Banook Bagels, East Dulwich:
Banook started in 2023 to offer a staple food missing south of the river: bagels. Beginning life in an industrial warehouse on Latona Road in Peckham, founders Ashley and Dave are now moving their bagel operation to East Dulwich Road in East Dulwich.
The move marks an exciting step in their plans to grow the business and increase footfall, with more seating space and an expanded menu in the works. Their menu features plain bagels, sesame bagels, and their most popular option, the “everything bagel.”
Opening spring 2026.
