After sampling their first authentic New York-inspired bagel on the streets of Brick Lane in the East End of London, Megan and Lawrence were hooked, line and sinker. Obsessed with the deliciously dense and chewy delights, the couple scoured cafes and bakeries upon return to the Gold Coast but were saddened by their search results. The pair, not willing to contemplate a life without bagels, began creating their own and just like that Hole Bagel Co was born. Fast forward a short while and Hole Bagel Co is now churning out authentic boiled bagels at the Palm Beach Currumbin farmers markets and the Gold Coast Turf club markets on a weekly basis as well as supplying a number of cafes around the coast.

Hole Bagel Co’s bagels follow a traditional method, where every bagel is hand shaped, slow proved overnight to develop its distinctive flavour profile, boiled in water with barley malt extract syrup and salt and finally baked until golden. Seek out Hole Bagel Co on your next market mission and buy a pack to keep in the freezer or be tempted by one of the delicious pre-made combinations containing smoked salmon, dill and lemon cream cheese or The Ruben with pastrami, swiss cheese, spiced red cabbage and Russian dressing. If your bagel craving falls outside of the weekend, find Hole Bagel Co’s baked goods at The Lott Espresso Bar, Caffeine Kings, Canvas Espresso, Burleigh Social, Little Mali Espresso Deli and Black Sheep Espresso Baa to name a few.
