We compared 8 bagel shops in Sydney on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

A good bagel comes down to chew, a proper boil and turning up when the doors are actually open, and in Sydney that last part trips people up: one shop here trades Friday to Sunday only, and another lists weekday hours. The bagel shops in Sydney below hold 1,072 Google reviews between them, with ratings running from 4.1 up to 4.9, so the useful question is which one fits your morning, not which one is good.

Short answer: Brooklyn Boy Bagels in Marrickville leads on proven volume, with 4.1 stars across 474 Google reviews, the most on this page. Brew and Bagel in North Sydney holds the highest rating at 4.9 across 136 reviews, and Lox In A Box Paddington and Ina's Bagels both sit at 4.7.

Our take: A strong rating, with 150 of its 169 ratings at five stars, but a smaller review base than Brooklyn Boy Bagels, which is why it ranks behind it. A good pick for a sit-down brunch in the eastern suburbs.

4.9136 Google reviews

  • Reviewers name the brekkie bagel, a jalapeno spicy mayo bagel and a poached chicken and avocado Turkish lunch

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer found a smoothie small for the price
  • Google lists weekday hours only, so it will not suit a weekend bagel run

Watch: 5 Best Bagel Shops in Sydney (2026)

How the scorecards work

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the shop’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, compared with other Sydney bagel shops. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from a modest base is read more cautiously than a strong score from many reviews. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does a bagel cost in Sydney? (2026)

Price depends on the bagel and filling, whether you add a coffee, whether you dine in or take away, and any weekend surcharge. As one reference point, a Google price tag on a Lox In A Box Paddington review reads $20 to $40 per person. Check the board before you order.

Bagel shops across Sydney

These shops sit in Marrickville in the inner west, Paddington in the eastern suburbs, Rose Bay on the harbour side and North Sydney across the bridge. Looking for a bagel shop near me? Each listing shows a phone number, address and directions so you can check hours before you go.

Before you head out for bagels

  • Are you open today? Hours differ a lot: one shop trades Friday to Sunday only and another lists weekdays.
  • Do board prices include the bagel, and is there a weekend or service surcharge?
  • Are the bagels boiled and baked in house, and can I buy them by the dozen to take home?
  • Do you take large catering or platter orders, and how much notice do you need?
  • Can you cater for vegan, gluten-free or vegetarian diets?
