Menu FAQs

  • I have an allergy, can you cater for me?

    Yes, all allergens are signposted on the website + in the shop. Please ensure you advise our front of house team before ordering so they can assist with your order.

  • Can you tell me the nutritional information for a bagel/schmear?

    Unfortunately, we’re unable to provide this information.

  • Are your bagels vegan?

    Yes, all of our bagels do not contain animal products or by-products.

  • Why don’t you make your own gluten-free bagels?

    Unfortunately due to the amount of wheat in our bakery we currently do not have a facility to produce anything that could claim to be 100% gluten free. Instead, we buy in our gluten free bagels from a dedicated gluten free bakery who are able to make this claim. These are sold frozen and sealed to avoid contamination.

  • Do you do dairy-free schmear?

    Yes, we currently offer a plain dairy-free option.

  • I'm pregnant, is bagels + schmear safe for me to eat?

    Our schmear is safe for pregnant women to consume. However, as with anything to do with health, we all have our own unique circumstances. We would therefore recommend contacting your doctor if you have any concerns,

Packaging FAQs

  • Is your packaging recyclable?

    Yes – all the pots used to package the schmear are fully recyclable. The paper carrier bags are also fully recyclable, made from recycled materials + printed with water-based inks.

Shelf Life / Storage FAQs

  • How long do the bagels stay fresh?

    Our bagels are freshly baked every morning – in the unlikely situation you have some bagels left over, we recommend eating them within three days of purchasing them + toast them any day after the day they were baked.

  • Can I freeze the bagels?

    Yes – our bagels freeze really well. Little tip for you: slice them in half + put them in a zip lock bag before you put them in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat them, they just need popping straight in the toaster.

  • How long do the schmears keep for?

    Make sure to keep our schmear refrigerated + consume within three days of purchase.
