It is strictly takeaway as there is really no place to sit and eat. The small shop is very straightforward with just a deli-like counter from which to see the goods and order. We were there on a very busy Saturday morning. We queued up in a line of people that extended out the door. They were pretty good about keeping the line moving, however, and we placed our order within 6 or 7 minutes of joining the queue. My wife had a Peanut Butter-Filled Plain Bagel, which she liked quite a lot. I had Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese on an Everything Bagel. It was very good. The service was very efficient and reasonably pleasant and the prices were quite fair. We will go back if we ever have the chance to do so in the future.

They are best known for their salt beef bagels. At the front, in their store window, premade salt beef bagels are ready to be fixed with either or both mustard and pickles. Various pastries/desserts are displayed in their counter ready to go. Note: no table seating inside, just counter tops. Ordered : Salt beef bagel- bagel warm, generous amounts of salt beef, mustard, and sliced pickles. The bagel was over slathered with a horseradish mustard, so much, that it overpowered the taste of the beef. Smoked salmon bagel without cream cheese- underwhelming. Bagel was cold and hard. I did not eat the top half of the bagel. Minimal amount of smoked salmon. The girl behind the counter looked like she could care less to be there and wasn't super friendly or helpful. All in all, happy to have tried it, not sure I'd come back again for more ...

Fresh bagels in a variety of flavors with a long list of toppings. The glass case displays everything and most of it looks really fresh. The bagels I've had have been pretty good, considering this isn't New York. ;-) I've tried the egg mayonnaise (Americans call it "egg salad") on a wheat bagel and a ham and cheese on the multi-seeded bagel and both were good. They have coffee and other beverages, but I don't have enough hands to juggle that too. Because it's all prepared as you order it, have a little patience because it can take a few minutes to toast the bagel and add your toppings. And if you've ordered a latte or cappucino, that will take a bit longer.

Some of the staff can be a bit short, but on the whole they're friendly enough. They've got tables now to make it a little more cafe style but there are some things (mostly beef related) that they don't allow to be eaten in store. Most of their pastries look good and the ones that I've tried are tasty if a little stodgy. Not being close to a tube station, I don't visit that often but if given the chance, they're one of the better bakeries out there.

Nice thing about this place is that they have a large variety of pastries and bread, as well as several big coolers with prepared sandwiches, egg salad, cream cheese, etc., and they don't run out of bread in the late afternoon like some bakeries. Wish I could pay with a car for transactions under 10 pounds though. I don't get why that's such a problem everywhere.

I can happily attest to the fact that this was not the case with the bagel purchased from Patisserie Valerie. I had sufficient salmon coverage and the counter lady warmed the bagel up just the right amount so it didn't become over chewy when cooled down. Sat in a table outside, but wasn't able to access the free wifi - guess its range is only limited to the diners eating inside?

Let's be honest, the best place to get bagels is New York…read more I've eaten bagels in different bagel stores and delis in Brooklyn, Greenwich Village and Little Italy and every single one tasted lip-smackingly good. Unfortunately, none of those bakers want to relocate to Brighton - which leaves us with Bagelman. A tiny store with a handful of stools in the North Lanes, it serves a variety of hot and cold bagels. You can make your own from £1.50-£3.50, try one of the hot tuna, sausage or meat melts for or opt for one of the specials like cream and cheese and salmon or chicken, bacon and avacado. You won't find a bagel layered with sizzling salt beef though. For that, my friends, you'll have to hop over the pond...

The only downside is that the gluten free option isn't ACTUALLY a bagel, but it's still really yummy, so I will let it slide.
