Best Dishes at Beigel Bake
Cream Cheese & Salmon Beigel
BagelsThe other classic combination reviewers consistently order. Reviews suggest squeezing fake lemon and dusting white pepper on top to elevate it, though that requires bringing your own condiments. Works well as a lighter alternative to the salt beef.
Salt Beef Beigel
BagelsThe most iconic item on the menu—multiple Reddit threads and reviews highlight the salt beef as the reason to visit. The brisket is piled generously on a pillowy beigel with hot mustard and tangy pickles. At £6.50, it's affordable but hearty enough to satisfy late-night hunger.
Plain Beigel
BagelsFor those who want to build their own, Beigel Bake sells plain beigels for around 30p—the cheapest way to experience their product. You can add fillings of your choice or eat it plain.
Chocolate Slice
DessertFor dessert, reviewers on multiple platforms call out the chocolate slice as a standout. It's a no-nonsense dessert but worth adding to your order if you have room—prices typically under £2.
Hot Herring Beigel
BagelsA classic Jewish deli item and part of Beigel Bake's traditional menu. Less popular than the salt beef but a traditional option for those wanting to experience authentic bagel shop fare.
