BROWN BAGELS — Restaurant in Melbourne

Brown Bagel is in prime location for city goers and workers alike, looking for a quick and warm bite to eat. The decor is modern and has an ample amount of lighting The menus are incredibly easy to read and to figure out what you would like with lots of fantastic options

Atmosphere: Modern white interior and the floors + surfaces were spotless (I came after the rush I believe)

Service: Extremely friendly staff who let off a joyful and happy to be there mood, also was very well staffed with 4 people there in the small shop. However seemed to be in a slight rush to take the order.

Taste: I’ll be honest, I haven’t enjoyed a bagel up until now, I’ve had them from cafe’s, breakfast bars at hotels, office meetings and more. But i thought id try again as whoa, a place that specialises in bagels?!?! It must be good then. I chose an onion bagel with cream cheese and chive. boy, the cream cheese was indeed creamy, the onion flavour on the bread was really nice and the lil crisps of onion were jam packed with flavour

Texture: MAN this bread was fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Incorporated with the not too strong cream cheese it was a cold winters day dream. Every bite you could feel the fluffy yet dense bagel pull apart like bread fresh out of the oven.

Price: This bagel with spread was $7.90, which i find completely reasonable. Rent is expensive and so are staff so i am more than happy to pay this. $9 would be a fair going rate I believe. However something worth mentioning is the other bagels on the menu, If you wanted a loaded bagel. It would have cost you 18.90 which is absolutely a stretch. At that price you are getting closer to a full meal with a side at a cafe. Personally i would never order a loaded bagel as it’s priced that high and i believe that is what turning other customers away to other cafes down the alleyway.

Something i feel is worth mentioning is that the seats are really not suited for anyone who is probably over 5’5? I sat down to eat and my legs were a bit more than cramped. (hitting the top...
