Historically spelled beigel, the ring-shaped bread we know as a bagel has become increasingly popular in recent times. The first mention of this dense, chewy bun dates back to Jewish communities in Poland back in 1610, though there is evidence that bagels may have been made in Germany before this. Unlike regular bread that simply gets popped into the oven after proofing, bagels get a brief boiling with anything from baking soda to honey before they’re baked, giving them their characteristic bite, texture, and appearance. If you’re wondering where to get your hands on some in Singapore, we’ve got you sorted with this list of the best bagel places in Singapore.

Popular Korean bakery B For Bagel now has three outlets across Singapore: Tanglin Mall, Great World, and Parkway Parade. If you’re stumped by the wide selection of flavours to choose from, we recommend getting the crowd-favourite Green Onion Cream Cheese ($7.90). This one’s packed with chopped green onions and velvety smooth cream cheese! If you love garlic as much as we do, the Garlic Cream Cheese ($6.90) is a great choice: you get a crispy bagel loaded with warm, melted garlic cream cheese.

Previously a home-based business and now a physical cafe, The Flour Department is helmed by a French-trained pastry chef. During our visit in April 2024, we tried a variety of their gorgeous bagels. First, the Black Sesame Tangyuan Strawberry Peanut Butter ($14): you can expect a winning combination of black sesame tang yuan, peanut butter, and house-made black sesame sauce. For something savoury, there’s the Japanese Curry Potato Cheesy Scrambled Eggs Katsu ($15) that’s adorably shaped like a tomato and loaded with curry potato.

Run by the same folks behind Swee Heng, Bae.gal is a takeaway kiosk in Tampines offering wallet-friendly bagels and more. Fans of sweet-savoury foods will love the Triple Cheese Honey Mochi Bagel ($3.80+), a chewy bagel with honey mochi within. Another great option is the Taiwan Yam & Purple Sweet Potato Bagel ($3.60+), which comes packed with yam chunks and sweet potato paste. Our favourite, though, was the Garlic Cream Cheese Bagel ($3.60+): a good-sized bagel brimming with sweet cream cheese within, then baked with garlic and parsley flakes as the finishing touches.

For affordable bagels in town, Pancakes and Friends is one for the books. Tucked away at Far East Plaza, this hidden cafe has rosti, bagels, and pancakes mostly priced under $10—and at nett prices. Their Smoked Salmon Cheese is priced at $8 as a sandwich and is generously topped with arugula and smoked salmon. For the same price, you can get an open-faced Banana Chocolate sandwich; this features two halves of a toasted bagel topped with banana slices and chocolate hazelnut spread.

Another spot for bagelwiches is Whiskdom, which started out as an online bakery that gained fame for their lava brownies and cookies. Some items on the menu include the H.E.C ($9), Classic Beef ($12), and Smoked Salmon Avocado ($15). Since you’re already there, we recommend getting the lesser-seen options such as Almond Butter And Jelly ($7), featuring roasted almond butter and raspberry jelly, and Shrooms Melt ($10) for a winning combination of sauteed mushrooms, caramelised onions, greens, and Swiss cheese.

Another spot with house-made bagels and bagelwiches is Onalu, which you’ll find on the campus of SMU, or Singapore Management University for the uninitiated. They’ve got five bagels to choose from: Plain, Sesame, Charcoal Everything, Cheese, and a Seasonal Special—priced at $3 each.
Customise your own bagelwich, have it plain with sauces or schmears (from $1), or pick from one of their preset ‘wiches. We tried Somethin’ Fishy ($16.50), stuffed with Norwegian smoked salmon, but you could also go for Kaya Thyme ($10), a locally-inspired version with house-made salted thyme butter and house-made pandan kaya.

Head to Baker’s Bench Bakery in Outram to load up on your bagels for the week at home. They don’t have any bagelwiches, but they’ve done the most tedious bit for you—making the bagels. Their bagels are also sourdough-based, so skip these if you don’t like that distinctive sourdough tang.
Prices start from $3.50 for a Plain Bagel, to $4.50 for a Cheesy Mess. In between, there’s Cranberry & Walnut Bagel, Cinnamon & Raisin Bagel, and ‘Everything’ Bagel—all priced at $4 each.

But worry not as the heat level can be adjusted to your liking!

Hipster bagel cafe Beigelhaus launched in the CBD to much fanfare and long lines—they’re frequently sold out even now. Their bagels aren’t baked on the premises, but at a cloud kitchen to their specific recipe. All of their bagels have a witty name; take Tuna Swift ($9.90) and Scarlett Jo-Hammson ($8.90) for instance. The former comes with jalapeno cream cheese, tuna mayo, sriracha, and sliced cucumber, while the latter is a lovely combination of kombu butter, turkey ham, spiced cheese, tomatoes, and greens.
