London Bagel Museum is a famous bagel shop in Anguk, and it turns out they’ve opened a branch in Apgujeong as well. Everyone says it’s famous, so I went to see for myself.

A place like this..

But the queue is no joke?? They open at 8, and I got there at 8:45 — my ticket was number 99 with 65 groups still ahead of me. By the time I finally got in around 10, the waiting list had grown to 264 people. The popularity is insane. I assumed a branch would be a bit more relaxed, but if I’d known it would be like this I should have come right at opening.

I walk around the area for a bit.

Dosan Park

The view

Still, this is Apgujeong, so killing time here isn’t bad at all.

Going in

The inside isn’t all that big. The area where they make everything is far bigger. Well, with business this good I suppose that’s only natural..

This kind of atmosphere

Like this..

They sell pencils too..

Bagels

The bagels they sell look pretty delicious. So that’s why they’re so popular.

There’s a signature bagel as well, but it’s a bit much to finish on my own, so maybe next time..

The queen has changed since then.. I’m sure it’s fine..

It’s packed, so I’d better buy and get out quickly..

The packaging

They’ve really committed to the concept.

Why London..

I wonder if the portrait rights are all right..

Olive bagel

I’m not really a bagel person, but this place is pretty good. It was easy to eat.

Spring onion bagel

This one was chewy and felt packed full inside. No wonder it’s this popular. If the queue ever thins out, I’d like to go back again..
