Brick Lane Bagel Co. is set to open its doors in the city centre High Street today, May 6.

Just in time for the coronation celebration, the famous business will be selling a variety of bagels to visitors.

First teased at the start of the year, it was expected to open in April.

However, the date was later confirmed as May 6.

The menu features breakfast and signature bagels to choose from.

Franchise director Elliott Hearne described the choices as fillings which are “cheap and cheerful”, as well as seven or eight main bagels which are “slightly more expensive but better in quality”.

On the opening, which was expected slightly earlier, Elliot said: "Sorry for the delays.

"It’s always exciting once the signs go up.

"Hopefully, we can create a nice family atmosphere for everyone in the community." 

“I think it will be another really good hub for the community.

“We want people to enjoy it and want to come back, really have a good experience.

“The locals and regulars are the bread and butter of every single franchise.

“All our staff are amazing and friendly and we try to talk to all customers from all backgrounds.

“We want to put a smile on people’s faces.

“We do try and keep our prices relatively low too, inflation is a killer but we know what it is like.”
