Came in as an alternative to Timmie’s and I am extremely pleased I did. Bagel sandwich so tasty and fresh. Inside eating space is clean. Food is fresh and the bagels, well you just have to see for yourself!

Amazing food spot ! I got breakfast there today for my family and the overall experience was amazing. I offered to tip and the gentlemen at the cash register just told me to come back and keep supporting. We need to make sure we support places like this. Good quality breakfast/food at reasonable prices is rare these days.

As someone who's had GCB alot in Oshawa and Toronto, this place is trash. The bagels are drier, have a 3rd of the chocolate chips, the chocolate chips are lower quality.The french toast bagels have no sweetness at all. Bitter and sour.Whoever owns the corporation would be extremely disappointed.

Loved the selection of bagels with genuine service (hard to find nowadays). The breakfast bagels are so good especially with the avocado topping. Great breakfast and lunch options!

This place used to be great. The bagels are undercooked, the staff unfriendly and the place was dirty. We went at 10 am and the bagel bin selection was almost empty. I can't recommend this place any longer.

I enjoy their food here but the hours are never within my time frame of work. Sometimes they don't even open when they say

Just picked up a dozen assorted Bagels and cream cheese. I drove 20 minutes as I used to love this location in Pickering. However it looks like the ownership has changed recently as the service was below par. This lady was rushing while I was trying to pick the flavors as she had two more customers in line and couldn't not handle the rush " of total 3 customers" ?

I’m heading there now for breakfast and hope all these reviews are not as I read. I take a bagel with no veggies cus of stomach issues. Ajax puts in extra bacon instead of veggies lol. 5 stars for now until I return. 2stars now. K I’m back and I now know the difference between Ajax and this one, Ajax is tan by an older couple and they decorate the store and bring life into it with flowers/plants and the place is spic and span clean. Plus they are well lit and have soft music unlike this Pickering one. You still get your sandwich but not the cleanest at the seating area and looks like a dungeon lol why does it feel like you just opened but not really ? And change your gloves. Why you touching iPad for the virtual order and then the meat ? But then Again McDonald’s and others touch everything so….. there you have it. Sandwich YES but like grandmas basement feel YES.

Since the son of the owner took over this business, this is the worse place ever. I don't know why they post store hours. If it says 7:30 am, go at 8:00 am, if it says 8:00 am, go at 9:00 am. Terrible way to run a small business. I wonder what the Great Canadian Bagel franchise would say about this store.
they were really quick with everything and didn't mess anything up. food was really good too and nice workers

I visited this place this morning. Their fresh bagels are amazing. Lots of choice in bagels as well as sandwiches. Loved their coffee. They have outdoor sitting options too. Price is pretty reasonable. $18 for 2 coffee and 2 bagels with various options of cream cheese. Woulf love to visit again. They have vegetarian options too.

Bad customer service at this Pickering location, the guy at the order counter is snappy and not friendly at all, you better have your order ready before entering the store, he does not have the patience for you to look at the menu, constantly mumbles to himself, shakes his head and rolls his eyes,As a first time customer I felt uncomfortable and felt like I was asking for charity.Unlike the Oshawa location which has one of the best customer service and courteous / friendly staff.

The spinach bagel I had was SO good. I’m not even that big of a bagel person but it was so flavourful and fresh especially with the herb and garlic cream cheese I got it with. The staff were very friendly and helpful too! Overall really nice establishment and it was a delicious breakfast.

DO NOT PLACE UBER EATS ORDERThis restaurant should be removed from Uber Eats immediately. No voicemail, called store directly multiple times after placing order with no answer. Menu item availability changes AFTER placing order and paying. Terrible customer service.When contacting Uber Eats they could not get in contact with the restaurant either. Uber Eats was also unable to cancel the order stating the restaurant already confirmed despite no confirmation on my end.I love Great Canadian Bagel and have been going since i was a child, but will not be placing another order to the Pickering location ever again
