I assumed everyone already knew about this place since they’ve been open for a while now but recently I realized that wasn’t the case. There is a little bagel shop in Kuwait City next to Solo Pizza called While I’m Baked. If you head there in the morning before they sell out, you can get some of the best bagel sandwiches in Kuwait. I always order either their Turkey Avo Boi or the Kramer, and now while I’m typing this out I’m craving a sandwich so I’ll probably pick one up on my way into work this morning.
If you want to check them out, here is their location on Google Maps and they’re on Instagram @whileimbaked

It’s the best local NY experience.
it’s worth mentioning that they’re open till 2pm, and they’re closed on Sundays.
for anyone not sure what to get, trust me on this:
get the Kramer (which is make your own) and have it this way:
everything bagel, extra toasted
plain creme cheese
salted cucumbers
roasted cherry tomatoes
zaatar
or for a sweet craving: get the PBJ Blueberry, also extra toasted
hmmm i should add cucumbers to my creme cheese kramer
Actually, they are located right next to Solo Tacos.
They are located next to multiple restaurants with the most popular one being Solo Pizza…
Bagels are so overrrated.
whats with your negative comments today. they’re just bagels, relax.
I actually had a shitty breakfast lol
These guys are the best for doing something they seem passionate about unlike most other restaurants who just open hungry for money and want to make something so big with no plan
These guys did it the right and normal way of starting simple and testing the bagel market in Kuwait
I hope they get to trolley soon so it’s more convient for everyone
The title really confused me, you should’ve wrote it as, Get your bagels from “While I’m Baked”
yeah but would also have been a lot less interesting
Went there once, never going back. They try way too hard to be a NYC deli.
Another thing I didn’t appreciate is that the Arabic lady there kept insisting on speaking to me in English while I was trying to speak to her in Arabic.
I have no idea why. I’m Arab, I speak Arabic to Arabs.
I know she speaks Arabic fluently because her conversation with the Khaleeji customer next to me was entirely in Arabic.
So you hate the place because you were spoken to in English? Yeah that makes total sense…
hahaha what a dummy !
No, I hated the food. I’ve had way better bagels at 7-Elevens.
The language thing was just an inconvenience.
Khaled – no one likes a lackey.
I noticed how much Kuwaiti youth base their local restaurants and eateries on NYC concepts like the bagels, New York style Pizza, rueben sandwiches, and babkas (also Jewish from NYC). All of these have been trending and I’m sure we’ll be seeing more ideas coming out of NYC.
I also noticed ready-to-go/eat sandwich corners booming, Pret-a-manger another example. Many more to come for sure, it’s just too bad we dont have the right convenient pedestrian zones and streets to comfortably go to them and enjoy whilst out for a walk for instance.
Thank god for my fellow Jews for globally marketing the bagel #shalom
No one likes Zionists either.
Jews not zionists. Big difference. I dont like zionists either. Put schmear on that bagel
Somebody got way too excited over a Seinfeld marathon.
