Two Men Bagel House

A small little place nestled inside a mall in Tanjong Pagar, offers a verity of bags. Usually very packed around noon — lunch time, good to go there a little earlier, excellent lox bagel and walnut cream cheese bagel as well.

Very good and healthy fast food, however located within a mall, it tends to be a bit chilly. It is popular and was packed when I went there.
The bread makes you full, I would not call this a brunch but a proper bagel lunch.

First up: They’ve MOVED across the street to Icon Village so don’t go knocking on those closed doors on Enggor Street.
Icon Village’s hopeless with its food offerings, saved for 2 men’s and we instantly picked out the Spam Bagel (spam duh) which had luncheon, rockets, scallion, sriracha aioli, sunny side & avos, clasped between 2 hand-​rolled toasted bagels.
Everything was freshly made to order so it took some
15mins for our orders to arrive despite a pretty lean crowd (on a deserted Sunday afternoon). I suppose if you’re running tight on the clock over a typical lunch hr frenzy, this isn’t exactly fast grub.
The combination was spot on. I’m no fan of rockets/​arugula but the creamy sriracha aioli masked the earthy greens and I was secretly glad to be chomping down on those greens. The sunny side, albeit thoroughly cooked, was a perfect complement to the diced avocados. For a weekend mid-​day indulgence, this spam offering certainly came with some saving grace.
If life was a circle, please at least let it be a bagel.

Freshly made bagels, high quality ingredients, solid portions and great and friendly staff and service. Closest thing I’ve found in Singapore to the bagel places back home (U.S.). I come here every week — awesome.

Two Men Bagel House makes me upset:
— why have I been living in Singapore for 10 months without having their food?
— why don’t I live in the Tanjong Pagar area?
— why don’t I work in the CBD?
— why isn’t the service as good everywhere else?
So many regrets just to tell you that this place is DA BOMB!
I heard many raves so I was super hesitant, mainly due to previous experiences with hyped Western places in Singapore but Two Men delivers! I took one bite of their Cowking bagel which is pastrami based and I was sold. It was everything I expected and more!
In addition, the staff is amazing: they are super friendly, knowledgeable and cheery.
Once I am done crying in my corner over the fact that it is quite far for me, I am going back!
Highly recommended!

Thank goodness they are a ways away from my office… If they were closer, I’d probably indulge too often. Super yummy!

This may be the first time I’m doing a review without having even gone to the shop in question, Two Man Bagels. Let me explain.
I organized a potluck brunch on Sunday and my American friend brought a giant brown bag to lunch. I was all «hrmph who brings store bought food to a potluck?» as I cooked my organic sausages from Ryan’s when he said, «I brought bagels». That made me almost drop my sausages right there.
Bagels?!! In Singapore? «
“Please tell me it’s not those expensive things masquerading as bagels from ‘New York’ that are sold in Cold Storage?»
«Nope it’s from Two Man. It’s right by my house, I chat with them all the time and they make awesome, as-​good-​as-​it-​gets-​in-​Singapore bagels… oh and try the walnut cinnamon raisin something magic spread in that tub and thank me later.»
At that point I was pretty stoked to find the bag contained TWENTY bagels in a gazillion flavors. I couldn’t find a sesame bagel (cos I’m boring like that) but I found a brown raisin one, popped it in the toaster and generously spread the magic stuff on.
Oh. Ma. Gawsh.
Oh. My.
I ate that bagel in about a minute. And then I ate a half more.
It was crisp on the outside and had a good chew. Granted it isn’t New York or Bodo’s great, but hey we’re in Singapore. Plus I’m told the prices are faaaairly reasonable, unlike the child I traded in at Sacha & Sons for a lox bagel. So yes, the next time I intend to blow my carb budget, I’m taking this bum down to icon village. Wherever that is.

Wow. This place is truly exceptional. They get everything spot on. The bagels are fresh, chewy, and tasty beyond belief. The piglet, which includes a hash brown, crispy bacon, garlic aioli sauce, lettuce, and maybe tomato (?), was scrumptious. Definitely one of the best bagel sandwiches I’ve ever had. On top of that, they serve these bad boys all day long.
Prices are reasonable ($ 8.50 for the piglet) if not a touch pricey given the size of the servings. Taste makes up for that though. I also went out on a limb and splurged on the $ 4.50 lemonade. It was worth it. I even got a free refill; probably wouldn’t happen if I hadn’t been one of only 3 or 4 customers on a lazy Sunday, but kudos for the responsive service given the circumstances.
The vibe is relaxed and you can see the young staff rolling the dough and tossing those suckers in the oven. Absolutely, 100% worth another (or multiple) visits.

They have bagels of course but also all-​day breakfast bagelwiches as well as pizza bagel.
I picked a seeded bagel and chose Cowking (pastrami, parsley & onion, sour cream, jalapeños, Montréal bacon, gherkins (not for me!), melted cheese and sunny side egg. $ 13.90.
Bagel is nice and chewy.
Add a home-​made iced tea for $ 2 — not great.
Will come again!

I’m a crazy bagel fan. I’d have one (or two) a day every time i’m in NYC (it’s my post yoga breakfast staple). I even signed up for bagel baking classes just so that i can make my own (i still haven’t though) because nothing in Singapore satisfies my craving. Well Sacha & Sons does a decent one but there is only 1 option (sesame, with garlic herb schmear). I’ve been meaning to try Two Men Bagel for the longest time, upon word that freshly baked hand-​rolled doughs are done here.
To determine the quality of the bagel, i had to order them on their own. Bagels are priced from $ 2.60 onwards. I went with the Cinnamon Raisin Bagel with Walnut and Raisin Cream Cheese ($ 4.50) because sweet is always logical with a latte.
Well well. Knock knock. The crust was more like a shell, with a slightly blistered crust all around. It was too hard (mind you i’m comparing them to the NYC ones). Plus the dough was a little thin, thus it lacked that nice doughy chew. Flavor wise, it was also kind of strange, with an alkaline aftertaste, possibly due to the almost pretzel like shell. Perhaps i should have stuck with the regular cream cheese because the walnut raisin one was kind of grainy instead of rich creamy and the amount was so little! URGH. #spoiltbynyc Next time, i may just go with the Plain Cream Cheese and Berries Jelly but honestly they need to have more cheese on these.
Well Jr really liked the Chix ($ 9.90) on his onion bagel. The tender house-​roasted diced chicken thigh were generously smothered in lemon garlic aioli and peppered with the sourish pickled relish and fresh greens. We both agreed that the filling was delicious but it overshadowed the bagel. It could have been any other bread. In fact, it would have been better if it were a different carb that didn’t jab our gums with the hard shell. I had a few bites of the onion bagel on its own and it was rather flavorless, alkaline, and hard. BAH.
I really wanted to love Two Men Bagel, but i can’t. Can i like it? Maybe. But it kinda ranks the same as the packaged NYC Bagel Factory bagels, which may not be as fresh but at least their crust is better. Go for their bagel-​wiches to avoid disappointment. At least it’ll fill you up and the filling will distract you from the bagels. Or get the sesame bagels from Sacha & Sons and slather it with your own cream cheese mix.

Do not come here with half-​empty stomach because the portion is huge and filling! Came during lunch hour and the place is almost full, maybe due to people are still afraid to try bagels. Well, don’t be!
I ordered the Salted Two Men’s Specialty Bagelwiches which consists of so much salted juicy flavorful brisket layered with melted cheese, gharkins, and mustard. Simple but divine! Can’t stop mentioning about how juicy, melt-​in-​the-​mouth tenderness of the brisket.
The portion is huge, suitable for 1 very hungry person or shared with another person.

The bagels here are LEGIT. Having lived in New York and Philly for more than ten years, I’m a huge bagel snob and was suffering from huge bagel withdrawal after moving to Singapore. It wasn’t until I discovered TMBH that I was cured. Sure, you can find bagels at Fair Price and Jason’s, but if you want high quality bagels that actually taste fresh and authentic, you have to come here. It’s located in ICON with AC and free seating. Their bagels are chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. They also have an amazing, creative selection of savory bagel sandwiches. The staff is also very friendly and tries to remember the names of the regulars. Great food + great service + great atmosphere = scarcity in SG.

I got a bit confused at first on finding this place as it’s inside the mall, through an entrance near the japanese place. So worth it though. Such a wide variety of fillings and ‘schmears’ and the lemonade is really refreshing when you’re hot and sweaty. It is actually lemony too which is so nice because quite often lemonade in this sector of the world is very sweet. I actually got the lemonade for free which was really sweet of them! Thanks for that my dudes. The bagel is a proper bagel in that it is chewy and chunky and perfectly toasted. For 12 bucks the lox bagelwich is worth it because it is packed to the brim with salmon! Sometimes places charge a lot for salmon and what not and then give you a meager portion… NOT HERE! All in all, if you are craving deli style, New York or Brick Lane beigels, this is where you should go.

This place is amazing. REALLY good bagels and fun, friendly guys who are obviously passionate about what they do and dedicated to their work. Try the cucumber slushy too.

After recently moving from the US, one thing I’ve been craving immensely is bagels. I visited TMBH after reading fellow Unilocalers’ reviews and was not disappointed.
One bagel plain with no cream cheese (schmear on their menu) costs $ 2.60, or you can order 3 bagels for $ 6. I went with a friend and got 3 bagels toasted, with no schmear, mostly due to the price tag. The schmear costs +$ 3 – 5 extra, which is quite significant compared to the cost of the bagel.
All three bagels I ordered (black and white sesame, multigrain, and cinnamon raisin) were excellent, tasting fresh and perfect. Will definitely come back again when I have my carb cravings!

Yep… Official… This place just changed my life with only one bagel! Do yourself a favor and try something!
this place has got style, flavor fusion and makes me so happen when i get one of these. while the calorie count is not great, it is totally worth it!
i cant wait to get back and try more of their crazy flavors!

We had:
Smoked tomato soup
Tomato Avocado Basil bagelwich (in an onion bagel)
Rye Bagel with Jalapeño cream cheese
aaand an Olive rosemary bagel.
if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the different types of bagels, you should be!!! it’s got really flavor-​fullllll food. Oddly hard to get these days, no idea why.
Really wish I worked nearby so it could be my go to place for lunch.
–1 star because I really wished it was in a café type place instead of a bistro in a mall. It deserves a better place! :)

As a fan of all things pastry, I was really delighted that I somehow managed to convince my colleagues to have bagels for lunch! It was one of the establishments that kept appearing under most recommended whenever I was around the area, so i really had to try it.
The place itself reminded me of a small café, seatings were limited and the menu was mostly written in chalk on the boards above.
Pricing aside (hint, its abit expensive for bagels, but then again, everything around this area is priced on the higher end), the bagels were really fresh and delicious! I ordered myself a ‘chix’ bagel which was basically mayo chicken with an assortment of herbs and spices inside. What took me back was not the filling, but the bagel itself! They went out of ‘rye’ bagels and i decided to go for the caramelized onion flavour (i think thats what its called), not knowing what to expect. The explosion of moist flavor from the bagels was really something i was not expecting, since what i ordered was actually quite dry.
That being said, I’ve decided to make it my personal mission to at least try half of the bagels on menu, the flavour combinations all sounds very interesting and delicious!
If you’re looking for a quick quality breakfast, lunch or snack and dont mind paying abit extra for yummy FRESHLY made bagels, do give this place a try!!!

I was very impressed with the bagels from Two Men Bagel House!
As a long-​time bagel lover it’s great to see a business take these delicious doughy circles seriously. Apparently there are very few places to get a good bagel in Singapore.
These guys are the real deal. The owners told me they travelled to all the bagel hot spots around the world to work out exactly how to make the perfect bagel. I think they’ve nailed it.
I had the fruit and cinnamon bagel with walnut and raisin creamed cheese. I had never tried walnut and raisin cream cheese before and it was a revelation, especially on the spicy fruit bagel.
They don’t just offer the bagels, they have more full breakfast options (eggs etc) that accompany bagels too.
My only gripe is that they didn’t have any tea — a breakfast drink staple.

One thing I love about Singapore is that there are enough western options available if I ever get tired of Asian cuisines. Sure, sometimes it might cost an arm and a leg to get a taste of home, but c’est la vie, right?
It’s about damn time bagels have come to the red dot, and Two Men Bagel House is filling that void for me. You can find these guys opposite Cold Storage in the Icon Village extension.
I’m somewhat of a bagel purist, so I stuck with my favourite sesame bagel with plain cream cheese. (I did love how they added black sesame seeds to theirs, though!) My colleague had a cinnamon raisin bagel with walnut raisin cream cheese, which she loved. I mean, where else in SG can you get walnut raisin cream cheese?!
They also have heavier meals if you’re looking past cream cheese, so check ‘em out. I also loved how they were blasting a live recording of John Mayer while we were there. And the chalkboard is titled «Menu of Sorts». These guys just speak to me and I must say they’re as good as it gets in SG!
