    Simply delicious. The salted beef is so tender and the mustard perfectly balances the salty of the beef with its spice and acidity, all combined with the tenderness and chewiness of the bagel. Luv it

    This place is phenomenal and arguably the best deal in Brick Lane...salt beef beigel is what it's best known for, but the salmon and cream cheese beigels w "all salad" are insanely good

    The bagels here are amazing! And so cheap! Great value. The smoked salmon and cream cheese one is delicious. But the salt beef is the best here! So good, and very plentiful. The mustard is hot!

    Tasty bagels done efficiently. It's a small place so don't be douchy, figure out what you want whilst queuing, take your food and don't crowd around the door. Let others get to the bagel goodness

    Possibly the best cured meat sandwiches this side of the Atlantic (think Loesser's or Katz's). The salt beef bagel is an incredible treat; ask for it with a tiny bit of pickles and mustard.

    Simply put, the best bagels in London. And they're super cheap – you can get a salmon & cream cheese one and a bottle of water for just £2.2. The meat and mustard bagel is also worth trying.

    Excellent beigels, cakes and bread. The salt beef beigel here is the best, anywhere, they’re the best I’ve tasted in any bakery in any city, in any country

    Love this place but the matriarch could be a bit friendlier; I always feel that I'm inconveniencing her by ordering something!

    Coming here is regulation for Londoners up late; a stack of salt beef that’s superb any time, even after a full meal. The bagels are ultra correctly boiled before they’re baked. Read more

    The salted beef beigel is delicious (don't forget the mustard). Staff's not rude, just busy. Pro tip: Ask them when there's a next round of hot-out-of-the-oven beigels being served. Then get a dozen.

    Just order the salt beef bagel with mustard and pickled gherkins, ask them to warm it up for you and you’ll be in Bagel heaven 👍🏾 👍🏾 ❤️❤️❤️

    Salt beef bagel of the gods! When in the area, particularly a night out with friends, I'm sure to pop in. So generous with the beef and you've got to have it with the kicking mustard and a gherkin :)

    Salt beef beigel for 3.70 is a must in London. You can buy plain beigels for 0.25 each and desserts for about 0.60. This place is one of the best in town, don't miss it. The queue is very fast.

    London’s best bagel, sorry, beigel. Salt beef, of course, but also saw many people order it plain with just cream cheese. Any topping works because the beigels are heavenly. Eat ‘em hot!

    This is much better than the yellow bagel place next door. Trust me, I'm a New Yorker. Neither is a an NYC bagel, but this is the best in London and delicious in its own right.

    Incredible prices for London. And what a salt beef bagel they have! There's always so much attitude from staff, I think they are there since Victorian era 😅

    very good value for money, not a fan of the salt beef one. Doesn’t beat a NY bagel with more toppings

    There is a lot to be said for coming here at an obscure hour and devouring a salt beef bagel with pickle and mustard, sipping scalding tea and absorbing the neighbourhood. London institution!

    This place is open 24/7 and offers some delicious bagels. My faves are the tuna and salmon ones, followed by the one with nutella if you have a bit of a sweet tooth

    Best beigel shop in London (don’t call them bagels- they aren’t the same!) Salt beef one is excellent. Be prepared to queue, especially on a Sunday when the market is on. Open 24hrs.

    Open 24/7, this bakery exudes a rough Cockney charm. Main attractions: salt beef and an entertaining customer mix.

    The best bagels all over London. You must try hot salted beef bagel with mustard. Amazing! Everything here is really fresh. There is always queue but u are served quickly. Recommended!

    They have good bagels, but not amazing toppings. The smoke salmon is super cheap, and the smoke ham over-salt. A great place for tourists, an outstanding shop for students and under budget folks.

    Quintessential place to go to for all visitors to London. Delicious, simple bagels baked daily. Served with salted beef or smoked salmon. Watch out for the mustard on the beef option 🌶🌶🌶

    This place is absolutely legendary. Salt Beef Beigal will fill you up, but the rest of the beigals are inexpensive, nice, and delish. Always go hot mustard on the salt beef. 24 hours of beigal.

    While I was in London 2 weeks ago I went to this highly recommended salt beef bagel in Brick Lane. I am not sure had I ordered a wrong thing? I have one in Borough Market the bagel much tastier

    1) get a salt beef beigel. 2) don't call it a bagel, they don't like that. (Soup Nazi rules are in effect here)

    If you haven't tried the salt beef bagel, put it on your bucket list! Smoked salmon less than half the price, plain butter is 30p. The angry service is all part of the experience! Generous fillings.

    Great bagels for a great value of money and open 24hours. Go for the salty beef or salmon with cream cheese. Cash only, but there are ATMs close by.

    Nothing fancy but the food is delicious and of great value. All desserts like the almond slice are under a pound, and the salt beef bagel is extremely satisfying.

    Salt beef bagels. Go there and get one of those. Best thing I have ever eaten on the go. Staff is like "Take your sh*t and get the f*ck out'a here" though.

    24 hours running shop selling chewy bagels and coffee. Only take away. Good for quick breakfast or lunch. I liked cream cheese bagels but my friend liked plane ones. Pretzel was not so good.

    Great value bagels and baked things....but just don't drink the English tea. It's been stewing for ages and you will feel like your face will implode from how bitter it is.

    Super crowded on the weekend, tourists will crash this place. But nice and calm during the week, simple, self-made bagels (see the kitchen as you order), super, super cheap.

    Salt beef bagel with mayo is a good idea if you're not a mustard fan like me. My mate also recommends the smoked salmon bagel. Great taste and super cheap at £1.40

    Finally made it here after two years in London. Huge juicy chunks of salt beef with hot mustard in a fresh bagel/beigel. Can't go wrong!

    You can't go wrong with the salt beef bagel. Avoid on Sundays as there's an endless queue

    No doubt: salt beef bagel is the best in the whole city. Massively filled and cheaper than other bagel shops around, it won't disappoint you!

    Yep, the salt beef beigel with mustard and pickle is the move. Just don’t compare it to bagels in NYC. It’s a different beast entirely.

    Amazing these places are open 24 hours, who would have thought it would be a thing. Recharge with a Salt Beef Bagel after a long night out.
