It’s Bagels

It’s Bagels have a simple name and the verdict is just as straightforward—these are some of the best bagels in London. They're crispy on top and chewy in the middle, and we recommend buying these by the bagful as well as picking up a filled one for lunch. Inside the Primrose Hill spot, there's a simple deli-style setup, with rows of containers on display, holding flavoured cream cheeses that are good enough to scoop straight from the tray—scallion, dill, sundried tomato. An illuminated menu runs the length of the counter and spells things out—there are no gimmicks here, just classics done incredibly well, like bacon with fluffy egg and oozing cheese. Come on the weekend and you’ll be joining a queue that snakes across the road. On weekdays you won’t have to wait and the small tables might be free, but we still prefer to take our bagel to Primrose Hill when the weather's nice. It’s a two-minute stroll away and eating a top-tier, lox-stuffed wheel of carbs while looking over London's skyline, just makes sense.
