You'll find yourself on one of Notting Hill's best-kept stretches, where It's Bagels does the unglamorous work of making bagels properly. This isn't the flimsy supermarket stuff—they're boiled then baked, with a proper chewy interior and crispy exterior that makes you understand why New Yorkers are insufferable about their bagels. The counter moves at a steady pace, with regulars ordering their usual whilst newcomers study the chalkboard menu. Grab a seat at one of the small tables crammed inside, or take your breakfast to Kensington Park and watch Notting Hill wake up.
