With two locations to showcase its popularity, Expat Cynthia Barcomi has become a Berlin success story. Her focus on carefully chosen ingredients and culinary expertise has attracted a devoted following of expats and locals alike.
Notably known for its authentic, hand-made New York bagels, there are flavors ranging from onion to garlic, and even chocolate chip. You can indulge in these treats with homemade cream cheese or Philadelphia for a nostalgic experience. For something more elaborate, consider a sandwich with lachs (lox) to enjoy a true German/New York fusion.
The ideal complement to your bagel is coffee, and Barcomi’s offers an impressive selection. Their organic blends from Mexico, Guatemala, or Rwanda stand out, reflecting Barcomi’s roots in the highly caffeinated city of Seattle. The coffee here is roasted in-house, providing patrons with a remarkable experience that showcases distinct flavors.
