Where Tokyo Meets New York
What makes a Japanese-style bagel?
WA-BAGEL, a delightful & new Japanese-style bagel shop in the heart of Vancouver's financial district. The artful process of crafting our bagels involves filling and twisting select ingredients seamlessly into the dough, all without disrupting its natural texture through kneading or mixing. Japanese ingredients are used to create exciting flavours that are beautifully preserved within every single bite, promising a truly unique experience.
