Kiva's Restaurant & Bakery

One of my favourite cozy brunch places. It’s very local and always busy. The owner, Steve, is such a lovely guy. They also have a bakery, so you can eat and get your bagels to go as well. My favourite food here is omelette it’s usually very fresh and simple. Highly recommended.

Came here for the all day breakfast meal, left very satisfied with the quality of breakfast served here, along with the cheerful owner and staff that just impacts your day positively. Me and my buddy arrived late at around 3pm when the restaurant section was already closed, yet the team was more than happy to accommodate by serving us food from the restaurant menu while we sat in the bakery section. I got the Eggs Benedict on a sesame bagel with spinach and lox smoked salmon on it while my buddy got the California breakfast set that came with a toasted bagel, fresh cream cheese, avocado slices, tomato slices and scrambled eggs. You definitely cannot go wrong with the fresh hand rolled bagels here. Furthermore, the fresh cream cheese was the crowning glory of my buddy’s breakfast set. I loved the Eggs Benedict, although the lox was a bit on the saltier side as opposed to what a plain smoked salmon would be. However, the portions of salmon provided were generous. I also got the Israeli salad with my breakfast set which I was impressed by how well seasoned it was, along with its generous portion size, freshness of the vegetables used, along with the variety that offered not just a soothing crunch but a cooling feel to the summer heat. Their refillable coffee is on the stronger side, something which I appreciate, especially when paired with their toasted bagels. I am looking forward to be a regular patron of Kiva’s bagels for not only their healthy spread of delicious food at market prices but also for their warmth hospitality by the staff and owner here.

Got a bagel, cream cheese, and lox. The bagel lacks a sweetness that I prefer from places like Gryfe's. It was decent though and the cream cheese and lox is delicious. The garlic part of this everything bagel could be more pronounced. Their eggplant parmesan is a fantastic value. Very dense, chock full of eggplant, but I found the cheese to have a weird taste. Tasted very processed. Still a good deal though given the amount and overall good taste. The service is excellent.

I’ve passed by this place for decades and not stopped in. Today I decided to pop in. You walk in through a deli and then restaurant. I sat at the coffee bar and had the Shakshouka with a bagel. It was very good however definetly had some spice mostly garlic onion and I think bay leaf. I enjoyed it. Had every last drop. For $15 with with the bagel I thought it was good value. I was sort of worried about wandering into a retirement home diner but there are all slices of life here. A lot of regulars, which I think proves this establishment

Very friendly and helpful staff and the food is fresh and delicious, reasonable price for breakfast and my bagel was fresh and tasty. I have my new spot for breakfast on the way home from work.

Not as good as it used to be. Bagels are underbaked to my taste. Portions are very large. Had blintzes and latkes. Both were okay but neither was better than homemade. Lots on new items on the menu.

Where do I begin? This place has been a round for a while! I remember when I was a kid and I used to come here with my mother. This place was fantastic then and it still fantastic today! Great atmosphere and attention even when they’re packed. The food is great! The matzah ball soup it just like mom used to make and the different fish spreads with bagel are an amazing combination of flavours

I have been eating the same thing for breakfast for the last few years a tuna scoop with a bagel and tomato slices. I usually go to bagel world becuse it's closer. The other day I went back to kivas and the first thing I noticed was the bagel was amazing a huge difference in the quality of taste in the bagel. It's hard to explain but it was crispy the outer part had a flavor and crunch that was instantly noticeable.

The food is average. The ambiance is mediocre. Serves a very specific demographic made up of almost entirely old Jews.

This place is awesome!!! Great customer service and delicious food!!!!!!!!! They also serve decaf coffee Thanks a lot, Karen! We will be back for sure! Chen and HJ
