Queues out the door seem to be Subi’s new favourite thing (see The Baking Corner for additional proof), and we’re not surprised as a Beaufort Street star joins the Rokeby Road conga line.
When Bagel O’s Deli opened on Rokeby Road in late August, bagel-hungry hordes snaked up Rokeby Road to get their hands on a six-pack of the hole-ier-than-thou pastries. But not your normal six of the best.
These were freshly baked doughnut-shaped, yeast-leavened rolls with crisp, shiny crusts and dense interiors.
Customers already frequenting the Mount Lawley venue, which opened in 2022, are devotees of the plain, poppy, sesame, jalapeno parmesan, rosemary sea salt or blueberry which make up the six pack.
Because as bagel bandits know, one bagel is never enough.
But the fun doesn’t end with bagels, which come crammed with customers’ choices of filling – tomato and basil, egg mayo or the old traditional fave, salmon and cream cheese. Please note:
these are generous so come with a big appetite and you’ll leave full as a boot.
There are also light and fluffy glazed doughnuts, peanut butter cookies and nitro brew coffee. What’s nitro brew, you ask? That’s what we asked owner Sha Tehrani.
“A unique cold coffee that’s infused with nitrogen, resulting in a rich, smooth, and velvety texture that’s distinct from regular iced coffee.”
That’s a brew worth queuing for.
