Why Choose Frankly Bagels?

Frankly Bagels is the bagel destination in Norwood, hand rolling daily in an open kitchen where you can watch the work unfold. The bagels themselves are chewy, fresh and generously filled, offered at fair prices with consistent food and coffee, making it worth the visit whether you're grabbing breakfast or catching up with friends.

About Frankly Bagels

If you're after a proper bagel in Norwood, Frankly Bagels is the name that comes up. It's one of three South Australian shops (the others are in Prospect and Kent Town), and the pitch is simple: bagels hand rolled every day. There's an open baking area, so you can watch the work happening while you wait, and locals tell us that's half the appeal.

The bagels themselves are what people rave about. We've heard them described as chewy, fresh and well toasted, with generous fillings and plenty of flavour. The numbered menu has its fans (one regular swears by the pastrami), and there's a bagel of the month that people like to check in on, such as a salt beef and pickles version that went down well. On the sweeter side, a blueberry bagel gets a mention, and the cookies earn their own following. Gluten free bagels are on offer too, and one local called them soft, fresh and full of flavour. The house cream cheeses are another thing people bring up.

Coffee is on the menu too, and one regular is happy with the espresso. Opinion on the matcha is a little split, so it may depend how fussy you are about it.

It's a casual, modern spot with indoor and outdoor seating on a wide footpath, and the staff are known as friendly, even when it gets busy. Fair prices come up too, which suits a lunch with friends or a quick breakfast. Takeaway, delivery and catering are all available, plus dine-in.

A word of warning: it's popular, and finding a table can take patience at peak times. We've heard of the odd slip with an order getting lost in the rush, but most people leave happy. It's open seven days, so check the hours before you head over.
