Best Bagels in Penang

Be it online reviews or words of mouth, this cafe is famed for its gargantuan layout, a sheer spread of food and freshly brewed coffees that are second to none. How good is the coffee here? Well, they do have their own barista academy, enough said, full-stop. The passionate team do take a lot of pride with their bagels which are rated as the best buddy for the caffeine goodie. Expect varieties like smoked duck breast with citrus sauce, bacon, pork, smoked salmon, and salad bagel which either comes with cheese scrambled egg or grilled mushrooms. First bite in and you're completely sold by the texture and flavour triumph along the atmosphere that invites you to linger a little longer with your second or third or countless cup of cuppa. 

Boasting as one of the most beautiful restaurants in Penang, just stepping into Muntri Mews allows you to disconnect from all stress of life. Stroll along the gardens that is embellished with lush greenery and flowers to make up more space in the stomach before sweeping through the extensive menu. During breakfast hours, bagels are constantly rushed out from the kitchen which is dense and chewy in texture with a copious coating of sesame seeds on the casing. You’ll love it even more when cream cheese and smoked salmon or beef bacon, fresh greens and cheese are stacked in between. 

For those of you who have jumped on the healthy bandwagon, this first-of-its-kind eatery is not to be missed. As per the name, the highlight here is sourdough bread, buns and even pizzas which are made fresh without any usage of commercial yeast. The minimalist decor and spacious dining area is absolutely pretty and once you’ve seated, the open kitchen and bustling brick oven keeps your eyes peeled. If bagel is what you’re looking for, you’ll be surprised yet utterly satisfied with their beetroot cream cheese bagel. The freshness of the bread, the rugged layer of poppy seeds and complementing filling just works in harmony. Match your bagel with a quality brew and return all smiles.
