I don't mind paying the 6 Euro because I don't feel cheated when I bite into avocado, mozzarella and basil mayo.

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.

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.

You choose your bagel type (they have loads: multiseed, poppy, rye, wholemeal, cheese, plain etc) and one of the many fillings on the menu, or you can make your own. I always get the mushroom melt, which is a fresh burst of flavours: spinach, red peppers, mushrooms and cheese. This branch also does a killer Vanilla Chai Latte that compliments the mushroom melt quite well.
