Saigon Bagel

Saigon Bagel is a bakery and cafe on Nguyễn Cừ, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City, that makes New York-style bagels. The kitchen boils and bakes traditional water bagels fresh every morning on site. Bakers produce classic varieties such as sesame, poppy seed, onion, garlic, and everything. The bakery also turns out plain bagels, sourdough loaves, and sweet cinnamon raisin rounds.

The menu centers on savory bagel sandwiches and house-blended cream cheese schmears. Sandwiches feature fillings like house-cured salmon gravlax, red onion, fresh dill, and capers. Deli-style options include beef pastrami with sauerkraut, sliced cheddar cheese, and Russian dressing. Sweet offerings include a Baklava Bagel filled with chopped pistachio, walnuts, honey, and cream cheese. The kitchen also prepares Mediterranean pita sandwiches, chicken gyros, homemade hummus, and fresh salads.

Saigon Bagel stocks grocery items and deli condiments for takeaway use. Refrigerated shelves display take-home tubs of savory and sweet cream cheese schmears. Shoppers purchase packaged bagel chips, granola, house-made jams, and tzatziki dips. The shop packs frozen bagels in six-count bags for home storage. Beverages include espresso coffee, cold brew, fruit smoothies, and specialty iced teas.

The cafe features indoor air-conditioned seating beside a walk-up order counter. Glass windows look out onto the residential street in Thảo Điền. The business originally operated in District 1 before relocating its kitchen to Thủ Đức City. The storefront serves neighborhood residents, expatriates, remote workers, and morning commuters. Delivery drivers frequently collect takeaway breakfast parcels from the front counter.
