Carmelli in Barnet

There is no place to sit. The food is delicious but very expensive. The employees themselves do not answer questions that for them are not legitimate questions. Costs about 3 times more than other places whose price is expensive as well.

We came across this place and thought the food looked nice, but we came back 3 times during our trip because it the food was great. Everything was fresh and tasty, we even brought some baked goods home to Germany. Definitely worth a try, we will come back during our next visit !!

Whenever I have the chance to come to London (-Golders Green) I go into the bakery, and enjoy Carmeli's pastries and sandwiches. Fine and tasty food. In the morning there is the Israeli seller (I forgot his name) who gives an amazing feeling to all the customers. Highly recommended.

The staff are brilliant, the bread is gorgeous

Thieving, dishonest charlatans who lack integrity and steal from their customers. I bought a few items on 8 January and upon leaving the shop I noticed that a plain croissant had been added to my bill which I did not order. I went back and after showing the man that served me the receipt he gave me the money. Please note that the majority of items conveniently do not have prices displayed. Whilst paying it was difficult to keep track of what I was being charged for as the till displayed several unrelated items in addition to my items, as if they had been deliberately put there with the intention of confusing customers. Upon pointing this out I was told to 'forget it'. The staff here are rude, cold and unwelcoming. At the very best they’re incompetent, at the very worst they're criminal. The high street is grim and depressing. Avoid and go elsewhere.

Carmelli got us through 3 days of breakfast and lunch since kosher options open late in Golders Green and are non-existent in the center of London. The coffee is prepared with attention and I warmly recommend the chocolate and almond croissants and the delicious triangle sandwiches (salmon, tuna and egg salad), all very tasty and hygienic. The prices are also reasonable compared to all other options we tried. Carmelli is the very best if you're staying in Golders Green.

Hace años viajábamos a través de Londres para venir aquí a por el pastel de queso más sobresaliente. Se vendía por lonchas desde bandejas enormes y era verdaderamente delicioso. Lo que acabamos de comprar fue horrible. Se vende en un horrible recipiente de plástico y degustación de ingredientes artificiales baratos. Después de solo dos bocados el resto se fue a la papelera. Para añadir insulto el precio era ridículo. Solo puede asumir un cambio de propiedad.

We have really enjoyed the salmon bagel :) and the cheesecake (very big portion)! I have noticed they sales a low sugar version of the cake too!! My boyfriend said this was his childhood memory and is highly recommended by his mum :)

Best bagels!! But this place is more than that. Whenever I feel like I am missing some yummy pastries from Israel this is my go to and it reminds me of home. Mazel!

Tastiest baked goods you can get anywhere

Good food, good selection and good variety at reasonable price.

A piece of history, and cake and other lovely stuff

I would highly recommend this bakery for their rugelachs! They have them with chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon and they're all incredible! Prices wise, it can be a bit expensive but it's definitely worth it

All good products!!!! It's like being at home...we were in London for a few days unfortunately, but we had a great time. Many greetings to the owner of the shop we saw in the evening!!!

As prices go up, taste goes down. What once was the premiere bakery in Golders Green, is now, in my opinion, nothing special and overpriced at that!

Carmelli means, one the best bakeries that make London what it is. merging incredible expertise with quality to gift us with the simple beautiful pleasures of life. In there a timeless feeling .

It's probably the best kosher bakery in Golders Green

Walk inside, and the amazing smells will do their job. Best Rogalach and Challa bread - in all shapes and sorts, that one can find. They keep their high quality for many years. Wishing I lived nearby to go there more often...

One of the best bakeries in North London and the best bagels!! Open early on Sundays.

Staff not nice specially cashier

My first visit to Golders Green yesterday was a great experience and included calling into Carmelli to get my family some bakery treats to bring home with me, which they enjoyed. Thanks!

Expensive and low quality. The young lady is very rude, made me feel unwelcome. It was my First and last time!

I’m thoroughly disappointed. I ordered a birthday cake, discussed it with the baker in store who gave me a heads up that she didn’t have edible glitter in store, however everything else was possible. I was shocked at what I spent my money on when I picked up the cake. It was very lazily done, I couldn’t even take a picture of it to share with loved ones and had to buy an alternative cake elsewhere. I had my birthday cake done here last year and it turned out perfect. I’m not sure what happened but I won’t risk it again What I ordered vs What I got ..

Expensive and low quality bakery. There are no prices available on most of their items so it can be quite shocking when it comes to paying. The £2.80 bureka was greasy, textureless and bland. I would only consider buying the bagels or challah here.

I have always loved the bagels. Egg mayo and smoked salmon, FTW!!

Nice break. It's a little pricey, but worth every penny.

Great place but expensive. It's NOT a restaurant. It's a baker - can't done in it.

Currently the best bagel shop in london, including any of the hipster and old school joints you’ve seen online. It has great challah bread as well and decent rugelach if I remember correctly. For non-jews just remember its closed saturdays. Use the day of rest to meditate on why other hackney hipsters can’t bake a bagel to save their lives, but will still charge £10 each for the attempt.

Went few days ago to buy doughnuts for Chanukah and omg they were sooo dry! Also their bagels are super dry! Just avoid this place. Go to other bakery (lime Parkway) which serve fresh stuff!

Decent bit should seperate totally vegetarian and meat items.

Easily the best bagels in the UK

A bit expensive but quality food

best bagels in london. challah rolls are 10/10

Being a West Londoner I am at an extreme disadvantage in my choice of bagels. Despite excursions to Whole Foods and MandS there is absolutely nothing that compares to the unique taste and quality of a Carmelli bagel. Even the cost of petrol to get there makes it all worthwhile for that very first mouthful- yum

Being an international visitor on holidays, it's hard to find a good place to eat. We had this bakery next to our accommodation. I'd thought I'd give it a go for afternoon tea. Their cakes and pastries are amazing. I called in every day for the week we were there and got something to either take with us for the day or got something for a cuppa after dinner. I noticed the magnificent wedding cakes on display as well. The staff were always friendly and the store was really clean.

Average bakery. The cheese Bourekh that I had was nice but nothing exceptional. The lady was very cheerful and nice. The gentleman showed no customer service I’m afraid.

Very tasty food and very friendly staff

מקום נחמד ומומלץ למי ששומ כשרות

The best bakery in London. The only problem is that I live too far and I cannot come here each morning for fresh pastry. Crispy, soft and fragrant bakery products and friendly staff. Love it

I recently had the delightful opportunity to visit Carmelli Bakery, and let me tell you, it was an experience that left me craving more! As a self-proclaimed bread enthusiast, I couldn't resist indulging in their famed Challah bread, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Upon entering the bakery, the warm aroma of freshly baked goods enveloped me, immediately whetting my appetite. The display of baked treats was visually enticing, showcasing an array of delicious options. However, my eyes were firmly fixed on the Challah bread, and it did not disappoint. The Challah bread at Carmelli Bakery is a true masterpiece. The loaf was flawlessly braided, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship that goes into each creation. The crust had a perfect golden hue, hinting at the mouthwatering goodness that awaited inside. What struck me most was the attention to detail in the bread's flavor. It was evident that only the finest ingredients were used, resulting in a taste that was far superior to any store-bought bread I had ever encountered. The flavors danced on my palate, and I found myself savoring every morsel. Moreover, the Challa bread's versatility is worth mentioning. It was perfect for breakfast, paired with a light smear of butter or jam, and equally satisfying alongside a hearty dinner. I even savored a slice on its own as an afternoon snack, and it was a treat in itself. Beyond the bread, the service at Carmelli Bakery was top-notch. The staff was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making my visit all the more enjoyable. The bakery itself had a cozy and inviting ambiance, making it an ideal spot to linger and enjoy the delectable treats. In conclusion, Carmelli Bakery is a hidden gem that every bread enthusiast must discover. Their Challa bread is a testament to the skill and dedication that goes into crafting exceptional baked goods. If you're on the hunt for bread that transcends the ordinary, look no further than Carmelli Bakery. It's a haven for those who appreciate the art of baking and the joy of savoring truly remarkable food. I can't wait to return and explore more of their delightful offerings!

An all time favourite! My kids love coming here 👍👍👍

מאפיה כשרה טעים מאד אהבנו את מגוון הסנדביצ'ים ואת הקישים המיוחדים

Great kosher bakery..fresh and good !!!

Leckeres Gebäck, auch Gluten Freies Angebot. Leider nur Kekse aber immerhin. Diese waren auch lecker

Extremely unfriendly staff! Not just that just very unhelpful with an attitude that they have something better to do than help with placing your order. My household loved their fruit gateau and has been the go to for past 4+ and possibly anymore. They added so much sugar and it tastes very different. Called after 2years of not bothering with their cakes but lady who usually answers just always has better things to do with an attitude you can pick up. Her tone is not helpful or friendly almost intimidating and ordering a cake shouldnt be an unpleasant task. I think they have enough customers and not looking to improve at all. I'm off to Patisserie Valerie who do just as delicious cakes where I don't have to put up with rude customer service.

Yum! Delicious selection of tasty pastries. Still the best bakery around. Make sure to get some of the Florentines, almond cookies with chocolate.

Bagel was tasty but no service with a smile 😠

I highly recommend this lovely bakery. The Challah bread and babka are always delicious. Thanks!

Picked up some vegan challah and it didn’t disappoint ✌️

Great selection of bread and cakes.

Variety of fresh salads and sandwiches packaged for quick take away. Tourists in the morning take them for their day trips.

One of the best bakeries in the town. It made me remember my Hometown bakery. I loved their bagels and challa rolls

This is their cinnamon roll. Soft, slightly crispy, perfect balance between the sugar, butter and cinnamon taste. Very friendly staff and reasonable prices considering is a small business.

If you are looking for quality kosher bakery then this is the one !

במרכז גולדרס גרין, עוגיות עוגות בייגל נשנושים ועוד, טעים מאוד וכשר כמובן, סנדוויצים נדירים, לא לוותר על הקפוצ'ינו!

Cult place this! The bagels are seriously recommended

הגענו בשעת ערב מאוחרת, היו מאפים טריים וטעימים, מחירים מעט גבוהים אבל סהכ מאוד מוצלח

Been coming to carmellis for years - especially back in the day when it was a late night hangout. Bagels good and fresh abs other products good too.

Always worth the shlep from SW London to pick up a large rye but couldn't the challot be reduced in price a little? Nearly £4 for a medium is somewhat hard to swallow.

Not had Jewish bread for ages , so I got some to try , I know Jewish products are expensive, I am not Jewish but I guess the reason why Jewish products are expensive because Jewish people have good luxury products not cheap stuff so I guess that's what you are paying for plus it's handmade , as a treat I not mind getting Jewish bread once a week.

Favourite place to grab bagels in Golders Green

The rudest staff I’ve ever seen. The attendants are so rude, impatient. I’ll never go back

מקום נהדר נקי האוכל העוגות ושאר מיני מאפים עשויים בטוב טעם שירות כמו שאומרים מהסרטים מוטי הבעלים מנסה תמיד לעזור במיוחד אנחנו שביקרנו שבוע שעבר שם נתקענו בלי מזומנים ועזר לנו לפתור את הבעיה בקיצור אין מילים אני יחזור לשם תמיד .תודה למוטי וצוות החנות .ברוך ופזית כברה מישראל

fresh tasty produce, great service

קונדיטוריה מעולה וכשרה הכי טעים שיש .

Love Carmelli, one of the best independent bakeries in London without doubt. Highly recommend it to everyone. Everything is top quality - cakes, pastries, breads, bagels etc. Long may it last.

I have been going to Carmelli since 1991. The best bakery this side of town. I have no words to describe the bagels, challa and rugelach. Absolutely amazing. Carmelli set the bar way too high for anyone to follow. My parner and I wouldnt touch a bagel or challah unless it was made by Carmelli. To everyone at Carmelli thanks for all these years of awesome food. Keep it going!!!!!

Good choice of baked goods. Delicious bagels and sweet treats.

Carmelli is an easy bakery with a great quick shop and go selection. Food is great. Service is great. Prices slightly high, but worth it.

Was given the longest, absolute most foulest of dirty looks when walking into the shop from one of the girls that work there. You would think if you wanted people to buy your products you wouldnt do this, you know... Prices are hilariously high even within this day and age. Honestly just go to daniels for better food and service.

Oh dear what has happened? Lovely mini pastries gone, Wimpey style slices of cake in plastic boxes. Change of ownership is very disappointing.

Delicious pastries and wonderful bagels. However the shop looks like it’s falling apart. It’s such a shame as I would’ve given it 5 stars.

Nice stuff , however 90p for a bun is beyond expensive £4 for medium challah and it goes on. Been there 3 times in one visit , 1st last and one too many

Cheap and cheerful! Local to my office. A lovely Margherita pizza! Decent Boreks and cheesecakes too.

After 20 years plus 2 buttered beigals too much trouble Will go elsewhere on a Friday in future

Best Rugelach I’ve had outside of Israel!

A bakery so good I've had to go twice. The quality of the food here is unrivalled and I cannot get enough of the bagels sold. Great pricing, great staff, good location and very accessible opening hours. Top tier!

Nice variety and friendly people.

Great Bakery, and Fantastic service, worth a trip from Surrey. Thankyou

Lovely beigels and in a sealed bag so no germs - But at a £1 each they are having a laugh.

מאפיה כשרה ושווה. חלות, עוגות וקינוחים

Never have a full display. But good food

Some of the best bagels and soft roles.

הכל עבודת יד ממש טעים המחירים לא ככ זולים

Absolutely fantastic bakery ! I drive regular clients from the Cotswolds to Golders Green and Hampstead and I always call in to get a variety of yummy treats, fantastic food and nice friendly staff 😁 . Sorry no photos to add as the treats didn’t last long 😊

Not the most welcoming staff but the challah bread is probably the best out there.

Very nice Bagels and friendly staff.

What a challa, you have to try it

יש כאן אוכל כשר וטעים בייגלים ולחמניות ממש טעימות ועוגות טובות

Best bakery in north london. Can’t fault it.

Smells really great inside, busy even late in the afternoon, need to go early to really get fresh challah bread.

Personally I think it's the best bakery in town With hands down the best best best jam doughnuts ever!!! Perfectly soft with delicious jam. We've bought so many :)

Great food always best to pay more here and get fresh food

אחלה מקום... חבר'ה ברמה מאירים פנים בעיקר הישראלים... לכו למוטי... קפה טוב מאפים וסנדוויצ'ים נהדרים

Typical Jews bakery . Highly recommended

I was served by really friendly staff and they gave me babka that came fresh out of the oven. It was the best babka I have ever eaten. I also recommend the rugelach (all 3 flavours are yummy)

I have going to Carmelli bakery for years I came in today and it was excellent 👏👌

We placed a order for collection online and it was very smooth and easy. Everything was waiting when we arrived. The food here is great!

Very rude staff especially the guy who works there. Never again. Although food is good

Always go there to buy for breakfast and their timing is good special open early morning
