Glicks Caulfield South — Restaurant in Melbourne

Definitely the place to go for challah, bagels are pretty good too.

Of all the different challah makers out there (and there are many), these are in my opinion the best. Soft, fluffy, good balance of sweet and bready, not too sweet and it doesn't fall apart.You can also buy it from the supermarket (Woolworths but not Coles as Coles apparently cares more about price than quality) but the fresh stuff in store is my preference when I'm not feeling lazy.

The service can be a bit variable and definitely breaks down during the big rushes but that's somewhat understandable.

The other food is a mixed bag. The bagels are very good (not the best I've ever had, but close) but some of their other pastries are downright terrible.

I had the most amazing experience today. I needed donuts for my daughter to take to school and I had ordered them yesterday.

He made sure the delivery driver got extras from other stores to fulfill our order which resulted in a very happy child. An absolute power team this morning and I am so thankful to both staff who went above and beyond to help. Fantastic...
