Bagels Baby

Pascoe Vale corner bagel shop known for chicken katsu, salmon lox and pastrami with Padre coffee.

Minimalist, slightly hip corner-store cafe with a chilled, friendly feel and a steady stream of regulars. Small, so seating is limited.

Padre Coffee beans, a varied filled-bagel menu including vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, house pickles, optional chilli and crispy hashbrowns. Proper tea comes in a teapot, and delivery apps are popular.

New York-style deli fillings such as pastrami with sauerkraut and salmon lox with cream cheese, mixed with katsu and labneh. Some reviewers say the bagels are softer and breadier than a traditional boiled bagel.

Fillings are generous and many reviewers feel they justify the price, though several find bagels around $17 each and a couple of coffees pricey. Roughly $20 per person is typical.
