Considered the first 'proper' bagel shop to open in Bangkok, this minimalist little bakery serves up sumptuous bagels simply slathered in cream cheese or beefed up with home-roasted meats and top-shelf add-ons.

The brainchild of an American and a Thai who simply decided that Bangkok needed real bagels, the merchandise is boiled and then baked to chewy centre, shiny crust Brooklyn-style perfection. If you're not on the move, pull up a counter-style stool and make use of the free Wi-Fi while you tuck in.
