Interior of The Great Bagel & Coffee Company (Macquarie Centre)
I've always wondered what the bagels at The Great Bagel & Coffee Company are like. Ever since Macquarie Centre was renovated quite a few years ago, The Great Bagel & Coffee Company has been a standalone store at a corner on the top level. A mysterious standalone store, at that. But one day in the recent past, fate and destiny and chance determined that we would cross paths, once and for all.
Epic retelling aside, I tried the sweet chilli chicken gourmet bagel sandwich. It cost $8.90, which was rather dear, but it was well worth it. The portions of the bagels at The Great Bagel & Coffee Company are not large by any means; however, the taste of my bagel sandwich was appetising, fresh and healthy. The bagels at The Great Bagel & Coffee Company will definitely not leave you with a guilty afterthought.

You might, however, feel guilty if you ordered a side of onion rings with your bagel like I did. A side of onion rings at The Great Bagel & Coffee Company costs a meagre $3.50, which is a pretty good price for what you get. The onion rings come in a small basket, and the onion rings themselves are sweet and crispy, after having been fried in a deliciously indulgent batter.

In conclusion, The Great Bagel & Coffee Company store at Macquarie Centre scored high marks with me. The mysterious store on the corner turned out to be a hidden gem, and I am looking forward to trying it again soon.
