Holy Bagel - Nottingham

Nottingham locals with a morning appetite know exactly where to find Holy Bagel, a breakfast specialist that’s been quietly winning over early risers and hungover students alike. Tucked away in the city centre, this spot has built a loyal following by doing one thing properly: proper bagels, packed full of flavour. It holds a solid Food Hygiene Rating, which is always reassuring when you’re about to tuck into something this generously filled. The vibe is no-nonsense, the kind of place where the focus is on the food, not the frills.

Their menu is built around classic combinations done with care. Think crispy bacon with maple syrup, or a salt beef stacked high with gherkins and mustard. The bagels themselves are soft, chewy, and toasted just enough to hold everything together without falling apart. They also do a mean breakfast bagel, loaded with sausage, egg, and melted cheese – proper hangover fodder. Whether you’re grabbing one to eat on the go or having it delivered straight to your door, Holy Bagel delivers comfort food that hits the spot every time.
