Our Toronto Bagels
Kiva's Bagel Bakery and Restaurant opened its doors in April of 1979. Our bagel shop in Toronto serves traditional hand-rolled, kettle boiled bagels, the way they were meant to be baked, using only high quality ingredients.
Kiva's bagels are all natural!
They contain no preservatives, no additives and no conditioners. We hand-roll bagels all day long, using fresh dough (never frozen), we then proof (letting the bagel rise), kettle boil and finally bake in small batches. The result, authentic crusty bagels on the outside and a dense, chewy texture on the inside that is so satisfying in chew and above all in taste!!

Bagel Tips and Tricks:
To ensure that you get the full effect of Kiva's bagels we recommend you eat them on the day you buy them because our fresh baked bagels are always best on the day we bake them!
In the event that you have extra Kiva's bagels store them in the Kiva's plastic we supplied, be sure to seal them tightly and store them at room temperature.
If you wish to freeze your bagels, we recommend slicing them first. Once sliced place them back in the Kiva's bag, seal it tightly and place in the freezer. Now whenever you would like to enjoy a bagel, take one out and reseal the bag tightly. Your frozen bagel will need a small amount of toasting to warm it up, but do not put it in the microwave to warm it up. Microwaves are not bagel-friendly.
Bagel Do's and Don'ts:
- DO keep your cool bagels in the Kiva's bag provided and sealed tightly
- DO remove as much air as possible when sealing the bag
- DO reclose the bag promptly once opened
- DO slice your bagels before freezing
- DON'T put your bagels in the fridge
- DON'T microwave your bagels
- DON'T store Onion or Everything bagels with other bagels (unless you want them all to taste like onion)
- DON'T leave your bagels open on the kitchen counter a our bagels do not contain preservatives.
- It is fine to store your bagels for up to 24 hours at room temperature, as long as they are sealed in a plastic bag.
- It is fine to toast your bagels right out of the freezer.
