Why Coffee and Bagels Belong Together.

Richness and Aroma

Coffee brings depth and intensity, while bagels bring comfort and chewiness. Together, they form a sensory duet one bold, one grounding. The experience is an amazing combination of rich coffee flavours and sweet bread satisfaction.

Contrast & Balance

Coffee’s slight bitterness cuts through the sweetness of a bagel or its toppings. In turn, the bagel softens coffee’s bite. Savoury options like smoked salmon or sesame toppings add even more complexity to the dance of flavours.

The flavour pallet is endless from sweet to savoury when choosing the ideal combination to compliment your espresso, Late etc.

Creamy Complements.

Spread a bagel with cream cheese, butter, or even avocado, and sip your coffee alongside it you’ll find a trifecta of flavour: bold, creamy, and chewy, in perfect balance. What’s your favourite? Let me know below!
