Grumpy Bagels 1905 (Sentul Depot)
Grumpy Bagels brings authentic New York-style bagels to Sentul Depot's heritage industrial setting, creating an unexpectedly transporting cafe experience. This second outlet occupies a beautifully restored 1900s building overlooking parkland, with English-inspired interiors that feel more Melbourne than Kuala Lumpur. Their freshly baked bagels deliver proper chew and solid crust, with generous fillings ranging from classic scallion cream cheese to honey variations. Beyond bagels, the expanded kitchen serves surprisingly excellent savoury dishes including squid ink pasta with a subtle kick, duck pasta, and Korean kimchi risotto alongside crispy mini hash browns. The vintage-meets-industrial aesthetic creates an Instagram-worthy backdrop without sacrificing comfort. Service remains friendly despite overwhelming opening crowds, though popular weekend slots require patience through their WhatsApp queue system. Coffee holds its own alongside specialty drinks like yuzu sea salt soda and strawberry matcha. Whether grabbing bagels to go or settling in for weekend brunch, this spot delivers quality execution in a space that rewards the journey to Sentul West.
