I admit that the overall look of Beigel Bake is far from enticing: the grubby interior was tackily decorated and a jumbled mass of bagels assaulted the eye. Along with plain bagels, they also sell bagels with assorted fillings, the bagels pre-stuffed and stacked in the most unattractive of ways.
Still, despite my trepidation, the baked goods smelled heavenly. Liebling ordered a half-dozen for the paltry sum of 1.50 GBP (approx $2.20 USD), and on our walk back home, I devoured one to my utter surprise. After having eaten dinner not even 30 minutes before, I was far from hungry, but the bagel was so spongy and tasty that I couldn’t help myself. The next morning, I found myself looking forward to having another bagel for breakfast. Even 12 hours later, it still tasted fresh.
The moral of the story: Don’t judge a book by its cover! I know where I’ll be going for my next bagel fix.
Psst! Don’t forget to “like” me on Facebook if you haven’t already! Your support is much appreciated!

bagel haven .. yummy..♥♥
I know where that is! I feel so in the know…now if only I'd actually eaten one of their bagels, it would have been perfect.
Amazing! It doesn't help that I am so hungry right now…
Nice…I love bagels. Actually the last time I was in London, I had a bagel with salt fish on it. AMAZING! I have no idea where it was because we had just come back from the club. Tee hee hee hee! 🙂
Your post just reminded me, I've been back from Pma for a year and I have not had a bagel since!!! I LOVE bagels. I will have have me an Einstein's bagel and some maple cream cheese! Thanks, chica.
All I saw was tuna, mayo and sweetcorn. You better do a taste test on that combo deary. I love bagel places, they all have a feel that's just hard to describe.
Firstly, just wanted to say how much I love your blog- very inspiring!
Thanks for this post too, I pass this part of town daily and had no idea lol, yummy!
Wishing you a very happy xmas and new year x
Ooo I am!! Onion all the way babY!
Yummy! I also like how all the employees are wearing Santa hats. 🙂
Oh my, thank heavens this carb-addict lives far, far away from Brick Lane:)
Oneika I beleive a baked potato with some kind of stuffing is a quintessential Brit dish, you simply MUST try it with a crayfish-mayo stuffing or tuna-sweetcorn. yum.
Or even plain with warm melted butter and a little salt.:)
Yuuuuum I'm obsessed with bagels. 🙂
There is nothing better than falling out of a pub and into brick lane for a drunken bagel.
Glad you discovered a bit of a cockney secret 🙂
That's great that you went there! It's such an iconic place in London. I'm embarrassed to say that after 4 years in this city, I have yet to go. We'll have to make a trip together sometime!
yum-who doesn't love a fresh, warm bagel?!
@Alero: Agree! This is dangerous…
@Emily: Look at you, Ms. Londoner! You'll just have to come back so you can try one (or six)… Your first half dozen are on me lol! #bigspender
@Brenna: Haha! Get the to a fridge, lady!
@Terri: Sounds like a West Indian style bagel! Nice!!
@kvowels: Did you have your bagel yet?? I hope it was good!
@Anon: Tuna and mayo sound great but not too keen on the sweetcorn! I really should do a taste test for the blog. You are giving me ideas… 🙂
@Linda: Thanks for reading and commenting! Try those bagels and let me know how you liked them! Happy holidays!
@Hannah: I LOVE onion, but then my mouth reeks for hours afterward so I am conflicted lol.
@ramblinbess: Cute huh!?
@sprite: Thanks for the tip! I haven't had much typical English food since my arrival so thanks for the rec! Will try it in the new year!
@Andi: Me too! If only carbs werent so bad for you!
@Jorden: Indeed! The area is laced with tons of bars and clubs as well, so I might have to indulge in the tradition in the new year!
@Lady: Let's definitely make a date and go there!
@Jaime: One of the best things in life!!
Interestingly enough, there is a dating website advertised on the jubliee line with various places to have dates in London, and one suggestion is 'bagels in brick lane.' It didn't make sense to me until now.
Oh my god I’m so excited to see this! I LOVE bagels!! There is nothing better than a Montreal bagel or an everything bagel from Timmy’s with garlic and herb cream cheese! I am SO going here when I move to London-let’s make a date!! YUM!!
For sure!! It’s just up the road from my place!
Ahhhh! I have been hearing about these bagel shops since I’ve been here. MUST GO! So that’s where you live! Maybe I should try to come to the next blogger meet up, if any 🙂 Party in London!
You definitely should! We will probably be meeting next month, google “Travel Massive London” for more details!
