KMK: Brooklyn Bagels

I’m happy to report that a new spot has opened in the HBC neighborhood. All the bread lovers should rejoice because Brooklyn Bagels has opened its doors. Inside the space may be small but that hardly matters since having a morning bagel as I run for the bus at 7 am makes every day a better one.

Initially, opening soft before a full scale operations in the next week, Brooklyn Bagels aims to bring the goodies to a bagel deprived area. The bagel choices include plain, blueberry, cinnamon raisin, sesame, jalapeno, garlic, onion, and pumpernickel. To top off those choices with a helping of smooth creamy cream cheese you can go for either the plain or blueberry, scallion, veggie, maple bacon, or cranberry almond. And if cream cheese isn’t your thing there’s always p&j, nutella or good old fashioned butter.

After the soft opening period is over the shop will start serving bagel sandwiches. You can expect such treats as egg, bacon and cheese, as well as chicken, tuna or egg salad. You can also expect lox to appear as well with other specialty sandwiches like chicken, Italian, salami, prosciutto, and even a pizza bagel.

Of course coffee and beverages with a little more edge will be on hard to complement your bagel of choice.

The Good: Bagels, bagels, bagels and creamy cream cheese plus opening at 7 am.

The Bad: so far so good

The Weird: White coffee… what is it! Milk?

Prices: 1,000 to 6,000 KRW
