Beigel Bake

Amazing hot beef. I would say comparable to Katz Deli in NYC except way more affordable. Super good!

We literally ran into this shop as my husband from the land of good dough (NY that is) was going through some sort of bagel crisis.
What is super awesome about these bagels/​beigels are that they are tiny and puffy. So unlike the bagels back home, you don’t feel like you need to run a marathon to burn off the calories.
We got the salmon and cream cheese on our bagels and it was pretty good. For some reason I’m not a fan of smoked salmon here as I find it too greasy and fishy but this was one decent enough. It is also definitely a good spot to grab some beigels for an at home brunch session as they are pretty cheap.

Out in the area for drinks and wanted some drinking food. Had never tried the famous salt beef and gherkin sandwich (with mustard of course) so face it a whirl. The insides were delicious– a generous portion of salt beef covered in mustard. Each bite crunched with the large pickle pieces. Really tasty and I almost went back to order another because one did not quite satisfy my hunger like a kebab does. However I refrained.
The only thing lacking was the bagel. (My wife just got a bagel and cream cheese so I feel for her). It just wasn’t a New York bagel. That’s all.
For good drinking food that is a Chad fe up from your standard kebab or fried chicken, I recommend this place.

I love this place. We stopped by to split a salt beef beigel and immediately ordered a second. The spicy mustard and tangy pickles take it to another level, and for less than £5, the price can’t be beat. Pick up some extra beigels to take with you for £0.25 each.

Simply the best beigels in London. Indeed they are so good they sold out on my last visit just before Christmas. Staff were working overtime and just couldn’t produce the round treats fast enough to satisfy the long queues.

Wow, these salt beef bagels are so yum! A 24 hour place, you queue from inside the shop outwards, when you get to the front of the shop you are served by women, who speedily take your order, and prepare your bagel, but the queue moves quick, so be ready to order. This is a take-​away, so take your hot bagel and just eat out on the street or on the ledge along the wall on the opposite side of the shop. But for under a fiver, these are good, and after a night of drinking, you could easily have two.

Not worth the trip if you’re not already in the neighborhood.
If you are in the neighborhood, and feeling hungry, then this is a quick and cheap bite!
It’s not like a New York bagel, more chewy. Got the lox, it was ok. Really more fit for the hungry. Because when you’re at brick lane, there are so many other options — I mean culinary experiences! Is it worth filling up on a bagel?
Tip: Service is super fast here! So Be ready with your order in mind.

These bagels with salt beef, spicy mustard and pickle are so delicious! Having lived in NY for many years and having also eaten Montréal’s bagels, I thought I’d had the best. But this 24 hour shop in Shoreditch puts London right on the «beigel» map. Btw what’s with the spelling? It’s like these carb bombs are more about the color than the chewy, sweet bread that holds a bunch of salty meat like a champ. I had one coming back from a party at 1 am, and I had to have another five hours later on the way to the airport.

Not that I would say… The bagel is not really that light and soft as people describe. So disappointed. Both the salted beef and smoke salmon were alright. Maybe bagel is just not something for me.

One of my best dining experiences in London and the cheapest by far, Beigel Bake is worth a visit.
It’s so true what they said about London and the high food prices, mostly because the American dollar gets killed on the conversion rate for the British pound. On the recommendation of our tour guide, my girlfriend and I walked from Liverpool Street station which was an adventure all its own. You go from the yuppie financial/​business district to a very hipster-​esque part of London in less than 10 minutes. The exterior was very modest (the sort of hole-​in-​the-​wall I’m always looking out for) and the menu straightforward.
If you’re walking all the way here, you have to order the hot salt beef beigel with pickles and mustard. The beef is a reddish hue of delicious taste, juicy but far from greasy. What really pulls the whole thing together is the actual beigel bread itself, which tasted a lot lighter than American beigel and just as good (I would say better) with its warm, chewy, and surprisingly sweet interior.
So how does it compare to next door rival Beigel Shop? After having them back-​to-​back (what? I was only in London for a few days), I’m going to give the edge to Beigel Bake by the slimmest of margins, only because I liked the beigels here a little bit more (I think they’re a bit sweeter). But honestly, unless you’re a true Londoner, you probably won’t taste too much of a difference. You can’t go wrong with either place.

Although I’ve been a regular for years, I still get excited about getting a beigal. Crunchy on the outside, warm and chewy on the inside — they are amazing doughy goodness every time.
Although there’s always a queue outside Beigal Bake, I wouldn’t let that put you off (or even sway towards the yellow Beigal Shop a few doors down). The queue goes down pretty quickly and it’s so worth it in the end.
They have a good range of fillings. The classic salt beef, which is loved by many, or you can choose from cream cheese and salmon, tuna and sweetcorn, salami, even Nutella.
And the best part? They’re open ²⁴⁄₇!

Unglaublich leckere Bagels! Schon die einfachste Version ist der Wahnsinn — es war frisch gebacken, außen kross und innen weich und gleichzeitig fest. Der Teig ist schwer und schlicht eine Wucht.
Es gibt unzählige Variationen an Belägen… und alles kostet fast nichts! Für ein Mandelcroissant (nicht so empfehlenswert, man sollte hier Bagels essen) und ein einfaches Bagel zahlten wir 1,05£. Nichts!
Man sollte nur Zeit zum Warten mitbringen:)

A serious institution in London, beigel bake is a regular late night drop in of mine when out in Shoreditch or the Brick lane. Expect massive queues that move fast, lots of drunks and a bit of banter from the old
Man slicing the beigels. On a recent visit, he was raving about how Beyoncé had visited them and loved the food.
Beigels are perfect! Chewy and moist with just a touch of sweetness. And the salt beef is to die for. Literally. It melts in the mouth, and is spiced perfectly. Sheer perfection when drizzled with spicy mustard and shoved into a fresh beigel. And then eaten outside the shop while trying not to spill down your shirt. Napkins advised.

I love this place for offering a non-​greasy solution to the munchies during/​after a night out.
I stayed for the super cheap am-​I-​really-​in-​zone-​1 prices and tasty cream cheese filling.
But I will hesitate to go back after I was shouted at by the woman behind the counter for asking for my second bagel without realising she’d put two of them in a single bag in front of me. ‘It’s in there already!!’ — well excuuuse me for not having x-​ray vision and questioning whether she’d heard me order two.
Yes this place is an institution, and the queue is as long out the door at 2am as it is at 2pm, but it doesn’t give the staff a license to make you feel small. Maybe I’m too easily offended and shouldn’t really care at these prices, but going forward I for one will be putting aside the similarly dodgy spelling of the work bagel and heading to the less busy but friendlier ‘beigel shop’ 3 doors down from here instead.

These are nothing like American style bagels, so don’t go in expecting a giant cruncy bread thing. They’re fairly small and have a gloriously chewy texture.
I love going early on a weekend morning, before the Shoreditch cool kids are awake, and buy a bag of beigels to take home and eat through the weekend. If you’re lucky and get them fresh, they don’t need toasting and are perfect on their own.
We’ve also hosted very successful brunches at home where these are the centerpiece, and so easy!

Love that when you pop in you can see the family working in the back making the beigels. A lot of love goes into these beigels!
Review based on salt beef sandwich on a plain beigel:
The sandwich was fantastic. The salt beef was super juicy and flavourful and perfectly paired with the spicy mustard and pickles. The beigel was a lot better than the Beigel Shop next door, but just not perfect. As an American, I have a high expectation of «bagels» and the UK just doesn’t know how to do them quite right. But these are definitely as close as you’ll get :)

I’ll be the first to admit this is my second breakfast spot in Brick lane — and by second breakfast, I mean I will never walk past this amazing little place after already having a sit down breakfast to grab a take away bagel .
I’ve never had more than the nutella bagel which for 99p is an absolute steal! The bagels are probably as good as those I’ve eaten (copious amounts of) in New York. They’re chewy, fresh out the oven circles of pure joy.
The staff there are everything I love about London; blunt, straight to the point with a ‘pay up and get out’ attitude which doesn’t come across ruthless but somewhat endearing in the hustle and bustle of the always busy shop. Expect to line up out the door, don’t expect a lovely little chat about the weather but do know, I promise you this, maybe some of the best carbs you’ve ever put in your mouth.

i’m a man of simple tastes really. Give me a decent portion of something tasty for a good price and I’m the happiest clam in the sea. Tie in some local flair or culture and I’m even happier. Beigel Bake does all of those things, and they do them well. Next to the foodie meccas that are Camden and Borough Market, Beigel Bake is the first place I send London newbies to get a quick bite.
Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere?
Well it certainly isn’t fancy with only a few bar stools and an inevitable line, and I can’t promise it’ll be friendly if you’re not, but Beigel Bake is an establishment in and of itself — and that’s an asset. They know what they’re doing, they know what they’ve got, and when you’re here you’re playing by their rules. Queue up, place your order, pay in cash, and be on your way. No frills, no nonsense, and entirely worth it. Star Granted.
Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost?
Well folks, you’re in London, where the cheapest eat in town is a sketchy kebab that’s likely to run you a fiver. But what’s this? Be still my heart, because the classic Beigel Bake Hot Salt Beef Beigel is exactly £3.70, and that’s a bargain considering that this easily suffices as a full meal. Amazing value here at Beigel Bake. Star Granted.
Stars 3 and 4: How was the food?
Goodness me. First and foremost, let me admit that I was skeptical when it came to getting a Bagel in London. Sure, the Polish invented the bagel, but let’s not pretend that the city of New York hasn’t mastered and shaped it into the breakfast staple that it is today. Only once or twice have I found a bagel outside of the city that matches what you find in Brooklyn or Manhattan, but Beigel Bake really does come close, and it’s the flawless Salt Beef that puts this over the top. Endlessly flavorful with just the right amount of fat, the only thing that could possibly improve this sandwich would be spicy mustard, which is exactly what they offer. All in all, this is one of the best sandwiches in London. period. Dual Stars Granted.
Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could?
How can I say no here when the answer is so obviously ‘yes’? I can’t, and I won’t. While there aren’t any frills, Beigel Bake offers a phenomenal product with excellent value for a reasonable price, and the atmosphere is representative of the grit and grind worker’s spot that exists behind all the flashy façade of modern London. well done indeed. Star Granted.

Oh man you guys, I really love this place.
As a nice Jewish girl who grew up with an abundance of kosher delis in suburban Pennsylvania, I have been deeply missing a good bagel since I moved to London last fall.
I had no idea that the best bagel in the world (BAR NONE) lives on Brick Lane.
This place boasts some killer bagels with cream cheese, salmon or (amazingly) salt beef with English mustard and (for an extra 20p) pickles – it’s very similar to American/​Jewish deli style corned beef, but cut much more think and a bit saltier). Plus, it’s super cheap – plain bagel 25p, bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon (lox) 1.80ish, salt beef 3.70. PLUS, it’s open ²⁴⁄₇. PPPLLLUUSSSSS it’s next to my favorite-​ever coffee shop (
).
Yeah, the service isn’t particularly attentive. But you don’t come here for the service, you come here for the hot out of the oven (and cheap as dirt) bagels. Nothing to complain about, here.

Oh my…
My arteries are rejoicing and cursing me for this wonderfully addictive experience. What comprises of the perfect bagel? Slightly salty, not overly but still chewy, mosit and dense. All of the above is what Beigel Bake’s Bagels are.
Do not miss the salted beef bagel. It is absolutely divine and others can’t replicate this. We had several salted-​beef items in London, and this one was hands down the best. The crisp pickles, whole grain mustard and soft, juicy flavorful beef made me crave eating these for the rest of my life.
TIP: There are two highly competitive bagel shops next door to eachother. This is the white sign and the other is a yellow sign. Go to the white sign. But be warned, a rumor has it you are never allowed in the other one after you choose (like they would know though!).

Un clásico de Brick Lane. Y sí, es rico y barato. Y rápido.
Básicamente fue lo más parecido que vi a The Soup Nazi en la vida real.
Lo atienden 2 viejas con cara de orto MAL que te dicen «qué querés?» tenés que pedir rápido, SABER QUE VAS A PEDIR NO PREGUNTES NADA, pagar e irte a la mierda.
Claramente lo groso es el salt beef y mustard bagel. Delicioso.
El local es re pedorro en sí, y aparte te venden bocha de bagels baratos para llevar solo la masa.
Otra clave? ²⁴⁄₇.
Sí, posta. Es el bajón perfecto.

Amazing sandwich with salted beef, pickles, and mustard served up in a toasty bagel.
It is one tasty sandwich and the salted beef is very tender and moist.
Make sure you have some time to wait in line.

BEIGEL BAKE ES UN LUGAR LLENO DE MAGIA.
Ubicado en Shoreditch, uno de los barrios con más onda de Londres, este local es famoso por vender los bagels más geniales del universo: con pollo, salmón, queso, nutella o lo que se les ocurra, lo que hace que este local –que encima está abierto las 24 horas– sea sinónimo de placer.
Por si fuese poco, aparte de estos famosos y exquisitos bagels, se pueden degustar un montón de otras delicias, desde strudel de manzana, pan de chocolate hasta un cheesecake que es la gloria. La verdad que volvería ya a Londres para poder visitar este lugar una vez más. Imprescindible.

Les bagels sont très bons, mais en revanche la serveuse vraiment pas aimable !

Au bout de brick lane street, un petit magasin où d’excellents bagels sont préparés à la minute. Saumon, creamcheese ou à la viande… adresse à recommander sans hésitation. On en a même pris pour chez nous.

Une institution pour les bagels à Londres.
Tenu par une famille (très nombreuse a priori), cet établissement propose tous types de bagels, 24h/​24 7j/​7. Non vous né rêvez pas, n’importe quelle heure du jour et de la nuit!
Si on est loin du bagel gastronomique, vous aurez l’avantage de pouvoir vous faire plaisir à tout petit prix. Comptez par exemple 1.60£ pour un bagel saumon fumé et cream cheese, et 0.25£ pour un bagel classique. A ce prix là, faites le plein pour vos petits déjeuners.
La file d’attente est évidemment assez longue, mais l’organisation de cette «machine de guerre» fait que vous serez vite servis!
Faites-​y un détour si vous allez à Brick Lane market.

Superlecker, alles nach Wahl frisch belegt und dabei in London noch die günstigste Möglichkeit etwas zu essen zu bekommen ;)
Empfehlung!

Wow c’est l’usine ici! Heureusement, vu le rythme industriel du service, on n’attend jamais vraiment longtemps. Attendez-​vous à remonter dans les années 60: la boutique né paie pas de mine et ressemble plus à la Poste qu’à une boulangerie. Cependant, on adore les bagels qui sont en effet délicieux! Et à des prix dérisoires (à partir de 80 cts). Garniture au choix: saumon fumé et cream cheese, salami, boeuf salé…Parfait pour casser la croute au milieu d’une séance shopping à Brick Lane market!
