I love these and the best way to persuade me to take 2 buses and 2 tubes to visit my friend nearby.

Personally I love them with just cream cheese and tomatoe or just butter or with salad cream and cucumber if I'm in a really sulty food mood.

And open 24 hours great. One piece of advice if your taking them home to fill yourself / freeze ask for the ones that are still hot so they are as fresh as they get. Though to be honest the place is so busy the bagels would only ever be a few hours since making / baking.

Plain straight forward service no have a nice day fakeness]]> Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:36:56 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/115a59470474800 french_girl 51.522129 -0.071709 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/1t9928

Sometimes I think this might be the actual best place in the whole of London. Delicious and very cheap bagels, available at any time of the day or night. Fantastic in just about every respect.]]> Wed, 09 Jul 2008 02:39:38 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/1t99281896240778 lva 51.522129 -0.071709 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/1s27i8

When I went (my first time), they hardly had anything we asked for because their ovens were broken. Pretty poor service too as the staff kept chatting amongst themselves and didn't even notice us at the counter and we were starving!! The beigels made up for it (but only just). ]]> Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:27:55 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/1s27i81497555208 ChloeBuxton 51.522129 -0.071709 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/1s67e8

Andy's review is spot on (and v. funny).

I never really rated bagels till I had one of those. On a visit to the Big Apple I thought I could find a salt beef bagel that would beat the ones from Brick Lane...

Nop! Didn't happen...
They're so nice you can have them plain!

I have been known for leaving the shop with bags full of bagels which will then travel back to West London and end up straight in the freezer!

On a lazy Sunday morning...while you put a few bagels in the oven (2/3 minutes), you can rustle up some scrambled eggs, add a couple of slices of smoked salmon onto plates and Bob's Uncle!

Posh breakfast doesn't have to be time consuming... and that leave you more time for.... other things!

The mere mention of the place gets me slavering uncontrollably like a Pavlovian Pomeranian with mercury poisoning.

There is nothing dignified, sophisticated or "oh aren't we being multi-cultural" about this place. You sidestep London's best-placed begging pitch, you wander steamy-spectacled into the last hot hurrah of the Jewish East End, you queue with the cabbies and the ravers and the Shoreditch spuffers, you ask, you get, you pay, you're out. What do you need, a manual?

At the wrong end (if there is one) of Brick Lane's neon-drenched passanda and pilau paradise, the bakery's policy remains very simple; let's make beigels better than anyone else in London, let's sell them ridiculously cheap, let's never close.

The fact that their black breads, chollas and chocolate brownies are exemplary is almost an irrelevance - everyone in their right mind comes for one of two things, smoked salmon and cream cheese, or hot salt beef and mustard. In a beigel.

On a cold winter's night, in the blank space between alcohol and a sweaty night bus, the black hole of the beigel is the event horizon to my appetite's atmospheric particle, drawing me inexorably towards it, filled with moist chewy salty hunks of brisket, oozing with the sweet hot bite of english mustard and comehereyoubeautycometopapa!]]> Sat, 08 Dec 2007 21:13:50 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/123697770933121 andybrown 51.522129 -0.071709 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/1k65n8

Visit Columbia Road flower market, cruise the junk shops and stalls at Brick Lane, then drop in here for sustenance. Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese are fantastic!]]> Tue, 13 Nov 2007 02:01:35 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/1k5568118381811 stumitch 51.522129 -0.071709 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/122598

Always busy not matter when you go. The salt beef bagels area bargain, with enough meat to fill 2 bagels. If you passing make sure you stop and try one. The cakes are super cheap as well.]]> Tue, 16 Oct 2007 11:45:23 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/1225981118974370 Shona 51.522129 -0.071709 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/175468

Cheap and tasty bagels with a variety of filling choices. Good to see they don't scrimp on the mayo too. That winds me up.

Agree to all the other positive comments about the price, quality convenience etc....but just to add that last time I was there with my two young children and they were asked by the bakers to come around to the back, given a dough ball each, and got to put it in the machine - we kept the ones they touched.....really nice and friendly touch - great to see this place is still open.]]> Wed, 30 May 2007 12:56:16 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/1u527766486486 london 51.522129 -0.071709 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/1e1218

The salt beef bagels can't be beaten! And have the cheesecake for dessert (an unbelievable 60p!)

Haven't tried much else there.

Plus it's open 24 hours so you can get to your salt beef bagel fix at any time of the day or night!]]> Sat, 05 May 2007 13:59:05 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/1d12s81458028502 Umran 51.522129 -0.071709 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/1932h8

A salt beef and mustard bagel is the best £2.50 (or is it £2.30?!?) you can spend.

And I love their selection of diet soft drinks (random considering the food on offer but it wins brownie points with me)

I think I have a problem though as I keep on trying to find excuses to go to that end of brick lane at meal times...]]> Wed, 25 Apr 2007 17:05:25 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/1932h8335313579 kellytron 51.522129 -0.071709 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/1s31z8

Used to live right around the corner. This place serves the best bagels in town at incredible prices. Salmon and cream cheese is my favorite. Somehow salt beef with extra mustard seems to be the miracle cure for a hangover!]]> Wed, 21 Mar 2007 23:04:48 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1n52x8f/brick-lane-beigel-bake/1s71v81423126112 schijndel 51.522129 -0.071709
