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.

Went there for Breakfast while staying in the Camden Court Hotel. I had the "all day eggworks" (~5…read more€) and a medium cafe Latte (which was rather large, ~3€). 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 bagels tasted good and fresh, the Coffee was also good and even the small one was large enough to get your motor running ;-) Overall a good alternative to the pricey hotel breakfast.

The new location has plenty more space: it apparently seats 50 people now. But the menu hasn't changed and the bagels are still as delicious as ever. I have to admit that being originally from Montreal, the land of bagels, I'm sucker for this type of bread. itsa... makes wonderful combinations such as The Californian and The Deluxe. I don't mind paying the 6 Euro because I don't feel cheated when I bite into avocado, mozzarella and basil mayo. They do offer cheaper options like the one where you can get a toasted buttered bagel and a tea/coffee for 3 Euro. Breakfast of champions!

When you live in Germany one tends to be quite particular when it comes to bread and bakeries :-)…read moreThis is a great bakery that has been around a long time. They have breads, pastries, cakes, biscuits and desserts of different kinds. They also have nice bagels here and their bread theme is about varieties from different parts of the world like France, USA, Ireland, UK and perhaps other European countries. The only thing missing for me was the dense seeded breads so common in Germany. It would be nice to have one or two of those here. Their stuff is good and I loved their fruit scones, granary bread and bagels. Happily come here again. Staff are nice and their products are fresh.

Friendly and quick as usual but the bagel itself was a bit flat in taste. But did the job. A not on the seating - which hasn't neccessarily to do with the Bagel Factory: There is a group of tables with thee in a row quite narrow beside eachother. When I arrive the ones at the outsides were all occupied so I had to go for a middle one. Which was very awkward with luggage and a tablet in my hands. I had to leave my tablet on someones table, get rid of my luggage and then grab my food. Definitely not ideal in a place where people are likely to have at least hand luggage if not even suitcases too.

There…read moreis no reason to purchase anything from this loathsome branch when there are whole conglomerates of eateries available within Dublin Airport. There is a delightful branch of Starbucks just above it on the first floor providing a tranquil place to chill with a coffee/ and or muffin/ and or sandwich if you have got time to kill before a flight. The mere existence of somewhere as revered as this branch of Starbucks located more or less next to it puts into perspective how ghastly the bagels offered up by this branch really are. They are saturated in grease and after eating one having come off a long flight and not knowing any better in a haze of tiredness, I actually felt nauseous. The 'Swiss Meatball Melt' consisted of desiccated meatballs that were falling to bits, sickly swiss cheese that left a very dodgy aftertaste and arrabiata sauce that wasn't so much mouth-watering tomato and chilli but wrinkled tomatoes minus any searing chilli to liven things up. I was left feeling wholly disgruntled and rather woozy. Of course places like McDonalds and Burger King serve food that is as high in saturated fat and equally as unhealthy but the food doesn't necessarily ostensibly communicate this. However the aesthetic unattractiveness and dripping oil from these bagels is stomach-turning. My advice is to embark on the very short journey up the escalator to indulge in something, not even (in the context of The Bagel Factory) more lavish but merely fit for human consumption would be all you ask.

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.

The first day we arrived to Dublin, I had a bit of a headache. I sent my husband in search of coffee and a bite in the hopes of warding off the headache. He brought back a tuna melt and mocha from The Bald Barista. Both were excellent. The tuna melt was herbaceous and flavorful and the mocha was the perfect blend or rich chocolate and strong espresso. So, a few days later when my mom arrived and was hoping for coffee and a bite, I said--I've got just the place! On that visit, we enjoyed our coffee and food in house. You order at the counter where you enter and if you're dining in, you simply take the stairs to the dining room and they'll bring you both your food and coffee. This time, I ordered the same coffee (why mess with a good thing) and a yogurt with everything (fruit, nuts, seeds--the works!). The shop itself is cute, warm, and inviting. The service is top notch with beautifully friendly folks working in here (including the Bald Barista himself). If you're in Dublin and are looking for an exemplary cuppa and some tasty bites served with a smile--this is your spot. Get to it!
