East Coast Bakery is a bagel bakery located on Quinpool Road in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Founded in 2014 by Gerry Lonergan, it is the creator and sole producer of the Halifax-style bagel, a sourdough-based, honey-boiled bagel that combines elements of both New York-style and Montreal-styles.[1][2]
Halifax-style bagel
The Halifax-style bagel is distinguished by its lighter texture, mildly sweet-sour flavour, and use of wild sourdough cultures native to the region. The recipe uses wheat flour, honey, egg, malt, salt, and about 15% sourdough starter. The bakery’s bagels are also certified kosher, making it the only producer of kosher bagels in Halifax.[3][4]
Community and culture
East Coast Bakery has been covered in local and national media, with features on CBC, Radio-Canada, and Global News.[5][6][7]
The bakery also gained recognition through Lonergan’s street performances as “The Bagel Guy,” in which he promoted the bakery with choreographed dancing and sign-spinning routines. These appearances were covered by local press and television outlets.[8]
