About Unbearable Bagels
Unbearable Bagels is a bagel and coffee shop in Teneriffe, Queensland, and it keeps things refreshingly focused. The bagels are the main event, the coffee is black (hot or cold), and the menu changes regularly with seasonal fillings. Their tagline, "bitchin' bagels & black coffee", tells you the attitude before you've walked in.
Bagels come out fresh from the oven. Customers have mentioned the salmon bagel, gochujang smoked chicken with kimchi slaw, jerk chicken, and bacon, lettuce and tomato bagel. The salmon bagel features on the menu. There's a kimchi bagel too, plus salad and hash browns, and vegan options are on the menu. Smaller appetites sometimes mention that portions aren't huge, and Teneriffe prices reflect the area, but most people seem to think the flavour makes up for it.
The coffee gets just as much love. The pistachio cold brew, finished with a pistachio foam and freshly ground chocolate and pistachios, has its fans. If you're after a flat white, this isn't the place; the short coffee list is part of the charm.
You can eat in, with a few seats inside and umbrella-shaded tables outside, or take it away. Online ordering for pick-up is available, and they also do catering. The staff come across as friendly and proud of what they make, and one regular even found his dog handed a mini bagel. The space feels cosy and calm, popular with people who want to get a bit of work done over breakfast or lunch. Street parking is free nearby, there's step-free access, and they take cards and tap payments.
They're open every day from early until early afternoon, but it's worth checking the hours before you head in. Busy mornings can mean a short wait for your order, though people say it's worth it.

“This bagel place smashed it! It has such good and unique bagels! I ordered the Chicken bagel (the gochujang smoked chicken was so delicious and it matches the cream cheese, avocado and kimchi slaw).”
