The Whole Bagel

You'll find The Whole Bagel tucked away on Upper Borough Walls, in that strip where locals actually eat rather than tourists queuing for the obvious spots. Walk in and you're met with the smell of bagels being boiled and baked properly—none of that bread-roll nonsense. The place has that unfussy, straightforward vibe of a proper bagel joint: order at the counter, grab a seat if there's one going, and watch people come back because they know what they're getting. It's the kind of spot that's busy at breakfast because Bath's actually figured out where to get a decent bagel.
