The bagels are soft and chewy, making them easy for even children to enjoy. They don't harden easily even after some time, and have a simple, unpretentious flavor. This popular bagel shop is constantly bustling with customers. 【Omotesando Station】 Located "inside the ticket gate" (there are several ticket gates, this one is in the central, wider area). I'd always been curious about this place, but I wasn't a fan of the chewy texture of bagels. However, I recently learned that their bagels are "healthy" because they don't use butter or dairy products, and suddenly I became a fan! 😂 (I'm so simple) 🥯 Bagels are made with simple ingredients like wheat, water, and mixed-in ingredients. 🥯 They use carefully selected wheat, which gives the bagels a rich flavor and subtle sweetness that spreads throughout your mouth with each bite. 🥯 BAGEL & BAGEL offers 11 classic varieties, plus seasonal items and stylish muffins. 🥯 Each bagel is individually wrapped in plastic. They offer a tape for sealing the bag after purchase. 🥯 There's a sign that says "50 yen off for 6 bagels," but when I looked at the receipt, the discount wasn't applied. Auntie! 😂 🥯 The most popular bagel is the blueberry bagel. 🥯 They only accept cash or transportation IC cards. ⚠️ PayPay and credit cards are not accepted. A regular customer-looking guy rushed in and said, "There it is!" and bought a bunch of muffins. I'll be buying some muffins next time.

I visited "BAGEL & BAGEL ECHIKA Omotesando", a bakery inside the Omotesando Station. I arrived around 2 pm on a Saturday and there were a few people in front of the store. I was able to check out quickly. I bought a Domestic Lemon Cream muffin for 345 yen. It's a muffin filled with lemon cream made with hand-picked domestic lemon juice and zest. The refreshing sourness of the lemon, the sweetness of the cream, and the delicious flavor of the fluffy muffin all come together perfectly. It was delicious until the very last bite.

I visited "BAGEL & BAGEL" in Omotesando! It's located inside the Omotesando Station ticket gate. This shop is Japan's No. 1 bagel specialty store, with locations in various prefectures. There were so many different kinds of bagels that I had a hard time choosing, but I ended up getting the No. 1 blueberry bagel! It was a soft and chewy bagel with blueberry juice mixed in. The blueberries were plentiful and delicious! ◆ Order - Blueberry: ¥247 ◆ About Me I explore various restaurants, including ramen, izakayas, and yakiniku!

On September 22, 2024, I visited Omotesando for a roundtable discussion. This was my first time purchasing from the bakery, Bagel & Bagel. The bagels were so beautiful, they made me excited just looking at them. I'm going to have them for breakfast tomorrow, and I'm really looking forward to it. ★The only negative was that there were two girls working at the counter. The one who wasn't at the register was very friendly and answered my questions with a smile, which I appreciated. However, the girl at the register had a very stiff expression. When I asked where the receipt was, she said, "It's in there!" in a sharp and dissatisfied tone. This left me feeling a bit disappointed and not as happy with my purchase. Maybe she was tired or still young, but I wish she would have shown a bit more of a customer service attitude. What I bought: ◆Passion Orange… ¥268 ◆Blueberry… ¥247 ◆Darjeeling Lemon Tea… ¥268

While transferring at Omotesando, you can grab some delicious and soft bagels! 😍 They're surprisingly affordable, starting from around ¥200 each, and they offer seasonal bagels, which is always fun!
