favourite places in the city.

The service can sometimes be a bit slow, so I never go when I'm in a rush, which is why weekend mornings although busy are my favourite time to come. I haven't had a bagel I don't like, they're always fresh in the morning (I can't speak for evenings, though I'd expect some bagels to get a bit stale since they're sitting out in the open all day if they aren't bought).

Cadman's is something we splurge on a bit - we usually buy a dozen bagels for the next week while we're here. We try and combine chocolate chip + something else, but often we end up getting a dozen only chocolate chip bagels. Other favourites: lemon cranberry, everything bagel, onion or garlic bagels. Even the plain ones are fantastic though and i'd go home with a dozen of those. One thing I wish they did was cut bagels when you buy a dozen or so to take home, since they can be difficult to cut yourself if you don't have a bagel cutter. I just use a kitchen knife which works fine, but I'd recommend cutting them all as soon as you get home because as they get older they do get harder which makes them more difficult to cut. We split them half and half in the freezer bags they provide and keep 6 out on the counter and 6 in the freezer for later in the week.

I'd recommend just about anything on the menu, but my favourites include: the Breakfast Bagel (egg, bacon, cheddar + mayo), the Turkey Bagel (turkey, lettuce, tomato, mayo, olives + pickle on the side) and finally a chocolate chip bagel with plain or blueberry cream cheese.

Obviously I am a huge fan of Cadman's (as well as when they were Kettleman's) and will keep coming back until they close.
