A new bagel spot has landed in the CBD with the opening of Smear’d Coffee Bagels, located on the ground floor of Onze along Kee Seng Street in Tanjong Pagar. After a recent soft launch, the café has rolled out its updated menu, focusing on hand-rolled bagels, hearty brunch plates and playful drinks, making it a convenient stop for quick lunches and casual meet-ups in the area.
The concept revolves around freshly made bagels and their signature “smears”, a nod to classic bagel culture where spreads are just as important as the bread itself. The menu includes options like the Breakfast Bagel-Your-Way and Hot Honey Chicken Bagel-Bao, alongside other fillings such as smoked salmon, mentaiko prawn and grilled cheese. For those looking for something more filling, the café also serves pasta dishes and grain bowls, giving it the feel of a small all-day brunch spot rather than just a takeaway counter.
Drinks follow the same playful approach, with choices ranging from espresso and cold brew to more unusual picks like Maple Butter Latte and fruit-matcha combinations. The compact blue-and-white space keeps things simple and casual, with limited seating suited for short stops rather than long stays. With its mix of handmade bagels, bold flavours and easy CBD location, Smear’d Coffee Bagels adds another quick-bite option to the growing café scene in Tanjong Pagar.
