the White one or the Yellow one? Bricklane Beigels (Bagels)
About Brick Lane-
Located in East London, Brick Lane is often referred to as "Banglatown" and is famous for its food market, Bangladeshi and Indian restaurants (along with various international cuisines), vintage shops, and vibrant street art. But long before these elements became synonymous with Brick Lane, the area was a hub for a large Jewish community that arrived in Spitalfields in the late 19th century. While the community gradually dispersed to North London, the bagel shops remained, and the spelling of "beigel" for bagel is a remnant of that era. There is also a nearby Jewish synagogue (shul) in the vicinity.
In search of delicious bagels... "The white one or the yellow one?" This is a conversation often heard among Londoners walking along Brick Lane. The yellow shop, Beigel Shop, is the older establishment founded in 1855. However, it's the white shop, Beigel Bake, that consistently has long queues. It was established in 1976. These neighboring shops are both open 24 hours a day, and their menus and prices are nearly identical. Both places offer delicious bagels!

Beigel Shop
Salt Beef Bagel: Topped with pickles and mustard. It's filled with hefty servings of salted beef, making it quite substantial and satisfying. The bagel itself from this shop has a firmer texture, and the slight firmness pairs well with the beef. 🥯🥩
