Hole lotta love – Broadbeach-born O Bagel opens a third outpost in Southport

From the golden-brown, slightly chewy exterior to the soft-and-fluffy dough with just the right amount of firmness and saltiness, there’s more to creating the perfect bagel than you might think. This is something that the trio behind the Broadbeach-born O Bagel know all too well. After eight long months of testing, tweaking and trying different variations, Nick Jang, a chef with 12 years experience, alongside business partners Chloe Kim and Henry Kim, perfected the recipe with just the right amount of chewiness and density, so you don’t need to immediately have a nap after eating. Described as 'New York-style adapted to Australian tastes', it seems the owners of O Bagel nailed the brief, having just opened the doors to their third (and largest) new bagel slinger.
