American beigels are more bread began beigel. They’re supposed to be boiled before being baked. If you want a decent beigel in london then you need to go to Temple Fortune and walk into Daniel’s. Haven’t found better anywhere.

Yeah, writing this made me realise I need to invest a little effort in the London options beyond Beigel Bake. I've eaten a few elsewhere, but none that have stuck out. Will add Daniel's to the map to try though, got a few other places in Temple Fortune I need to check out too!

Daniel’s is kosher. Mind you most places in NW11 are too. Care needed with timing!

Hah, good point, I could definitely see myself not thinking about that! Very good to know about the challah too, feel like it's been years since I ate good challah!
