Brick Lane Treasure by Si Gross
Brick Lane Treasure
As far as I'm concerned, there's only two Beigel shops in London - Beigel Bake and Beigel Shop. Both on Brick Lane in the East End of London.
I buy beigels from the shop with the white sign called Beigel Bake. Simply I prefer their hot gooey beigels.
The first time I came to London my friend Ant brought me here for a mustard hot and chunky salt beef beigel. I've been coming ever since. Nowadays, I'm partial to a smoked salmon and cream cheese filling.
From my regular visits to Brick Lane, I made a street scene digital ink drawing of the treasured Beigel Bake bakery.
The artwork is called “Brick Lane Treasure”.
Here 24 hours a day selling beigels, those golden gooey treasure rings.
“Our History
Brick Lane Beigel Bake is a family run bakery established in 1974 by Asher & Amnon Cohen and Sammy Minzley.
The trio began their journey working with their brother Jonny Cohen who was running a bakery.
They worked many long and hard hours supplying numerous bakeries and perfecting the beigel that we know and love today. Several years later, Jonny sold up shop and the trio moved their operation a couple of doors down to 159 Brick Lane.
Brick Lane Beigel Bake was born.”
