Spare a thought for those dearly departed souls (as in those who’ve departed London ?), only ever being disappointed, muttering “oh’s” to the wannabe stoggy o’s sold in not so super markets.

When I worked in E1 bagels were 13p. I’d cycle from Hackney on my way to work a couple of streets across.

You never know what you’ve got till you’re 150 miles away from it. The next time I’m in London, I shall consider it a failure of character if I am not reacquainted with these bagels!

It’s 5.30 am lying in bed welcoming in 2020 with my resolution dieting starts today
And then…………..began reading about Bagel Bakery’s wonderful mouthwatering filled bagels
and being a weak willed woman will drive this very day to the Bakery and just ………
Diet will be left in abeyance until 2021 x

There is no other Beigel shop. Egg & tomata with liberals: peng. Chopped herring with gherkins: piff. Salt Beef with thin veneer or fat splodge: the business. Cheesecake and buttered beigel(s): essential. Thank God this place exists and praise be for the amazing blokes in the back and ladies up front, whose slightly kurt manner doesn’t half help keep he queue moving in busy times! There is no better fast food.

“thin veneer of mustard”?! not in my experience! 🙂 but i like a lot of mustard, so…

It’s a thursday ritual for me to treat myself to a half dozen loose beigels for the weekend ahead, plus a salt beef beigel with nose-clearing mustard to help the afternoon along, and all for a fiver. Love this place.

Sorry Mandy, salt beef with a thin veneer of mustard must prevail. Secondary buttered beigel, to accommodate the meat which inevitably spills from the first, is recommended.

Boiled egg and tomato with liberal sprinklings of salt and pepper is my favourite from this wonderful establishment.
