Why Choose Mile End Bagels?

About Mile End Bagels
Bagel shops are still a fairly specific thing in Richmond, and Mile End Bagels is the one people point to when the craving hits. They describe themselves as Australia's first wood-fired bagelry, founded in Fitzroy in 2016, and the Montreal and New York bagel shops that inspired them show in the style: a bagel with a crisp outside and a chewy middle, built around made-to-order sandwiches.
Locals tend to talk about the fillings first. The egg salad comes up again and again, with one person singling out the kick of green tomato in it, and the salmon with cream cheese and avocado is another regular order. Others rave about the chicken salad, the beef pastrami with dijon, and a tuna melt that landed well with someone who found it a touch spicy. There's a rotating monthly special too, which has ranged from a matcha and raspberry jam bagel to a roast porchetta, so there's usually something new to try. We've also heard the filling-to-bagel balance is generous.
Coffee gets a good word as well, from the lattes to the cold brew, which makes it a decent stop for breakfast as well as lunch. You can dine in at the communal table or the window bar, grab a bagel to take away, or have it delivered. It opens early on weekdays and a little later on weekends, and the weekend queue is real, so check the hours before you head in.
The staff come up often as friendly and happy to recommend something, and service is quick. It's on the pricier side for a bagel, and one person felt the portions could be bigger for the money. Still, most people leave happy and plan to come back and work through the rest of the menu. There's free street parking nearby, and they take cards and mobile payments.
