Even the toughest bagel critic will struggle to nitpick Small Talk’s fluffy, daily-baked dough. This staunch suburban favourite makes Montreal-style bagels – everything or sesame – and they’re some of the best you’ll find in Sydney. Fresh cream cheese and layers of mild smoked salmon are complemented by the mild acidity of pickled onion in a classic lox, while the pastrami bagel is actual perfection.
Must order: The brekky bagel infused with jalapeno relish adds a spice-laden twist to a breakfast favourite.
