Neighbourhoods.

Al spent two years in Montreal in the 80s where he first discovered hand-made, wood-fired bagels. Authenticity is the key.

To create the exact same style, taste and texture, Al and his guys trained in Montreal at what is considered the spiritual home of the extraordinary bagel - Saint Viateur of Montreal. Between their 5 shops, Saint Viateur produce over 3000 dozen bagels per day - all hand rolled and baked in wood-fired stone ovens.

Our name came from our friends in New York at Avroko. We think it best describes our bagels. Not perfect circles, but perfectly tasty.
