Without
you we're nothing
Ask smart Dublin food lovers what their absolutely-indispensable-couldn't-live-without-it-not-a-chance-thank-God-for-them! food addresses are, and you can bet your last burrito that Peaches and Domini Kemp's brilliant Itsabagel will be one of those icon addresses.
The Kemp girls have created one of the capital's vital addresses, and the good news for southside bagel fiends is that they have just opened another bagel emporium, in the Dun Laoghaire pavilion at Dun Laoghaire harbour.
There is also a salad bar, freshly squeezed juices, wines by the glass, and there will also be new gluten-free bagels for coeliacs. Meantime, the original Itsabagel in the Epicurean Food Mall continues to draw the biggest queue in town. Itsabagel: absolutely-indispensable-couldn't-live-without-it-not-a-chance-thank-God-for-them!
So we asked: What are the 5 best-selling bagels in Itsabagel?

marmalade, lettuce, tomato, mayo and butter)
2 Gourmet Veggie Bagel

3 Mountaineer

4 Delux with the Works Bagel
