“London Bagel Museum†is a bagel specialty store newly opened by the owners of “Cafe High West†and “Cafe Layered,†which are popular bakery cafes. The signature menu is “Jambon Butter Sandwich,†which is made by putting butter and ham between sesame bagels. The combination of salty ham and savory butter in a chewy bagel brings an addictive sweet and salty flavor.

“Beyond Moon†means imagining the space beyond the door and hoping to come to the abstract world beyond the moon. The signature menu is “Well done toast,†made by paying homage to French toast as steak. Using aged dough, sweetness penetrates deep into the bread.
