I haven't been to a Bagel Factory in ages for some unknown reason…read more That day I had a lot time to spend while waiting for my car to get fixed around the corner. So I started with a chicken Caesar on a multiseed bagel and a cappuccino. The bagel might have been a bit too crisp / dry but still tasted like I remembered and liked them. Later I had a hot chocolate with marshmallows (surprisingly two big ones) and an americano and for lunch a chilly tuna melt again on a multiseed bagel - this time perfectly fine. In total I spend a good four hours here and loved the atmosphere. As it is a bit off the beaten track it's rather people from the surrounding offices coming in - a lot of them regulars that got greeted accordingly. The staff didn't mind at all me sitting there for so long and was very friendly to me and everyone else. But most of all I enjoyed how relaxed it was sitting there. So even if you're just sitting down for one bagel or sandwich - being surrounded by features of a Georgian house - even with mantelpiece - makes you feel like sitting in a living room.

My gf had a breakfast bagel, which comes with a small coffee till noon (~5 €). They have two outside tables, so you can sit outside while you enjoy your breakfast.

The coffees are quite large and I found mine to be enjoyable. My husband was less than satisfied with his, but he's a bit snobby about his coffee. The bagels are large. I ordered mine with just cream cheese and it was delicious. His lox didn't have capers so he was a bit salty over it. All in all was a fine place to get the morning started!

I came quite late to the whole bagel craze ("look, bread with a hole in it!"), and I must confess…read morethat I am very conflicted about the whole enterprise. Now it is true that the Breakfast Bagel from The Bagel Bar is pretty aces, and with a spot of tomato relish is bordering on the divine. And while €5.50 for what is essentially a sandwich is a little steep, you can sit down and eat it in comfort, so that's ok. My beef with the bagel is that no matter how big the filling (and a Breakfast Bagel's filling is pretty decadent), I find that you're never really filled up. Maybe it's the hole or something, but a filled bagel never completely fills me. And, I was rather shocked to learn that a bagel contains the equivalent of FIVE SERVINGS OF BREAD! Holy mother, something that doesn't even fill you up has enough carbohydrate to set your ass jiggling for weeks on end! Me, I'm going to stick to bread that is in slices, thank you very much. You know where you are with bread that comes in slices.

There should be a better class of bagel, more ways to consume it, and they better watch those prices (says me). I've never turned down their Stars & Stripes on poppyseed (never really could pin down what about that is starry or stripey) and a cup of the watery coffee they insist on serving... just seems like the American thing to do. But wait, why settle? With alternatives like Itsa and Bagel Bar ready to take the bagel bravado from the Factory, I suggest they get wise to making these circles of carb heaven right!

I have a bit of a beef with the Bagel Factory. First of all, they only have 4 types of bagels…read more Second of all, you couldn't buy a bulk number of bagels, like 6 or a dozen or a container of cream cheese to take home. This is just standard bagel shop stuff! At first I was thinking oh well they haven't had bagels in Ireland for that long... but this place has been in business for 13 years. They should know by now the RULES of BAGELS. I'm from the States where a bagel place has like, 30 kinds of bagels and buying a bunch of bagels won't set you back an arm and a leg. I suppose I am spoiled and should stop being such a brat. Because Bagel Factory does make some pretty good sandwiches. They're filling and rather creative (one has bacon and guacamole on it, yum!) and priced alright. The shop only has a few stools at a counter and so it's more of a grab and go kind of place. The staff was friendly and quick.
