Elephant Bagel Yeongdeungpo 코끼리베이글 영등포점

On weekends each customer may buy up to 3 of any one kind and 8 bagels in total, though a group can pool its limits. Sandwich bagels, which sit outside that cap, have bread brushed with olive oil on both sides and filled with jamon, Emmental, mashed potato and tomato. The bakery's main shop is in Yangpyeong, and when the door opens here the smell of the wood-fired oven spills out. The bagels are chewy like rice cake yet moist, and light enough that two go down easily. Salt butter and shrimp with green onion sit alongside walnut, basil, red pepper and salted chocolate. Plain bagels usually sell out before noon, and weekend lines form before opening, often meaning a 30-minute wait. There is no dedicated parking, but the paid lot at Yeongdeungpo-gu Office is nearby.
