Beigel Bake, Brick Lane - love it!

[editor]

I love this place. Top bagels, cheap as fuck and open all night. One of the few East London things I'm envious of...

I love this place too, but I prefer the one a few doors down, less queuing and you get a wider selection of cakes

I don't want cakes. I want hot, fresh bagels!

 

[nagapie]

Cake is definitely not wanted after a big night out.

I like buying things in "half dozens" too.

When I used to stay with a pal off the Cambridge Heath Road we always used to pop in their for beigels and get them free cos her mate worked in there. 2 cream cheese, 2 salmon & cream cheese and 2 coffees, lovely jubbly.

I haven't been to Brick Lane since I had a baby and now only go clubbing south of the river twice a year.

 

[blossie33]

Yes, I like it too.
I was taken there when I was first living in London.

Yes there is, it's not bad. Not great, but not bad. Nearer Camberwell than E & C.

Not to mention better bagels. Tourists > Beigel Bake

We always used to end up in there at 5 in the morning, eyes like saucers, and then the pigs would come in but it seemed like a safe house, they could never be bothered to hassle any of the obviously muntered customers.

My favourite 24 hour bagel place is on Kingsland Road in Dalston, opposite the big cop shop.

the one in the photo is better if you're out for the salt beef but the yellow fronted one is superior for everything else.

 

[Citizen66]

Only outsiders go to Brick Lane bagel shops for the bagels.

To your regular, inebriated, local: It's all about the salt beef sandwiches.

 

[ohmyliver]

I love both of them.. but I'm not sure which one is better. Jewish friends of mine rate Beigel bake as being better, but I think that's more due to the fact that the yellow fronted one does such treif abominations as bacon bagels.

Although an old East End Jewish cabbie recommended the one at the bottom of Stoke Newington Road as doing the best bagels in London.

I really miss having it within 10 mintues walk, and the really very mixed clientèle you get there at 4am in the morning.

Oh, and salt beef on onion platzel with mustard and pickle for the huge sandwich win.

rubbish, I was a local for 5 years, and loved rocking up there at bleery o'clock the morning after for bagels and or platzels, or rye bread to make breakfast with.

I was obviously referring to myself. Unless you really believe I carried out some kind of survey?

Anyone told you recently what an utter CUNT you are nobhead?

 

[starfish]

I can remember a very good bagel place which i used to go to when visiting my aunt in when she lived in Hendon. Was over 20 years ago though but i think its still there.

Well, I've clearly upset you. So must be doing something right.

 

[fogbat]

I wish I had a stalky impersonator

Fagbat, Nobbat, Fogtwat. There are plenty of options available. I hope to see you soon.

 

[Stigmata]

I go to the other one- usually have a chicken bagel but apparently the liver sausage is good too.

so it was so good you've never returned. hmmm...

 

[ska invita]

Their beigels are too sweet. the place next door too. so there. I still like it there though.

Grodzinski Bakery in Dunsmure Rd N16 is great. I went to primary school round there. yum. If you go there on a Friday afternoon before sabbath its a trip. UNless you're an orthodox Jew, in which case its very mundane.

always seem to catch plain clothes cops in there in the early hours
