Beigel Bake

Even if Beigel Bake is really not a traditional restaurant I just have to write about this fantastic shop.  And if you think I didn't write the title correctly; it's actually named Beigel. But it's still the same round buns with a hole in the middle that origins from the Jewish cuisine, named Bagel in U.S.  What an experience!

 

There are two beigel shops close to each other on Brick Lane and I was told to choose the white one (the sign on the other one is yellow).  There is nothing fancy about this shop, it's all about the product. People just come here to get amazing beigels.  The shop is open 24/7 and is a famous place for a night snack after a night out. 

 

Cooking the beigels

Not all kitchens appreciate when you take photos but these guys gladly posed in my pictures. It shows that they believe in what they are producing.

 I've read some other reviews from Beigel Bake and almost everybody is worshipping their beigels. Especially the beigel with salted meat is a must. Not knowing that at the time I went for the

Beigel with cream cheese and salmon £1.60

There are so many great things about this place. First, I was surprised that the price could be so low. Second, the beigels are very fresh since they are making them all the time. Third, the taste - delish!  The only thing i regret was eating breakfast that morning and being too full to go in for one more.
