Why Best Ugly? Well, if you were punched, rolled, boiled and fired, you wouldn’t look so great either. Don’t worry, our Montreal-style bagels are deliberately manhandled – hand rolled and cut, then simmered in sweet honey water. We then shove them into our custom-made stone oven which runs on New Zealand’s greatest natural fuel – Manuka hard wood.

It’s the rough and ready treatment that gives them their unique style and flavour. You know what they say. You always hurt the ones you love. And now we offer a gluten free bagel, and have worked up a new chocolate bagel, so no matter your taste, we have you covered.
