L.E.S. Bagels: The Best Place for Bagels in Manila
The team who brought us the New York-inspired pizza parlor, Nolita, and the midnight munchies haven, Borough,
has, once again, blessed us with a new food concept; something that’s
surely been absent from the Manila food map: a bagel shop.
L.E.S. Bagels
Called L.E.S. Bagels,
as in Lower East Side, the new bagelry is a cross between a mini café
and a bakery. Located at Tuscany Residences, along Upper McKinley Road
in The Fort, the place occupies a small two-floor area, where customers
can dine in at the second level or al fresco. The ground floor is
entirely for taking orders and gawking at the magnificent spread of
bagels, tubs of cream cheese variants, and a spectacular array of
cookies, donuts, muffins and other baked goods. It’s small; roughly 30
people can dine in comfortably, so ordering for takeaway might be best.
