The café with queues out the door

The Bagelry - a bagel shop on on Nelson Street in Liverpool's Chinatown - has been attracting customers who are willing to travel over 50 miles just to get a taste of its offerings. This café has soared in popularity recently, resulting in bustling crowds and 'queues out the door' most weekends.

Chef Hayley, 24, describes the location as "student central", mentioning that the shop is regularly busy and particularly swarmed by students during the weekend. Hayley said: "We are slap bang in student central. It's always busy here, but we get queues going out the door at the weekends."

What sets The Bagelry apart is its changing menu, which is reshaped based on the feedback of patrons. During my visit, I ordered a char sui pork bagel, freshly introduced for Chinese New Year, reports the Liverpool Echo.

According to Hayley: "Being on Nelson Street, and being the only non-Chinese owned business, we don't want to take a place that isn't ours - we want to be involved in the community. We love it here."

She added: "Everybody around here is lovely, and if we have leftovers, we always make sure to give them to the restaurants around us."

The Bagelry has a unique and fresh feel to it. With pride flag wall hangings and bright art, it's clear this place is popular with students.

They even sell their own merchandise like t-shirts and tote bags.

Hayley told us that while their Chinatown shop is the main one, they also have another shop on Dovedale Road in Mossley Hill. This one is more family-friendly.

She said: "There's something for everyone here. We want to make stuff that we're passionate about.! You can tell that people love The Bagelry just as much
