A tiny little hole in the wall place below some apartments , it blends in with the surrounding area , right across from a small football/ soccer field . Frankly bagels has a nice selection and my friend and I had a hard time deciding what to eat . The staff were friendly and they helped with our choices . Luckily we came in as we did , as they nearly ran out of gluten free bagels . I had the tuna and bagel , with Swiss cheese , capers and pickled chili ,fennel and herbs . It had flour in spades , and a slight chili kick , with the added addition of lots a thinly sliced cucumber. It was very refreshing. The bagel itself wasnāt bad , but gluten free bagels are a little difficult to get right , so it was a little dry , but you definitely couldnāt beat the filling !

Edit 2: Their takeaway coffee cups seem to leak with Oat milk, but the problem is being resolved according to the owner. Have ordered 2 coffees at multiple times and consistently get the wrong combination of sizes or milks etc. Seems to be a communication issue between the server and the barista because i appear to get charged the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreoh my god, where do i start! this place is absolutely amazing. i first enter to a nice cozy interior, and then im met by their kind and beautiful staff! so polite and so friendly. i ordered a bagel (forgot the name), a hot latte and 2 cookies (biscoff and some sort of pistachio?). the service was very fast considering how busy they were, just shows that the employees are hardworking. anyways, the food arrives i take the first bite and oh my god absolutely delicious. the latte tasted like a sip of heaven, was absolutely worth it. butā¦ā¦ā¦ my only complaint is the cookies. i understand u have the cookies out for a while, but they were very hard, tasty! but hardā¦. other than that absolutely loved this place and would 100% recommend. OH WAIT! the prices were also moderately cheap, very good...
