Our Story

Since My Zaidy's Bagel on Bathurst

Owner Uzi Atia — a former professional soccer player from Israel — came to Canada in 1982 and started at My Zaidy's Bagel at 356 Bathurst. He grew the menu from bagels to a full bakery and moved to our 4,000 sq ft home at Chabad Gate in the 1990s.

Our sufganiyot grew from four flavours into a Chanukah tradition the whole city lines up for.

Today we're part of the plaza's little Jewish neighbourhood, baking for Shabbat tables, simchas and holidays across Thornhill and Toronto.
