A new bagel café has opened in Primrose Hill – but it’s not the only spot you can try in north London.

It's Bagels in Regent’s Park Road opened to customers on Monday (September 11), joining a host of other bakeries in the area.

North London has some of the best bagel spots in town and here we list five that deserve a visit.

Starting with the new bakery on the block – It's Bagel promises New York-style snacks.

The types of bagels at the shop are extensive – plain, poppy, sesame, garlic, onion, cinnamon and raisin, salted, pumpernickel to name a few.

They are boiled and then baked daily on site and priced at £1.50 each, or £18 for 13 bagels.
