First time visit to Brown Bagel and hopefully not my last! Can’t fault the food or the service. Nice selection on the menu and various bagels to try. Has the spicy chicken and it was delicious but the spicy was light on, could have pushed it a bit harder! Topped off lunch with an iced latte and again this was perfect! Yeah, get there early because it’s really popular and seating is premium.

I really liked this place. Its so Melbourne in a little lane way. Has a really nice selections of interesting bagel fillers. I went with the wagu burger which was really nice and took me back to the old days of those great burgers you could get at a fish and chip shop. A good solid home made burger with all the love and care involved. Love this place and the food. And its reasonably priced. I'll be going back often.

I do like a bagel, and if you want a good one, this is where you need to go! Staff were amazing, food was amazing, and the cool little spot down the Melbourne lane adds to the charm. I had a bacon egg and cheese on a sesame bagel, and i definitely made the right choice

Love the bagels here! A variety of fillings to choose from so you'll never get bored. I adore the banana with cream cheese and honey, simple and satisfying. Coffees are reasonably good here too, a great accompaniment to their bagels!
