Original Bagel – Golden Lane Estate

Original Bagel – Golden Lane Estate, 2025/26 Good Food Award winner – Gold Seal.

Nestled on the edge of the Golden Lane Estate, Original Bagel has carved out a loyal following with its unapologetically bold flavours, warm service, and a menu that celebrates the humble bagel in all its glory.

With a distinctly American influence — think salt beef, mustard and pickles — paired with locally sourced ingredients, this independent eatery has become a go-to for breakfast lovers, office workers, and bagel aficionados alike. The team’s commitment to freshness is evident in every bite, whether you’re tucking into a classic egg and cheese or customising your own creation with avocado, meat and more.

Customers consistently praise the quality and consistency of the food, with many singling out the salt beef bagel as a standout favourite. “Perfect bagels made to perfection,” one reviewer wrote, while another described it as “a great way to start the day.” Coffee is no afterthought either — freshly roasted and served with care, it’s the ideal companion to a warm, toasted bagel.

Whether you’re popping in for a quick bite, ordering ahead for the office, or catering an event, Original Bagel delivers with charm, flavour and a sense of pride that’s hard to miss.
