Bagelcafe88

First comes a crisp bite through the outside, followed by a springy, chewy centre. Diners have remarked on the contrast in texture at Bagelcafe88. The caramel pumpkin bagel, in particular, has been described as crisp outside and soft and chewy within. Other options include plain, whole wheat, sesame and sansho pepper Parmesan, spanning sweet flavours and varieties that pair well with a meal.

For something more substantial, consider a smoked salmon sandwich. One diner reported that smoked salmon, cream cheese and herbs worked well together in a bagel. Another enjoyed half-size portions of sweet bean paste with cream cheese and fresh salmon with cream cheese, making these a good way to try different combinations. Sandwiches are listed on the menu, alongside toppings such as sweet bean paste, sweet edamame paste, plain cream cheese, and herb and garlic cream cheese. There is a choice between a sweeter topping and a cream-cheese combination better suited to a savoury meal.

Breakfast options are available, and you can eat in or take your bagel away. A diner who ate in reported that ordering a drink was required, so consider choosing a coffee or latte if you plan to sit down. The menu lists coffee hot or iced, as well as lattes, matcha lattes and brown sugar lattes. You can also take bagels home: pair a sweet one with coffee for breakfast, or choose a sandwich for a more filling lunch.
