Brick Lane has always been the go to hot spot for this delicacy, but I had the misfortune to pass this on the South Bank near the London Eye. Pity the tourists. £16.50 for salmon & cream cheese?

  2. Might be cheaper to fly to New York and buy the real thing there

  3. £16.50 for a fucking bagel?

    £5 for a hash brown?

    What the actual fuck.

    Dick Turpin would be proud.

  4. You’d have to be very stupid, no sympathy from me. It’s not even being advertised as a London delicacy.

  5. With the cost of a bagel I can eat for two days. Have they lost their mind?

  9. Is that the one at the southbank centre? The prices were gruesome there yesterday

  10. £9 for a bagel with a schmear? Jesus. I know it’s not apples to apples, but that would cost you a few dollars in New York. Criminal

  13. This is ridiculous. It would be cheaper to get on the train to Brick Lane and get a proper fresh bagel filled with smoked salmon and cream cheese for £4.50. [https://www.beigelbake.co.uk/](https://www.beigelbake.co.uk/)

  14. Yeah piss off with all of those, stop validating these rip off food stalls (to people that go)

  17. Lmaoooooooooooo how is anyone stupid enough 🤣

  22. Absolutely no need to entertain these ripoffs. Lovely fella in Peckham does fantastic bagels ranging between £3.50–£6. Makes each bagel fresh for each customer. Tiny little kiosk and always has a queue down the street. Opens until 1AM on Saturday nights.

  24. For those wondering where this is, it’s right next to the London Eye on the South Bank, so prime tourist tat area. Went there yesterday and saw a big queue. They are not targeting locals. I guess tourists have no frame of reference for prices, or they just expect to pay lots of money on holiday.

    I can’t comment on the quality cos I’m not paying 15 quid for a bagel but it looked pretty average. Not horrendous but very basic.

  25. I know it’s not the point but the addition of tomato a salmon and cream cheese bagel sounds awful. It’ll just make everything sloppy and wet.

  29. Five quid for a fucking hash brown ?! That’s like 2000% mark up, who’d seriously pay for this ?!

  30. Queueing to pay £10 for some bread with cream cheese is fucking embarrassing lmao

  31. Why share an experience of a place then hide what the place is?

    Google is there for your whining.

  33. Had free bagels there when opening. Sure they were nice, but in no way worth the price tag. Beigel bake is cheaper and definitely still better

  35. It’s one bagel Michael how much could it cost? Fifteen quid?

  37. Wait, this is Utopia Bagels? From Queens?? 😂😂😂 We used to go there after clubbing as teenagers, in like 1981/82. Holy shit. It’s a small, nondescript storefront on the highway. They’re just standard bagels, like you can get anywhere for less than a dollar each. 🤣🤣🤣 oh man, this is priceless. Gotta hand it to them, though. They’ve managed to take a cheap, mundane staple and market it into… this. I can’t. 🤣🤣🤣

  40. As there’s a lot of opinions here, I’ll ask: where are the good gluten free bagels? B bagel is the only one I know so far.

  41. At that price I hope they’re the same size as the ones above the stand
