Brick lane Bagel Co in Colchester

I told you you’d be skint by Christmas. Next time your dad throws tens of thousands at you for a business at least have the brains to not treat your punters like they’re not welcome. Also, there’s a time and a place for flirting with each other fellas.

Came here with a colleague in our lunch break. It wasn’t busy at the time. The bagels were adequate but I was shocked and appalled by the management. We sat and enjoyed our bagels whilst the two older male mangers interrogated and ridiculed a younger female staff member as to why she was late into work. I was surprised that not only were they having this conversation on the shop flaw but that they would speak to their members of staff like this at all. If I could give it zero I would.

Tried twice now, staff are just arrogant. Tried one last time last Tuesday. Closed. Skint by Christmas and it’s their own fault.

We decided to visit this establishment for a spot of lunch. Been wanting to come here for a while. I have to say, my wife and I were very disappointed with the food. For the price they charge, you really didn't get value for money. My wife ordered a Ruben and I ordered the Chicken schnitzel. My bagel was small, the chicken was a tiny piece and barely any sauce was added for flavour. Same for my wife, the bagel was small and the filling wasn't much. Staff were pleasant enough but unfortunately, we will not be returning again. Such a shame!

Really nice bagel. Couple of blokes playing grab arse with each other making you feel like they were doing you a favour by letting you order didn’t help. Get a room perhaps?

We popped in on a whim to get something to eat, having found ourselves on the hughstreet in Colchester. A lovely little lad suggested what I should go for and my other half went for a beef version and mine was chicken- I believe they were shietntzels or something like that. Well whatever they were they tasted absolutely divine.

Thought that I would try this newly open Bagel shop and I’m glad I did. It is a large airy building decorated with images of the old east end. Having ordered a Reuben I ate in in the nearby park. My god, it was delicious! I’ve had bagels before but this was on another level! Highly recommended
