Bagel Yard has opened in Dubai, bringing Montreal-style bagels to the UAE. The café creates its own bagels daily, and reflects the brand’s ‘fresh and natural’ philosophy.
H2R Design, which has offices in Dubai and London, was commissioned to design the branch concept. It developed a contemporary space with natural lighting, and featuring extensive greenery to add contrast and texture. Warm, wooden textures have been integrated into floor and furniture panelling, while industrial metallic elements are used for counter tabletops.
Visitors are greeted with the smell of freshly-baked bagels, which are displayed by hanging on a pegboard wall to create an instagrammable menu board. A bagel bar offers seats with a view of the bakers and baristas behind the counter, while further table seating is able available.
“We were briefed with the task of creating a cozy and home-like destination for customers to fall in love with. Given the intricate detail that is put into the bagel-making process, we wanted to represent this delicacy within the design of the space. By creating a fresh, clean and aesthetically appealing interior layout, we have proudly created the new home for Montreal’s famous home-made bagels in the city of Dubai”, said the agency in a statement.
