Great coffee art ! And it's hot choc is good too! Of course their Bacon bagel with cranberry and avocado(unless you dislike avocado ). Good service :3 but good food deserves a wait!

Sam Franklin

Get here early for your coffee to secure a seat . . . The queue on a Saturday outside was long at noon! Chat and relax before ordering amazing bagels - the smoked salmon was great and plenty of it.

Yarn Lam

Popped by on a weekday for brunch - place was full but no queue. Pulled pork bagel and chorizo bagel were recommended. Tender and juicy meat, great flavour on the pulled pork !

VJ Samuel

The bagels are amazing here and their coffees are spectacular. The ambiance of this place is so classic and surreal. Placed in an alleyway, it's definitely worth the visit. Always bustling with people

Excellent ambiance and really good coffee . I could only afford one trip here, and wish I had planned for at least two visits!

Emily Doong

The latte and flat white is the best I've ever had! That's saying a lot considering I spent a lot of time in Milan!

Kevin To

Great Avocado and Fetta Open Bagel ! Very generous serving of avocado and can be quite filling! Get in before 8am to avoid the wait.

That what I call it a really good coffee ... love everything about it ????????

Janice Cheng

Pulled pork bagel ! ???? pulled pork taste really good but the bagel was a lil bit hard. Will definitely come back again.

Sara Allard

Gluten free bagels are great! Loved the smashed avo & feta topping too. Good quality loose leaf green tea .

Vic McGin

Big, big portions , excellent coffee and great ambiance. All down a tucked away alley.

Red Foz

Gosh, the pulled pork bagel exceeded my expectations. Full of flavour and moist, unlike the dry ones you experience else where in Melbourne. Coffee is great too, had to get a second one!

Mia Katt

What a difference a year makes. Believe the hype! The bagels , coffee and service are delish. I also had the best muffin of my life.

Riza van Malabro

Went here this morning. Everything was nice. Waiters was friendly ...but I think guy at register better put little smile on his face when dealing with customer. Just start ur morning with smile:)

Gill

Best coffee !! And if you want to make it extra special make sure you get a face on it!! Bagels are also absolutely to die for and even compete with those in NY!!

Chai Latte

Nice atmosphere and not too bad coffee but the phone reception is not too good. A good spot to hide away from people in the busy city .

Jenny Chang

The vegan bagel was amazing! Would definitely recommend it (even to non-vegans)

Katherine Blood

Good coffee . Great breakfast bagels . Slow cooked pulled pork was amazing and so was banana bacon mascarpone and maple syrup !

VJ Lee

It was yummy food. I like bagel as it reminds me of NYC! Cool vibes there too

陳玟成 Edwin Ding

Great coffee and the pulled pork bagel too...but the portion is a bit small for the price.

Giuseppe Spina

The bagels were excellent which is why you come here. I'd recommend the pulled pork one. Lovely airy atmosphere.

Tomfoolery

Great coffee . They have gluten-free bagels !! Get the BMAT (bacon , mozzarella , like half an avocado , tomato )

Lachlan McDonald

Salmon bagel w/ side of avocado , beautiful! Good coffee , short wait if just for two. Well priced.

Coffee coffee coffee ! Heaps of good food available, nice and hidden away in the heart of Melbourne

Fantastic coffee - often very crowded during lunch , so pop your name on the wait list by the door as soon as you arrive.

Ratih

Raisin bagel with mascarpone & blueberry jam is simple, sweet heaven! Friendly services too! And loving my bunny on my cappuccino !

Get a chorizo bagel and some coffee , and for the coffee nerd, hop back out to Brother Baba Budan to continue the caffeination. Recommended.

Pruedence Pung

Quite difficult to find at its located in an alley. Crowded and mostly shared tables. Coffee is quite good. Chia pudding pretty good thou slightly expensive .

Ykee Ku

Good coffee and hip . Tucked in a quiet laneway

Jordan McKenna

Nice space. Single origin changed regularly and staff were knowledgable about cupping notes.

Josef Herbert

The pulled pork though ✌ down the alley and a bit hidden

Dan Pavlides

Great coffee that's worth lining up for. Try the ham and cheese toasted bagel , thank me later.

Roz Thomas

Great coffee and wonderful bagels .

The cafe is down an alleyway. Look for the cafe name on the wall. The sliding doors are flush with the brickwork.

Julia Kate

Must have pulled pork ! It is incredible! Coffee is amazeballs as well !
