While shopping in Mayfair, London W1, I finally stopped at Kleinsky’s on North Audley Street. I’ve passed by many times, and it’s always looked busy, which is a good sign, so on this occasion, I went in for a taste test.

Kleinsky’s Bagel Menu
You begin by choosing your bagel base, with options ranging from plain, sesame, and poppy to onion, everything, pretzel, or pumpernickel. I deliberated over the vegetarian options for a while. Should I keep it classic with a cream cheese schmear, opt for smashed avocado, or maybe the egg mayo with crisp cos lettuce? In the end, I picked a sesame bagel, its chewy texture and nutty crunch from the toasted seeds making it a perfect match for my filling. I went with the veggie stack of avocado, gherkins, carrot, red onion, tomato, and lettuce, all brought together with a punchy honey mustard mayo. Fresh, crunchy, and tangy, it was satisfying without feeling heavy, and I savoured every bite.
The fillings span classic choices such as smoked salmon with cream cheese, tuna mayo or melt, sliced turkey, hot pastrami, or a Ruben. But they also mix it up with a panko crumbed chicken schnitzel paired with Asian slaw, kewpie mayo, and tonkatsu sauce. If you’re at Kleinsky’s in the morning, you can try the breakfast banger bagel with a smashed banger patty, fried egg, red Leicester, and chipotle ketchup. There’s a wide selection of extras allowing you to stack any bagel or create your dream DIY version. Check out the sides like coleslaw, potato salad, pickle spears, or chopped salad. Bagel prices range from £6.30 to £14.50.
From the coffee menu, I had a latte, which you can pair with a pastry or sweet treat like a babka slice or cinnamon bun. Other drinks include teas, matcha, or chai lattes, alongside fresh juices, iced tea, sodas, and lemonade.
