Orange Bagel: a Suwon bakery with a taste of New York

Orange Bagel carries the slogan "A TASTE OF NEW YORK IN EVERY BITE." and aims for the flavor of authentic New York bagels.

Orange Bagel hot Americano: ₩5,500

At Orange Bagel we ordered two hot Americanos.

The Americano had a deep, rich flavor, which made it perfect with bagels. It's ₩5,500 per cup.

The three bagels we ordered at Orange Bagel

Orange Bagel has a wide variety of bagels ready.

We ordered three: the Deep Choco Bagel, the Potato Bagel and the Mocha Bun Bagel.

Deep Choco Bagel (₩6,900): how does it compare with the choco baguette?

The one I was looking forward to most was the Deep Choco Bagel. Choco baguettes are all the rage lately, so I was curious how the Deep Choco Bagel would taste.

The Deep Choco Bagel is a chewy bagel packed with rich chocolate filling, sweet yet deeply chocolatey.

Compared with a choco baguette, the bagel's chewy texture adds a different kind of charm. It costs ₩6,900.

Mocha Bun Bagel (₩4,900): sweet and full of mocha aroma

The Mocha Bun Bagel is sweet and full of mocha aroma. It's crisp outside and moist inside, with a great texture, and the mocha flavor comes through nicely. It costs ₩4,900.

Potato Bagel (₩6,900): mild and soft

The Potato Bagel is mild and soft. You can taste the nutty richness of potato, and the soft texture makes it easy to enjoy without feeling heavy. It costs ₩6,900.

Orange Bagel: overall verdict

Orange Bagel is a place to enjoy a variety of tasty bagels along with deep, rich coffee.

The atmosphere is nice too, so I'd recommend it for a date or an outing.

The Deep Choco Bagel in particular holds its own against the hot choco baguette, so I'd definitely recommend it to chocolate lovers.
