An institution in the area and a fine example of Jewish bakery. I m blessed to have tasted what is wonderful way of first boiled then baked of what is a bagel and truly a fine way to enjoy the different flour. We had a caraway bagel, a garlic, an onion and blueberry bagel. Kids loved it and well seasoned and flavoured, they even have a fully filled sandwich bagel. This is a must try in the area.

Family Friendly

Picked up a bag using the too good to go app. Love love love the bread. I had one large sweeeeeet sweet sweet (as in delish) challah. Will be coming back for a proper sit down. Also the bagels are beautiful! These guys were definitely too good to go. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

The cafe food is pretty good. However the items on the menu which claim to include sour dough simply do not. You get just regular bread, or perhaps it's some very diluted version of sour dough.

The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the sight of two frozen drinks machines which look like they haven't been cleaned in years. Full of black mould, grey matter and generally gross substances... If this is an indicator of the food safety standards, I'd recommend staying far away from this cafe.

This 1 star is purely on the basis of the bagel filling which was so disappointing! I got two bagels - salmon and cream cheese and a melted cheese - the fillings were so thin as to barely be able to taste it and the melted cheese bagel was crushed in a sandwich press rather than a grill so you’re left with a bagel frisbee slightly glued together with cheap cheese. I love bagels and haven’t been to Glicks in a while and based on today’s experience, I won’t be going back - 20 years ago, Glicks was the only decent place to get a bagel but that’s not the case anymore!
