Are you a bagel enthusiast? Do you crave that perfect combination of chewiness and flavor that only a well-made bagel can offer? Look no further! Bagel’s Dream, located at Lebuh Campbell in George Town, Penang, is a little piece of bagel heaven that you simply must visit.

In this blog, we’ll take you on a delightful journey through Bagel’s Dream, highlighting their hand-rolled sourdough bagels, wide range of flavors, delectable sandwiches, enticing dips, and more. So, let’s dive in!

Bagels, for the uninitiated, are a circular bread roll with a dense, chewy texture that originated in the Jewish communities of Poland. They’re typically made from yeasted dough that is boiled before being baked, resulting in a unique texture that’s crisp on the outside and delightfully soft on the inside. At Bagel’s Dream, they take bagels to the next level by offering hand-rolled sourdough bagels.

If you’re health-conscious or simply prefer a more wholesome treat, Bagel’s Dream is the place for you. Their bagels are naturally fermented, free from added sugar and oil, making them a guilt-free indulgence. Whether you’re looking for a breakfast option, a midday snack, or a meal on the go, their bagels will leave you satisfied and energized.

Prepare to be amazed by the sheer variety of flavors offered at Bagel’s Dream. They take pride in their innovative creations, ranging from classic options like Poppy Seed and Mixed Sesame to more adventurous flavors like Belgium Dark Chocolate, Earl Grey Candied Lemon, Matcha Strawberry, Yam Purple Potatoes, Osmanthus Red Bean, and Mush Pesto. With over 15 options available, you’re sure to find your favorite bagel flavor, or perhaps even discover a new one!

Bagel’s Dream doesn’t just stop at bagels—they also craft mouthwatering sourdough bagel sandwiches that are sure to satisfy your cravings. During our recent visit to their cozy cafe, we had the pleasure of trying their Taro Date, a delightful combination of yam, chicken floss, egg, and plain cream cheese.

We also indulged in The B.L.T.E, a tantalizing creation featuring smoked beef bacon, a sunny-side-up egg, cheddar cheese, spring onion cream cheese, and mixed vegetables with tomato. These sourdough bagel sandwiches not only impressed with their flavors but also showcased the versatility of bagels as a base for a delicious meal.

One of the standout features at Bagel’s Dream is their “Dips” series. We couldn’t resist trying their Shakshuka, a flavorful poached egg served in their specialty tomato sauce with spices, accompanied by a freshly toasted bagel. It was a truly comforting and satisfying experience.

The Shakshuka contains minced chicken, adding an extra layer of taste and texture. With more than 4 dip options available, you can mix and match to your heart’s content, creating a personalized bagel experience.

We couldn’t resist trying their premium flavor, so we also ordered the delectable “Strawberry Creamcheese“. The luscious sweetness of the cream cheese, paired with the plain bagel, created a heavenly combination that was simply irresistible.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even upgrade your bagel selection. For just RM1.50, you can choose a bagel from their basic series, or if you’re feeling extra fancy, for RM3, you can upgrade to a flavor selection series bagel. The choices available at the counter will leave you spoiled for choice and add an extra element of excitement to your bagel experience.

To complement our bagel extravaganza, we sampled the Kombucha and Hot White drinks. The Kombucha was refreshing, with its tangy and fizzy notes, while the Hot White offered a comforting blend of flavors. Bagel’s Dream has a range of beverage options to choose from, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a drink alongside your bagel feast.

At Bagel’s Dream, they understand that the perfect bagel is incomplete without a schmear of cream cheese. That’s why they offer an impressive selection of in-house flavored cream cheeses to tantalize your taste buds.

From cranberry yogurt and garlic and herbs to caramelized onion, jalapeno, and spring onion, there’s a flavor to suit every palate. For those seeking an extra special treat, they even have premium flavors like strawberry, key lime, maple walnut, rum and raisin, and more. These delectable spreads are the perfect accompaniment to their plain bagels, enhancing every bite.

Bagel’s Dream is a must-visit destination for bagel enthusiasts and anyone looking for a unique and delicious dining experience in Penang. Their hand-rolled sourdough bagels, diverse flavor options, mouthwatering sandwiches, tantalizing dips, and delightful beverages make for a culinary adventure you won’t soon forget.
