Toronto breakfast chain Egg Club is teaming up with Gryfe’s Bagel Bakery on a new menu collaboration that will put three of Egg Club’s breakfast sandwiches on Gryfe’s classic bagels.
The limited collaboration launched Sept. 9, bringing together the two Toronto-based food businesses and giving Egg Club customers another format for three of its existing breakfast sandwich offerings.
Three sandwiches on Gryfe’s bagels
The partnership combines Egg Club’s folded egg sandwiches with Gryfe’s bagels, with the three-menu-item offering featuring the Meat Lovers Bagel, BLT Bagel and Cheddar Classic.
The Meat Lovers Bagel includes folded eggs, bacon, a sausage patty, hollandaise, chipotle sauce and parsley flakes. The BLT Bagel combines folded eggs with lettuce, tomato, bacon and parsley flakes, while the Cheddar Classic features folded eggs, cheddar cheese, hollandaise sauce and parsley flakes.
“We wanted to bring two Toronto favourites together in a way that feels authentic to both brands,” said Jason Yu, president of Egg Club. “Gryfe’s is a true Toronto staple, and we’re proud to partner with another Canadian brand that has been part of this city’s food culture for generations.”
Both companies were founded in Toronto, with Egg Club established in 2020 by three friends and Gryfe’s Bagel Bakery dating back to 1957. Gryfe’s is a family-owned business based in North York that produces its signature light and airy style of bagel.
Expansion plans
For Egg Club, the collaboration comes as the company continues to expand its restaurant footprint beyond Toronto. The chain currently has locations across Ontario and Calgary, with expansion underway in Edmonton and Vancouver.
The company says its business was built around offering affordable, fresh food, with its menu centred on egg sandwiches.
“At a time when supporting Canadian businesses is top of mind for many people, this felt like the perfect way to celebrate two homegrown brands while giving our guests a new way to enjoy some of their Egg Club favourites,” said Yu.
Expanding beverage menu
Egg Club is also giving its drink menu a fresh twist with three new specialty beverages featuring the flavours of matcha and banana.
The limited-time lineup launched September 9 and includes the Iced Banana Milk Latte, Iced Banana Milk Matcha and Iced Premium Matcha Latte, offering guests three smooth, refreshing options designed to pair with Egg Club’s breakfast favourites.
“We wanted to take our drink menu somewhere new,” said Yu. “Matcha and banana felt like a great combination to explore, and we’re excited to introduce our guests to three drinks that are very different from anything we’ve offered before.”
The new menu includes:
- Iced Banana Milk Latte: Rich, silky handcrafted banana cream layered over ice-cold milk for a smooth, sweet and fruit-forward take on an iced latte.
- Iced Banana Milk Matcha: Vibrant matcha cream and velvety banana cream layered over ice-cold milk, balancing the earthy flavour of matcha with the natural sweetness of banana.
- Iced Premium Matcha Latte: Premium-grade matcha cream and ice-cold milk finished with a splash of cream for a smooth, earthy and refreshing drink.
