The Best Bagel Shops in Berlin
Last updated: June 27, 2025
A great bagel in Berlin? Hard to beat. Over the last few years, I’ve watched Berlin’s food scene level up, with bagels being no exception. From homemade schmears to house-cured lox, these shops are all about quality and flavor. Let’s dig in!
Bagel Bro
Bagel Bro may be the new kid on the block, but they’ve already got Berlin bagel lovers buzzing. Run by three Ukrainian friends with a serious passion for bagels, they’re all about quality, from homemade cherry jam to salmon cured in-house. Plus, slow-cooked beef that simmers for upwards of five hours and stars in their weekend special: the salted beef bagel. My personal favorite was the morning bagel: a gorgeous stack of egg, sausage, cheese, and wild garlic mayo. As a savory girl, I’m in heaven.
Try the matcha tonic if you’re into fizz and pure matcha taste. Also, most of their seating is outdoors.
Pro tip: If you’re not done with doughy delights, head down the street to Atelier Dough to try what are perhaps the best donuts in Berlin.

Fine Bagels
Fine Bagels is arguably Berlin’s most well-known bagel spot (they celebrated their 10 year anniversary in 2023!); the shop is run by a Jewish family with four generations of bagel-baking roots stretching from Warsaw to Boston.
I love ordering a rosemary sea salt bagel with chive cream cheese or ‘The Goat’ bagel sandwich on just about any base. These days, I prefer to pre-order for takeaway because the bagels tend to be fresher (the ordering site only worked for me on mobile, FYI), and I always add a tub of jalapeño cream cheese and at least one rosemary, one everything, and one egg bagel to my order. Their fancy schmears are €5 for 200 grams, and the bagels are €1.80 each.
Bonus: Fine Bagels is tucked inside one of Berlin’s coziest English-language bookstores.

Masha’s
Masha’s is another solid go-to for New York-style bagels in Berlin; the bagels are hand-rolled, homemade, and baked fresh daily. I’ve only been once so far and ordered the breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel, which came with egg and cheddar (plus I added bacon). It was tasty, but this bagel doesn’t automatically come with cream cheese, so be sure to ask for some — I didn’t, and I definitely missed it. Next time, I’ve got my eye on The New York Classic with gravlax.
Plant-based friends, you’re covered too: all their cream cheese flavors come in vegan varieties, and there’s a fried tofu bagel with spicy vegan mayo that looks like a winner. Plus, it’s a good excuse to explore Alt-Treptow, a charming neighborhood that deserves more love than it gets.

Krumm & Schief
Krumm & Schief is a newer P’Berg gem serving up homemade brioche and bagels — a dreamy combo if there ever was one. Bring a friend so you can split one of their mouthwatering Eggs Benedict alongside one of their loaded bagel sandwiches. The pulled beef bagel is a standout: tender, 24-hour cooked beef piled high with melted cheddar and crunchy coleslaw, served with a side of crispy potato chips. Come hungry!

Café Brick
The bagels are made in-house (impressive given their range of brunch options) and absolutely dressed to perfection.
I went for a stacked creation with fried egg, bacon, halloumi, pickles, jalapeños, greens, and tomato cream cheese, all tucked into an everything bagel. They also offer salmon and pulled turkey versions as well which I have no doubt are just as good. Truly one of the most impressive bagel sandwiches in Berlin, in my humble opinion.

Bagel Coffee Culture
This cozy spot serves up yummy toasted bagels in a relaxed, homey setting. Try the goat cream cheese with caramelized onion chutney or go classic with The Alaska, topped with salty smoked lox. It’s hard to go wrong.

Barcomi’s
Barcomi’s is a true Berlin institution, having first opened its doors back in the ’90s. I highly recommend the garlic bagel topped with cream cheese and fresh greens, but I last visited during the pandemic, so I need to return to enjoy a bagel in-house.
For those with a sweet tooth, you’re in for a treat: Barcomi’s is even more well-known for its cakes, particularly their classic New York–style cheesecake, made from the same beloved recipe since 1994. Their owner stems from Seattle, so I hear the coffee here is top-notch too.

What do you fancy love?
This sweet café offers much more than bagels, but if you’re a fan of bagels (which I’m going to assume you are), you’re in good hands. A classic cream cheese and homemade jam variety makes for a terrific start to the day, but skip the cream cheese in favor of peanut butter for a heartier take.

Baffels Café
Baffel’s is a charming spot for a simple, no-fuss bagel breakfast sandwich in Berlin. I visited once about five years ago, and though I’m not sure if the bagels are made in-house, I remember the bagel being pretty satisfying. They also sell waffles!

Limone - Coffee & Bagels
Limone Bagels keeps things flexible and fun, with a lineup of ready-made bagel sandwiches (great for a grab-and-go breakfast) and a DIY option that lets you pile on your favorite toppings. Whichever you choose, the bagels are tasty, the fillings are generous, and the prices are overall fair.

A.HORN
A.HORN is home to probably the priciest bagels on this list, but they’re quite enjoyable nonetheless. I’ve tried The Goat and The New Yorker, and both had me in bagel bliss. Their location is quite charming; you can cozy up outside in one of their glass greenhouse huts (blankets provided), grab a seat inside their bright and airy eatery, or take your breakfast to go and enjoy it in the nearby park. If you opt for the park, like I did, you’ll be treated to a lovely view of the Landwehr Canal, making it an idyllic morning escape.

O.Street Bagels
One of Berlin’s best NYC-style pizza spots, Magic John’s, has expanded into the bagel market with their pop-up, O.Street Bagels. They launched in May 2025 and currently run about one to two events per month.
From what I’ve gathered, their bagels are filled with cream cheese with mix-ins, but I’ve yet to see any additional fillings. Follow their Instagram for pop-up dates, and perhaps an announcement for permanent hours in the future. I haven’t been to a pop-up yet, but I plan to make it to one this summer. If their bagels are anything like their pizza, they’ll be fresh, creative, and well-made.
