Beigelių Krautuvėlė on Pylimo bakes Litvak Jewish bagels, bialys, challah for Sabbath and teyglakh on-site since 2016, run by the Lithuanian Jewish Community.
Tip: Sells out by late afternoon. The most historically grounded bagel in the Baltic, simply.
Address: Pylimo g. 4, Vilnius
Halės Bistro inside the main hall of the 1906 market makes fresh bagels, vegan plates and quick lunch trays alongside the produce stalls and butcher counters.

Worth the queue: Fresh bagel
Beigeliai on Vilniaus toasts bagels and bialys over a wood-fired oven, with cream-cheese spreads and a small soup menu for the daily Naujamiestis lunch.
