WA-BAGEL By Aburi – Japanese Style Bagels in Downtown Vancouver

WA-BAGEL by Aburi is bringing airy and chewy Japanese style bagels to Downtown Vancouver

Last month when I was walking around Downtown Vancouver, I noticed that Tractor Digital had closed up shop. The windows were papered up with Aburi logo paper so I was very curious to see what would be coming next. Turns out it’s going to be a Japanese style bagel shop! WA-BAGEL By Aburi will feature sweet and savoury bagels. These bagels will available in a constellation of inventive and classic flavours and fillings. WA-BAGEL will specialize in chewy and airy Japanese-style bagels. This new concept will be at 666 Burrard Street and will be a counter service spot to start. There will also be take out and delivery options.

WA-BAGEL’s bagels are made with Canadian flour and a koji-based yeast. When it opens in late-spring, WA-BAGEL will have 14 flavours of bagels and bagel sandwiches to start. Flavours will include red bean paste and cream cheese, sweet potato and black sesame.

As much as I love a good New York style bagel, I have a soft spot for Japanese bagels. Their lighter texture is such a dream to bite into. The flavours are also right up my alley, so I can’t wait for their opening in late Spring! Will you be giving this new spot a try?
