The focus here is undoubtedly on bagels, but that’s just the beginning of what makes this spot so appealing.

The menu boasts an impressive selection of hand-crafted bagels, each designed to tantalize your taste buds. Imagine sinking your teeth into the Brekky Bagel—a hearty combination of crispy bacon, a perfectly fried egg, zesty pickles, and rich cheddar, all drizzled with delectable hollandaise sauce—priced at just A$17.00.

Treat yourself to the Eggs Benny, where poached eggs sit elegantly on a toasted English muffin, lovingly coated in homemade hollandaise sauce. For a more robust morning, the Breakfast Frittata is a savory delight, baked with fresh zucchini and tomatoes, and served with a side of rocket and spinach salad.

Love this bagel cafe! I ordered the meat lovers bagel (such a generous serve of pastrami, salami and chicken in the bagel! I have to say the bagel is so fresh as well! It was soft and fluffy, warmly toasted) I ordered the ice matcha latte and it was done well! You can actually taste the matcha and not milky green latte. The staff members were very friendly!

Great find! This cafe is away from the hustle of the Main Street, but has plenty of foot traffic for people watching. The coffee is delicious and so is the food. This place specializes in bagels - I’m not a huge fan of bagels, but I thought this is the time to have them. Honestly the best bagels I have ever had! Not too dense, just perfect! Highly recommend this place for a nice casual meal or your mid morning pick-me-up.

Came from a 2-for-1 Bagel or breakfast deal from Facebook! What an incredible discovery. Very close to home, yet I’ve never been! Marketing well spent ;) I will be returning. Fresh bagels are incredibly soft, however I would have liked to be asked what bagel option we preferred. Everything was delicious, at $17 a bagel I’m so glad it’s worth it!

Delicious coffee, amazing muffins and FANTASTIC bagels. Staff are friendly and speedy. Today we had the chicken,bacon and Chipotle bagel which was a solid 10/10 and the Reuben bagel (also 10/10). Will be back.

Nice little place - but busy even on a week day - bit loud for my liking. But Bagels were nicely done and that’s what mattered Good team and very quick delivery.
