About Take Two Bagels

If you're after a bagel in Ascot Vale, Take Two Bagels on Union Road is a name locals keep coming back to. It's a bakery-cafe doing bagels, coffee and breakfast, with takeaway, dine-in and delivery all on offer.

The egg and bacon bagel has crisp bacon and fresh avocado. The halloumi bagel gets a mention too, and one local pointed to the Everything Bagel with smoked salmon, lemon and dill cream cheese, pickled fennel and capers as soft and chewy with a generous pile of fish. There's a vegan cream cheese option, a basil pesto everything bagel that has its fans, and the blueberry loaf and chilly egg turn up in conversation as well. Coffee gets a good word, lavender latte included, and we hear the large cookie is easily big enough to share.

The helpful staff come up again and again. Regulars say the wait stays reasonable even when it's busy, and people describe a relaxed, clean space where you can eat inside, sit outside or perch at the stainless steel bar. Free street parking nearby makes a quick stop easy.

A couple of locals felt the prices were steep for what they got, and one found their bagels served cold, though others think it's in line with bagel shops around Melbourne. Card and mobile payments are the way to pay here, so don't rely on cash. Hours run early most mornings, but check before you head in.
