There are two bagel (or “beigel!”) shops in Brick Lane which constantly fight for top spot- but this one is my personal favorite.

Here you can find a neighborhood classic, salt beef with plenty of mustard and pickles, best on an everything bagel. With endless bagel combinations and plenty of pastries on offer, it is the ultimate stop for breakfast (or after going out, as it’s one of the few places in the city open 24/7!).

Don’t forget to take a loaf of their freshly-baked challah to go, perfect for making the best French toast.
