Nowadays, it's easy to find bagels in the metro. But finding a good bagel is the real challenge. Vegan, vegetarian and homemade bagels more your jam? Now you can find it at Bangin' Bagels...


From down south in ParaƱaque, Bangin' Bagels adds its own homemade, vegetarian and vegan bagel offerings to your list of artisan fresh-baked options. Hand-rolled, boiled and baked the old-fashioned way, Bangin' Bagels' sourdough creations hits the spot with a bang guaranteed to satisfy all your bagel cravings. Ready for a bangin' bite?


The world's love affair with the iconic bread roll transcends through time, history and cultures, even becoming a recurring plot device in movies with the "everything bagel" as the latest example in an Oscar-nominated film. From its early Jewish and Eastern European origins to its enduring and timeless status as a defining example of the Big Apple's experience, bagels are slowly gaining popularity right here offering a unique taste of a New York classic. Bangin' Bagels weaves its own twist with its vegetarian, vegan and homemade sourdough spin, and it's absolutely bangin'. 


The distinctive shape of the bagel is often described as a "doughnut with the sin removed" but the similarities end there. The best way to get acquainted with the unique style of Bangin' Bagels is with the box of Assorted Sourdough Bagels (P 580/6 pcs) with two Plain Bagels, Cranberry Walnut, Cheese, Multi Grain and their specialty Everything But The Bagel. You can also customize your box of six with their other variants like the Raisin and Dates Pecan


The traditional boiled and baked process gives these bread rolls that distinctive texture and mouthfeel, delicately crisp on the outside and soft and chewy inside with its dense finish. The use of sourdough also adds subtle sweet, salty and tart hints with each chewy bite to complete your Bangin' Bagel experience.


The packed and dense bread rolls gives these fresh-baked creations by Bangin' Bagels a noticeable weight difference, much heavier and setting it apart from the usual bread. With the traditional bagel as its base, Bangin' Bagels gets creative with a variety of toppings like multi-grain, cheese, cinnamon and raisins. From the traditional to to creative and modern spins, Bangin' Bagels offers a wide array of flavors for your bagel fix.


Now let's give this Assorted Sourdough Bagels from Bangin' Bagels a test drive...


A few minutes in the toaster or oven to warm it up and you'll soon discover there's just nothing "plain" with the Plain Bagels by Bangin' Bagels. The weight and dense texture results in a hearty bite delivering subtle and contrasting layers of sweet, salty and sour notes in a balanced and seamless blend. Add a generous and proper schmear, and the Plain Bagels are transformed with a creamy richness. 


The Multi-Grain Bagel brings a layer of deep nutty hints into play adding both texture and flavor with each bite. With just plain salted butter or better yet, a schmear of cream cheese, the Multi-Grain Bagel becomes a hearty and filling meal in itself. 


A closer look and another bite immediately tells you these bagels are legit. And absolutely bangin'.


The Cranberry Walnut Bagel brings the bright and vibrant notes of sweet and tart cranberries and nutty sweetness of walnuts in a unique and flavorful blend for a new and refreshingly different bagel experience.  


A proper schmear of cream cheese completes the Cranberry Walnut Bagel, with the lingering notes of cranberries and walnuts rounding out a complex weave of flavors smoothened by the elegantly luscious and smooth cream cheese.


The Cranberry Walnut Bagel is just one of many creative bagel expressions from Bangin' Bagels, and for those who love cheese... 


...the Cheese Bagel with its layered crust of cheese is the perfect choice. And it doesn't hurt to add even more cheese to this cheesy combo from Bangin' Bagels. Each bite delivers a cheesy burst, rounded out by the sourdough notes of the bagel. 

Starting with the homemade bagel as its base, Bangin' Bagels has an almost infinite blank canvas to paint colorful and flavorful variations. For those looking for a sweeter option, the Cinnamon Crunch Toastie by Bangin' Bagels may just be the one for you. 


There's nothing more traditional or iconic than the timeless lox and bagels, and Bangin' Bagels offers its own luxurious take with the OG Lox Sammie (P 520) with premium smoked trout, locally sourced baby arugula, dill herb cream cheese, tomatoes, capers and red onions on the specialty Everything But The Bagel.  


The loaded bagel brings all the flavors of the classic, and more. The buttery smoked trout with its lingering hints of smokiness and briny sweetness is perfectly complemented by the cream cheese and fresh tomato with the sharp bite of the arugula, capers and red onions cutting through the richness for that balanced finish. The Everything But The Bagel becomes the perfect base, absorbing all the flavors while maintaining its form all the way to the last bite.
