They’re not skimpy with their portions, I can tell you that.

I got smoked salmon, capers, tomatoes, red onion, dill and garlic cream cheese on a sesame bagel.

The other bagel you see is an everything bagel with hash brown, halloumi, bacon and hot honey.

My cousin really enjoyed her bagel, which left her stuffed. She was unable to finish the bagel.

I was able to eat all of my bagel, as it felt light on my stomach- probably due to my choice of fillings. It tasted great and very fresh. The flavours really complimented each other.

I got an iced latte, which was okay. My cousin got a regular latte. She describes herself as a “coffee connoisseur” and said that their coffee was great. I was less enthusiastic about it.

We decided to eat in. The food and drinks came quickly, which was fantastic.

For my bagel and iced latte, it cost £11.80. I genuinely can’t tell if that’s a steal, normal, or on the pricier side. As a young adult, who has witnessed rapid and crazy inflation, my sense (of how much things should cost) is warped.

Overall, I would definitely go again.

If you decide to go, research their menu beforehand. My bagel was called the “Lox” bagel. It felt weird asking for it, but I suppose it’s easier than describing everything you want on your bagel.

If you’ve ever tried Bodega Bagels, how would you rate it? I’ve heard that it’s overrated, but my cousin and I really enjoyed our experience.

  1. Not tried it but been meaning too for a long while (not in the City very often)

    Do they give an option to toast the bagel? 😂 I love toasted bagels 🤤

  2. Looks the part, well filled (not skimpy on the filling) , although I’d say £8-9 for both drink & bagel would have been plenty, but hey it’s 2025, onwards & upwards with prices!

  3. Thanks for reminding me of this place – Thats my weekly lunch treat sorted for this week…

    (I had a Hero Sub last week…. First time… that’ll take some beating tbf)

  4. Used to be one called bagel bagel beside the university of Ulster, sadly think it closed down. I still dream of those bagels

  5. Decent, breath of fresh air someone not complaining about something on here

  8. Been getting from Bodega since they set up in Banana Block, really nice meal tbh and for what it is it’s pretty reasonably priced. Everything bite just feels fresh

  9. That bacon, halloumi and hash brown bagel is just incredible. I want to try other stuff on the menu but why risk when it’s that good.

  11. “As a young adult, who has witnessed rapid and crazy inflation, my sense (of how much things should cost) is warped.” So jealous of this, when I look at prices these days I become more and more like my mother, I remember when this cost……

  12. Not a vegan / vegetarian but had their veggie Christmas bagel last month and it was pretty good. Came with a vegan gravy dipping pot which made it even better.
