Advice: spend over $5 to use debit, otherwise it is cash only. Get the Sesame or Poppy bagels within minutes after coming out of the firewood oven.

At this local outpost for Siegel’s located inside Granville Island Market, the line-up forms with people asking for their favorite bagels or baked goods. My favourites here are the warm Cream Cheese filled Bagels ($3.50) made with sweetened ricotta cheese, personally my favourite from the line-up of Montreal style bagels ($ .95) are the wholewheat sesame and the rosemary rock salt. You can also get the bagels with a variety of cream cheese shmears and you can get packages of Lox from the fish vendor who is less than 15 feet away.
