About Black Market Bagels

Black Market Bagels is the bagel bakery people in Port Macquarie point visitors towards, and it has been baking since 2015, so it's no passing fad. The tagline promises the best bagels this side of New York, and one half-American customer says it holds up. The bagels come fresh from the oven, dense and properly chewy, in plenty of flavours.

Fillings run from a simple plain bagel right up to loaded breakfast versions, and ordering works a bit like a sandwich bar: pick your bagel, then pick what goes in it. The French toast bagel is a standout, and a cheese bagel with roasted chicken is a solid breakfast. The coffee is part of the draw too, flat whites and lattes included, and several people rate it as highly as the food.

Vegans are well looked after here. Most of the bagels can be made with vegan cream cheese or avocado, and the mushroom and veggie options are popular. One local did find the vegan filling differed from what the menu described, so it's worth confirming when you order. Another found one bagel a touch dry and the everything seasoning a bit mild, though the chilli one fared better. Overall, people keep coming back and call it good value.

The staff are a real part of the appeal. Friendly service comes up constantly, and one visitor even got a look at how the bagels are made. You can dine in, sit at the outdoor tables with a dog, or take your order to go. They also do delivery, catering for retail and wholesale customers across the Mid North Coast, and custom cake orders. Parking is easy, with free street parking and a car park, plus a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park.

It's a morning-to-early-afternoon spot, so check the hours before you head in.
