The taste and texture is so unique that makes me WOW. The staff are passionate and the environment is vintage, I hope they can expand the customer zone instead of expanding someday but only for their kitchen lol. Bacon is a bit tough and the avocado tastes not so good as the ones without baking, but overall the bagels are awesome and healthy.
A very fun place to eat! Recommend getting the King Salmon. The only problem is that there isn't a lot of seating but its a very good quick meal
The most buttery delicious bagels, such a favourite brunch snack option 🥯
Absolutely delicious bagels for brunch! Highly recommend trying their king salmon. Loved the condiments provided too. A must try if you're in Wellington
Awesome atmosphere and great team working there. The bagels are just little gems, perfectly crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Highly recommend trying king salmon
FALSE ADVERTISING... I'll let the Standard marmite and cheese and a 'King Kong' speak for themselves. All you need to know is they're not that ugly after all! ;)
What is true, is well... Its the best bagel I've eaten in a long TIME. Simply put - Yum.
This place is so cosy and the fact that you can see what’s happening in the kitchen makes you feel like the food is prepared with great care and love. Loved my pb and j bagel! Bit pricey but worth every cent. The staff are friendly too and I think it’s cute they all shout out orders together haha
Super yum just as good as the one in Auckland. We got the white rabbit and the jam, so tasty! The lemon and fennel olive oil made the bagel so full of flavour
Iced maple is a must! The meals seem small but is really filling. The king salmon is my personal favourite. Always very fresh with the perfect balance of salty-ness.
*This is a shout out to the Wellington airport branch
So glad we discovered this gem at the airport!! Was well impressed with the friendliness, efficiency and positive energy of the staff, who function more like a well oiled team! Fun to watch them work, and they seem to enjoy their craft.
A Mean Joe Green bagel of avo, tomato, topped with delicious bacon was my choice, and a Schmear (cream cheese on bagel) kept Mrs Chef happy. Thanks to Havana beans, and well trained baristas, the coffees are on point. The feel of the place is laid-back, slightly retro, yet quick and efficient. A great mix that will see us make a bee line each time we’re travelling out of Wellington Airport. Check it out yourself - you won’t be disappointed.

New Yorker here. I’ve been to plenty of bagel places outside of NYC (the epicenter of bagels) that have simply failed to meet the minimum requirements of what a bagel should taste like. Fortunately that is not the case with Ugly Bagels. These are legit.
I started with a simple, buttered and toasted sesame bagel. Delicious. Light but chewy, it has all the taste and texture and density I expect in a bagel. I’m used to walking into NYC delis and seeing baskets full of assorted bagel types, but Ugly Bagels has prepackaged packs of four arranged by type (plain, sesame, etc.). While I would have liked to have seen baskets organized by flavor (salt, cinnamon/raisin, blueberry, poppy seed, etc.) I won’t hold it against the shop.
Also, these bagels are a little thinner than the usual super-thick NY bagels, which is good because I don’t feel like I’m going to collapse in a food coma after I eat one. That’s a win.
I’ve been meaning to check this place out for a while now and I am not disappointed. I know my bagel-loving kids will be relieved they can get a taste of home here.
My 1st experience was great, excellent service, beautiful food and the atmosphere was on point. It can be hard to find on a vehicle because of the one way streets. But once you find it ,you'll keep coming back💯🤤🤤👌🏾

Small nook of a place right in the middle of the city. The staff are enthusiastic and positive, always a great vibe in here! Simple and delicious bagels and coffee. Honestly can't go wrong!
Expensive but nice!
Love best ugly for a quick, yet satisfying feed. Great staff who’ll have your coffee cupped and your bagel boxed in a blink of an eye! Highly appreciate the generous samples that tie me me over while I’m waiting to order.
The Jelly Tip bagel is legendary. Nothing better than a dense, soft chocolate bagel covered in cream cheese and dripping with chocolate sauce and raspberry jam. You’ll probably need a roll of paper towels to clean your hands with afterwards, but 100% worth the stickiness.
Very unique place. Nice bagels and chance to see the preparation of the product. Still the bagels are a bit too dense and the salty ones a bit pricey.
There is a small area to eat, nothing fancy
Got the salmon bagel; toppings were awesome, the bagel was … not a bagel imo lol but was fine (it was too much like bread and not as firm as a NYC style bagel) Probably the best bagel sandwich you can find in Wellington though and the coffee was delicious so still makes for a great breakfast
Great atmosphere, friendly and welcoming staff. Well priced and not to mention the food is amazing. Lots of options including vegetarian and vegan options and staff are more than happy to answer questions around other dietary requirements. Overall, one of my favourite places to grab a bite in Wellington.
Was stoked to check this place out, had a great vibe and is clearly popular. Heaps of options on the menu and stockists of the best mustard (old yella) and tomato ketchup I have ever had👌🏻I opted for the bacon, tomato and avo bagel and was stoked when it came out with heaps of bacon and open faced. Stacey got the white rabbit veggie option. Good bagels overall, just wish there was a bit more.
Superb Bagels and amazing coffee! Fresh & fast! Wonderful brekkie option early in Te Aro!
Amazing food, amazing quality, incredible coffee. Most efficient kitchen i’ve seen in a very long time, everyone working deserves an award. Would give this place 7 stars if I could
