Brick Lane Beigel Bakery

This is a superb place with decent prices. Brings back memories of the east end of the sixties. No frills, just good good food and service. Absolutely fabulous and the women who work there are great! My only hope is that the trendies don't end up taking this over too!

Yesterday was my first time at the famous Beigel Bake and I wasn't disappointed. I went for the salmon and cream cheese in one and then hot salt beef, even hotter mustard and crunchy gherkins in the other. The beigels were brimming with fillings and really reasonably priced. My only regret was that I didn't go for any of the gorgeous looking cakes on offer!

I can see now why this place is such an institution in London and I'll try to get there everytime I go down to the smoke.

This Biegel Shop is the only place in London I have found with real Biegels.

The nasty American Bagels are not cooked in the same way and are horribly doughy.

Brick Lane Biegel bake is a true piece of London, It always has a queue and always has a friendly smile. I buy two dozen abd freeze them..

I have been going to the Beigel Bakery for absolute years...

I just read some reviews and all those of you who love this plae must get it.

The person who claims she's had a toasted beigel here, must have been going to the 'fake' shop next door and the American has obviously never had a proper beigel in his life.

Bagels with an A are an Americanisation of a perfectly wonderful jewish type of bread the 'beigel'.

The Brick Lane Bigel shop is old school... it's kosher and it is what it is - and it's perfect.

The Americans love toasting their bagels and putting lashings of fancy cream cheese on their Bagels and don't even feel embarrased by topping it with some bacon...

This place however, does not do this.

It's an authentic place - and if you're not interested in the realness of it please stay away - it means I don't have to queue for my little piece of heaven; a salt beef beigel with enough mustard to make you cry.

delicious!

I found this place a few weeks ago whilst working away in London. We spotted it on the night after a curry and we went for breakfast the next day. I had the salt beef bagel with lashings of mustard and gherkins and was back for a second visit later that day for another! Greedy I know! My mate had cream cheese and salmon for breakfast and salt beef for lunch after tasting mine - he hasnt eaten meet for 5 years! The bagels are the best I have ever tasted!!! Yum!

I really can't believe anyone would give this place a bad rating (the american down the page!), the bagels are amazing and I have never tasted them as good anywhere else! I have walked miles and paid loads in a cab after a night out just to get to this place. The people who work there are always so friendly - the ideal place to go after a night out. I always buy loads to take home with me and the cakes are good too! Beigel Bake RULES!!

I just love this place and of course the salt beef and mustard bagels. It's fast moving and they don't take any prisoners so make sure you know what you want and have you money ready. Nothing beats having a salt beef bagel at midday on a sunday whilst your meandering around the local markets. Perfect!!!

Fantastic place. Popped in after a night on the hoy for a Liver sausage Beigel. Seriously kicks lumps out of any Beigel you'd buy in a supermarket...crispy & fresh. Next day popped round again for a Salt Beef sarnie for Lunch. Slabs of tasty Salt Beef on good bread.....real meal in itself. Also bought some home bakes...try the assorted 90p a bag. Also many other tempting bakes on show...massive Eccles cakes for 50p a throw. Get yersel round there....Pret A Manger my arse!
