Bakes & Bagels (Thomastown)

Melbourne's best bagels hiding in Thomastown's industrial zone. worth every minute of the detour

A compact, no-frills café in a Thomastown industrial estate that punches well above its surrounds. Regulars who have been coming for years create a genuine neighbourhood feel. staff know most customers by name, and the quality of the fresh-baked bagels does all the talking.

Bagels baked fresh throughout the day; numbered menu system for easy ordering; gluten-free bagels available and clearly labelled on delivery packaging; vegan Vegan Joe bagel on the menu; Burek and sweet pastries alongside the bagel range; catering available for functions and corporate orders.

New York-style deli bagel tradition executed with genuine care. a reviewer from New York praised the gluten-free version as genuinely good; the Croque Monsieur and Burek reflect European influences alongside the American bagel heritage.

Two coffees and two bagels for under $40 is a consistent reviewer benchmark; broadly praised as very well-priced for the quality, with fresh-baked, generously loaded bagels that justify the drive.
