The Hutong Cafe 160 Cremyll Street, Stonehouse, Plymouth PL1 3RB

"I moved away from Plymouth back in 2020 when this little puppy was being refurbished. I was sad I never got to say g'bye having visited many times before its closure, usually hungover or skiving from work. This sadness has been compounded by the fact that since their re-opening, the down-right NSFW bagel spam I see on their Instagram page has been filling me with envy for everyone that has a Plymouth post-code. Nothing in London could fill that void... ... Until this week. I finally was in Plymouth early enough that meant I could get my fill of bagels and OH. MY. DAYS!! I ask of you: if you are a Plymouthian bagel lover and aren't here on the daily, why?! The most legit bagels going: soft, chewy, dense enough to be satisfying, light enough to allow you to walk away from your table, rather than being carried. I had 2: the salt beef (obvs) and the halloumi + pepper jam and holy SMOKES has nothing ever quite tasted exactly how I wanted it to until now. They absolutely BANGED. The loaded hash browns were right up there too. Cheese sauce and spring onions on a hash brown, who knew?! These guys are linchpins of Plymothian indie culture. All top dudes and dudettes, friendly and kind and cool, all having stuck to their guns to created a product in "Hutong Cafe" that is unrivelled in the country, let alone the paucity of decent Brunch options that Plymouth offers It's the hip kinda joint you'd expect to see on the hippie trails in Southern California or Bali and yet here it is, smashing it up in Plymouth. I urge you to support this local stalwart, just as I will be by spending over £25 on bagel breakies every time I visit."

"We had the most amazing experience here on Wednesday, we had been recommended by a friend and we were not disappointed! My sister is coeliac and usually GF bagels aren't nice! But this one was superb. The server was really friendly and when we asked if they had GF available he asked if it was a preference or an allergy, and made a special note so that there would be no contamination. Great views. We parked easily on a side street. Great value for money. We will be back!"

"I initially thought it was on the pricey side but you do get what you pay for. The halloumi bagel I had was delicious and very generously filled. The coffee is very nice too. This was the first and won't be the last time I come here."

"This was a great experience!! Strategically located in the Stonehouse, just at the entrance of Royal William Yard and with beautiful ocean views. The place is very clean and cozy with a nice outdoor area to enjoy the ocean view. Very friendly and helpful staff. We went for breakfast and in the menu all the beagles were looking delicious so we decided to order whatever the chef suggests us as a surprise and we really got impressed, very tasty and unique mix of flavors. Very happy with our order!"
