Brown Bagels

Overview

Opened back in 2011, Brown Bagels in Melbourne's CBD finds the sweet spot between newfangled, experimental and bare-bones tradition.

Brown's lox bagels and sweet bagels — such as strawberry Nutella and banana and peanut butter — are comforting and familiar, but there are novel choices, too.

Korean beef might sound daring, but the sweet and soy umami taste of the bulgogi melds perfectly with a chewy seeded or sesame bagel for a gratifying KBBQ-hybrid bagel. The mushroom-filled bagel with melted cheese is also a favourite amongst local city workers wanting a quick and tasty warm breakfast in the CBD. The options here are endless though — the team encourages you to design your own fillings. With locally sourced produce and everything as fresh as can be, there is literally no limit to what you can invent.

With a laidback, cafe-style atmosphere and friendly a friendly approach to service which instantly makes you feel like a local (even though you're in the CBD), Brown Bagels is the 'just right' option for friends with hyper specific-bagel cravings, for pals who don't want to push the boundaries, and for your sensation-craving buddies who want to try something new.

Brown Bagels also has your morning cup of joe looked after with beans by Coffee Supreme. Find this hidden gem tucked down Equitable Place, an alley in the city that fills with office workers searching for a good city breakfast or takeaway lunch.
