Having gotten seriously bored of the breakfast options in the City, I wandered in here to try and mix things up. It's the closest thing in the neighborhood resembling the delis / street cart vendors you find everywhere in the US. The first time, I got smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on a toasted sesame bagel. This is a little unconventional - they offer it on a sandwich, but they also offer toasted bagels, so I took the initiative of combining the two and they were more than happy to oblige. You can have your eggs fried or scrambled, and I went with scrambled, but I definitely like that they ask (Birley's is only fried, Creed Lane Kitchen is only scrambled). They also asked if I wanted lemon juice and fresh black pepper on it, and of course I said yes! And this was all only £4. What a bargain.
Then today, I went back and got the ham and cheese omelette on a toasted plain bagel. This also normally comes in sandwich form, but I really like their bagels, which are much closer to your standard bagels than the tiny things Birley's calls bagels. I didn't get a sauce with it, but the omelette was quite tasty on its own, and didn't really need seasoning. This omelette / bagel combination only cost me £3.80. I love this place already and can't wait to keep experimenting with custom breakfast options. read more
