An authentic slice of New York in a Hackney alleyway, serving arguably London's best bagels with proper chew and crisp crusts from a takeout-only window.
Ordering Strategy
This is strictly a takeaway operation with no seating and no coffee served on-site. Expect queues on weekends and plan to eat at the nearby Hackney Downs or London Fields.
What to order
The Classic
A benchmark lox bagel with cream cheese, capers, red onion, and tomato that recently topped Deliveroo's global trending charts.
The Cold Cuts Bagel

Georgia’s Heirloom Bagel
A fresh, open-faced option featuring a schmear of choice, thick tomato slices, herbs, and oil.
Everything Bagel with Scallion Schmear
The 'Mish Mosh' bagel is praised for its density and generous coating of seeds, pairing perfectly with their punchy scallion cream cheese.

Good to know
Located down a small alleyway off Shacklewell Lane. Delivery is popular, but visiting in person ensures the best crust texture.
