Spent a weekend touring around London: Brick Lane and North London (Golders Green, Edgeware, Hendon) in search of a bagel which approximates a NYC bagel. And I found such a bagel at Hendon Bagel Bakery. I was saddened to taste bagels which were coarse and dry at far too many shops. Honestly, I thought was going to gag on them.
So, having stopped by Hendon Bagel Bakery and tasted a fresh bagel of theirs, there was the requisite crunch, elasticity and moistness.
I stil have to work on explaining the concept of a Cream Cheese "schmear" to them. All in good time :)
I adore this bakery so much! It has an amazing atmosphere and the almond croissant is to die for. The staff is friendly as well! Highly recommend stopping by for a latte and an almond croissant-you won’t regret it!
This is probably the best bakery in Hendon, in Barnet, in London and probably England! They sell various different types of fresh breads, challah, bagels and rolls, all very good but the danish are next level. Soft and crunchy pastry with tasty flavourful fillings. Each better than the next. Unfortunately the prices have shot up astronomically but certainly worth it if you can afford it, even just for special occasions.
