    In my tour of Wellington's culinary Americana, this was one of the somewhat disappointing places I tried. They are heavy on style, with a visible bagel oven and cutesy names for bagel sandwiches that they shout out with each order in call and order form. However, the bagel itself was a lot of money for what it was, and while the texture and taste were a bit better than what I've had in Australia, it wasn't up to the robust flavor of an Einstein Brothers bagel, let alone some top-flight New York place. My bagel also tasted a tad off in bits, as if some cutting implement or something wasn't cleaned properly when it was sliced, so I wasn't thrilled about that.

    This is a cute little cafe off of Cuba Street where you can watch them making the fresh bagels. Customer service was great. I wasn't sure what to expect from Montreal style bagels when we're used to NY style. Well it was absolutely delicious!! I ordered the Koko (chocolate spread and butter) and my husband ordered the Butter Up! (just butter on the bagel). The bagel was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and the sesame seeds added the perfect extra touch of flavor and texture. Our flat whites were also perfect. I would highly recommend this place if you want a delicious and quick bite to eat with a nice cup of coffee.

    The tastiest bagel I ever eaten in my whole life. Super cool vibe & bagel oven thing.

    First time to try Best Ugly Bagels - in such a modern age what a pleasure it is to watch young vibrant Artisians execute their craft with attitude and pride - and the taste of a fresh bagel straight from the wood fired oven - amazing!!!! Strongly recommend to savour the whole experience, the team work together so well, calling out each persons order in unison as they craft each meal, and the wait is minimal especially when you have velvety smooth barrista coffee made with my favourite Havana Beans.

    Devilishly good An incredible array of freshly baked bagels, served pretty much any way you wish!…read moreFancy bacon on a chocolate bagel? You got it? My favourite is a sundried tomato cream cheese and vegetarian salad filling on an 'everything' bagel - a delicious bagel with onions, rock salt and other goodies. But you can also select pumpernickel bagels, onion bagels, or just boring old plain bagels. Not to mention the many incredible homemade cream cheeses, ranging from jalepino to walnut! The service is fast, the prices reasonable, the food delicious and the coffee fantastic. I'm in heaven. The central location makes it the perfect place to catch-up with friends or catch a bite to eat in between a shopping mission. And very convenient either by foot or by bus. The only downside is that it shuts at 4pm most days - it would be better if it closed later, so you could grab a bagel when the stores have closed! But oh well, I guess the staff need to take a rest sometime The other thing is that it can be pretty chilly in winter, especially if you're close to the door, which is propped open continuously. But all that aside, it's a brilliant place to grab a bite to eat. Doughy goodness! Oh - and if you fancy more naughtiness, check out the lemon pies. Wholly sinful - and who wants to be good anyway?

    Shockingly bad service at this wholly bagels.

Anyone would have thought he was a criminal. First he was told that the voucher was not valid at this store (despite us pointing out it states for all stores) then he was told he would have to purchase something to redeem the voucher (which you don't). They begrudgingly served him in the end but gave him the most half arsed bagel I have ever seen. My son was incredibly embarrassed when the guy slammed the order down in the table and stormed off. Not professional at all an really poor form to do that to a 11yo who was pretty proud of winning the voucher. We have NEVER come across this at any other wholly bagels!!
