The Bagel Bar

well perfect place for students! It’s only across the road from National College of Ireland! While waiting for my next exam i went to grab some lunch there and enjoyed my bagel with smoked salmon, following huge cup of cappuccino with slice of coffee flavor cake, really enjoyed, prices are reasonable and staff is down to earth and friendly, coming back again!

I really like this place because it’s great for just a plain bagel with some cream cheese or butter, and also offers a solid selection of gluten free options. Since I’m American, one of the biggest challenges when moving to Dublin was finding my local bagel shop — especially when so accustomed to my standard bagel places in the states. I grew up on bagels for breakfast, and so am very picky when it comes to them. Luck would have it that I moved to the IFSC when I first came to Ireland and so stumbled on this bagel bar, aptly named, and I fell in love with it mainly because I could order a tasty plain excellent bagel.
My normal morning order is an onion bagel, toasted, with butter on the side, and a large cappuccino. Warning: the coffee here is quite strong! But, that being said, I just love the bagel. If you’re a bagel person like I am, you’ll enjoy this place in the morning. The only downside is that they have no wifi. If they did, I would’ve been able to sit here sipping on a few cappuccinos for an entire morning!

This is probably my favourite bagel place in Dublin. They have a good selection of bagels as well as fillings. All of which are fresh and made to order. My personal favourite is their classic club. As well as this they have a smoothie and juice bar which has some good menu options.
It can get quite busy at lunch time but the queues are usually quite fast moving. There is also a reasonable sized seating area if you want to eat in and the usual coffee and tea options are also available. There is a slight increase in price for eating in.
