Was so happy to see this Cape Town gem in JHB. We always visit the Cape Town store when we are there. And the food quality is just as good. Wonderfully made bagels.

Kleinskys is definitely somewhere we’ll be...

I can confidently say, after two separate visits, that Kleinsky's has the best bagel I've ever had.
With a wide variety of bagels and non-bagel eats to choose from, there is something for everyone. Perfect coffee for the coffee lovers and deliciously tasty bagels. The fresh ingredients blend together to create a heavenly mouthful with every bite.
Friendly and kind staff. I am confident that as the Birdhaven location ages, the staff will become more and more confident.
No reservations available but the wait is not long. Enjoy the atmosphere and vibe of a new York style deli.
Take away options available too.
Another great restaurant - another...
