Bagelstein

Wonderful shop. Friendly, clean, and was nice they spoke English. Had a Gratine bagel piled with vegetables and cc. MUST try their currant and almond muffin!

Bagelstein is a franchise run by Parisians. If you are looking for NYC Deli, NYC bagels, you’re in the wrong place. The founder did go to NYC to learn a few things, but his starting point was Jewish bagels, hence the «stein» affixed. A bunch of them has popped up all over paris and this location is one of the many. At the time I’m writing this, this location is quite new and only opened recently. I’m not sure what kind of clientele they are expecting here, but I suppose it’s close enough to the Eiffel Tower.
I walked in to the empty store and was greeted by a French guy who insisted on speaking English to me, despite my attempts of speaking in French. Menu are on the wall and i ordered a «GAB» that had pastrami, red onion, marinated peppers, and cream cheese. For about 9.50 EUR, it also came with a tiny tiny coffee and i asked for a latte, and a dessert, which i chose a cookie.
For the bagel (I chose onion), the bread felt a little stale, and the pastrami was pallidly little. The taste was good.
For the «latte», it was TINY and made from a machine on which you’d press a button. It was surprisingly good though!
For the cookie, I got the cranberry white chocolate. It was soft but not buttery and very sweet. Not very good.
Overall, it was okay. If I’m looking for a sandwich early morning, it’s a good option, but I wouldn’t rave about the place.
