Bodega Bagels in Belfast

I’ve been visiting a friend in NI and this was a lovely stop-off on the way to city airport. The space feels airy and clean, beautifully decorated and full of plants and displays that highlight and celebrate the local area and its history, perfect for a chill brunch. The menu was full with lots of different choices of bagels and toppings (so much that it took me a while to choose!) in the end I went for an Everything Bagel with Hello You filling (halloumi, bacon, hash brown and hot honey) and I couldn’t have been happier with my choice, it was delicious. I even bought a gift for my dad in the adjoining record store! I had such a good time that I wrote a fridge poem about the place (see attached photo). Highly recommend!

Had a new yorker bagel yesterday , bread was extremely tough and we found ourselves having to rip the bread apart with my teeth and my jaw got a serious workout when chewing through it over 5 minutes . Will simply not be back , coffee decent though

Visited the trademarket store in March and had the BEC bagel with a boulder cookie. It was hands down the best bagel I've ever tasted. The boulder cookie was awesome too - hard on the outside and gooey in the middle. Perfect! Would definitely recommend.

This spot absolutely NAILS what a bagel is supposed to be! I am originally from Canada and travelled a lot in the USA with “ Bagel Specialist” States on our regular travel list, like Florida and New York where they know EXACTLY how to make perfect bagels of every variety Bodega has got it all SO right! Crunchy but soft on top. Wonderfully chewy and light in the middle and perfectly seasoned. Their bagel sandwiches are terrific with a really great selection on offer My “Go To” bagel shop whenever I am in Belfast

Best bagels this side of the pond! And it's dog friendly too, bonus. Make sure to try a boulder cookie!

I love bagels and I hate doughy, run-of-the-mill tasteless bagels that so many shops serve up ... Bodega was amazing and ticked every box that needed to be ticked to provide a bagel that had a nice crunch to the crust and a soft, chewy texture inside ... and add the huge amounts of poppy seeds, sesame seeds and seasoning on the Everything Bagel and it was a true winner! I loved the Everything bagel so much that I took some home along with some of the Cheddar and Jalapeño bagels too I tried that day’s special in the sandwich - a pulled chicken with spicy sriracha, topped with loads of fresh avocado and a pickled red onion topping An absolute winning combination served by friendly staff who really know how to deliver a quality product to their customers

Tremendous dining experience! Me and the wife wandered in on a Sunday afternoon. The food was delicious - highly recommend the Italiano! Customer service went above and beyond! The location was vibes to say the least. Will be back very soon
