So glad I came across this place. Always trying to find good bagels in Australia! Great little spot tucked away from the busy street. Goldie lox was delicious and coffee nice too!

Bagels were fresh and toppings were plentiful. Great deal where you only have to add $3 for a coffee too! Will be back for a quick CBD lunch :)

Ngl I didn’t understand the appeal with bagels because I’ve always had ones that were hard or dry. It was just tiring to eat?? And of course Bobby’s was able to convert me! We had: Newyorker $15 Pastrami, pickles, dijon aioli, raw greens slaw The Reuben $16 Beef brisket, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, pickles, thousand island dressing Goldie Lox $16 Herbed cream cheese, smoked salmon, cucumber, capers, onion The bagels itself had a crisp exterior and were dense with a good chew, all the components used tasted fresh. The Reuben in particular had juicy tender flavourful beef, and the slight bitterness of swiss cheese complemented so well. Sauerkraut added a good crunch and sourness. For a lighter protein the Goldie Lox is recommended, the herbed cream cheese was especially tasty! They were surprisingly filling despite the appearance!

A must visit during the week for delicious bagels, refreshing drinks or your daily dose of coffee! The bagels here are really fresh with delicious fillings. You also get to choose the type of bagel buns you want to have. My favourite were the blueberry buns (perfect to pair with their Goldie Lox bagel!) and their “everything” buns. We had: New Yorker Pastrami, Gruyere, Pickles, Dijon Aioli, Green - this is such a classic American style bagel! Yum! Goldie Lox Herbed Cream Cheese, Smoked Salmon, Cucumber, Capers, Onion - my favourite! Great flavours combo, especially when paired with blueberry buns. So delish. Caprese Bagel Bocconcini, Sliced Avo, Fresh Tomato, Pesto, Basil. If you love bocconcini cheese, this is your bagel! Bacon & Egg Bagel Uncle’s Bacon, Free Range Egg, Tomato Relish, Dijon Aioli - Their relish really takes Bacon & egg combo to another level Their fruity soda mix drinks are really refreshing during warmer days! Highly recommended hidden little cafe in the heart of Melbourne CBD.
