About Bagelmama
The smallest restaurant in the world? Probably not. The smallest in Kraków? Honestly, I have no idea. The smallest in Kazimierz? A close call between Bagelmama and U Vincenta in my humble opinion.
Regardless of Bagelmama's diminutive physical attributes, the important thing here is the food; whether it be a quick snack bagel or a more substantial Mexican inspired meal, Bagelmama simply cannot be outdone. Generous folk that they are, they even let you choose how hot (or not) you want your food, should you go down the Mexican route.
The bagels are the real treasures here though, with a range of both toppings and bagels themselves to keep everyone happy. My advice: anything with cream cheese. If you just can't get enough of the Bagelmama magic (or if both tables are already in use), you can buy frozen bagels to take away, and bulk buy the toppings to keep in your fridge at home- every day's a Bagelmama day!
With lots information for visitors to the city, in particular on other places in the Kazimierz area, and an unhurried, friendly atmosphere, you won't be disappointed. Unless you turn up on a Monday, because they're closed.

Try the John McEnroe sandwich. You cannot be serious? Yes, I am!

I rarely follow reviews blindly, but this time I definetely will! The place for someone who claims to know Kazimierz, and haven't been there yet :) Well spotted!

i've yet to try the mcenroe, but it certainly sounds like the sort of thing i'd give the umpire an earful to get my hands on

The story is that the guy who runs Bagelmama actually cooks each year for the NBC television crew at the French Open - and McEnroe is one of the commentators. Anyway, that's my story and I am sticking to it!
