Bad service! Bad coffee! Why open a cafe?

The only good part about this place is that it's probably the only uncrowded cafe in Bombay. I like the location and the cane furniture that gives it a nice ambiance..but its confused... I mean bagels are American, and putting random hollywood posters doesn't justify the concept. The servers take ages to take your order and it supposedly takes em half hour to serve luke warm drip coffee. I have been there thrice only for the quiet ambiance, but each time I've had to deal with inconsistent food and coffee, and horrible service.

The Bagel Shop- This place has potential...

After 3 unsuccessful attempts to locate this place (thanks to very bad directions from friends) the expectations from Bagel Shop were sky rocketing and rumbling of our stomachs deafening.

I proceeded to pick a healthy ‘Power Salad’- Smoked Chicken (in line with my light n healthy dinner campaign) and Prad got the Grilled Veggie Bagel. We also ordered a Cold Coffee with less sugar (remember the healthy dinner campaign?) and a Black Coffee for the brooding boy.

Now for the review part- The Veggie Bagel was strange; not bad but slightly strange- I guess it was full of zucchini. The salad was hardly powerful- the regular cucumber and tomato stuff with some chicken and onion crackers (my favorite part) to make it interesting. But the lemon and herb dressing was great and all in all the salad tasted good. But more like something I’d whisk up at home and not a restaurant salad. And I guess that’s what works for this place, the home feel.

The service isn’t much to write about and my not sweet Cold Coffe was exactly the opposite. They then made us wait for 10 mins with my credit card lying on table with the bill to inform us (after we enquired) that they weren’t accepting cards. Luckily they had interesting firangi magazines lying around to keep me occupied and from blowing my top. With prices slightly on the higher side and a so-so location they really need to work hard on food and service to get back repeat customers.

Good food if you are a gourmet

A good small place to hang out.

It feels like you are at a home / friends place.

Food quality is great and hygienic.
What I ate there?
Plane bagel, open bagel, Veg Salad, Some juices and great coffee too.

I think they are good in preparing Non-veg stuff too but never tried that.

Hope you will enjoy a small home at The Bagel Shop.

5 stars just for the lox

Half the battle is finding this place to begin with -- navigating from Pali Market can be tricky with the one-way streets -- once you're there though, you're set.

Great selection of veg and non-veg bagel sandwiches. You can just get cream cheese and a bagel, there's a pretty good chicken salad, and they have lox too. Having lox, cream cheese, and a bagel in Bombay outside of a 5-star hotel -- now that's rare!

The bagels are a little sweet for my taste, but so is the bread in most Mumbai bakeries. And the furniture inside is made for midgets. But the vibe is relaxed and its a nice place to chill for the afternoon. It's owned by the same people as Zenzi, and they seem like they know what they're doing.

Definitely worth a visit

The first thing that strikes you about the bagel shop is how TINY their furniture is....thin might be in (not in madrid people!) but child sized chairs...er...what exactly went through their minds?! The bagels are pretty good (personally liked the multigrain a lot) and there is a decent choice for vegetarians (v critical for moi!). Drinks range from fresh carrot juice to a really sinful brownie shake. They also have different types of cheeses (including the not as commonly available goat cheese). I strongly recommend the muffins - super soft and moist. Plus lots of magazines (full of trashy hollywood gossip - perfect!!)A pretty nice place for a quick or not so quick lunch...
