Two Friends, One Hole in the Wall

The business was founded in 2014 by Jereborne Lam and Jerome Lam. In a 2022 HungryGoWhere interview, the pair said they met at Singapore Management University around 2012 or 2013. Jerome is a professional chef, and Jereborne used to fly for Singapore Airlines before the two opened their first store at Icon Village in Tanjong Pagar.

The brand still tells that story on its homepage. Most people, it says, remember Two Men as that unassuming little hole-in-the-wall bagel shop with queues so long they started forming friendships. Today it describes a new generation of bakers, baristas and believers carrying on the idea, under the line "made the hard way, still".

From One Shop to Five

Tanjong Pagar is no longer the only address. The official locations page lists Novena at Royal Square, 103 Irrawaddy Road, a Holland Village shop on Lorong Liput, a Joo Chiat shop at 465 Joo Chiat Road, and a newer outlet at Punggol Digital District, 98 Punggol Way. Eatbook reported in April 2026 that the Punggol branch was set to open by May, and it now appears on the official list with its own hours.

All five share one phone number and almost the same hours: 8am to 3.30pm daily, with Punggol staying open until 4pm. The Tanjong Pagar shop has its own exclusive sandwich, which is a good reason to make the original the one you visit first.

Reading the Bagel Board

The base bagel comes in plain, sesame, all-sorts, onion and garlic, cheddar and jalapeño, and blueberry, all at S$4. Schmears are added by the bagel or sold by the 300g tub: whipped cream cheese is S$2 or S$8, scallion S$3 or S$10, and cinnamon roll S$4 or S$12. A tub of scallion cream cheese is the easiest souvenir for anyone who toasts bagels at home.

The sandwiches carry the bigger prices. Luxe stacks smoked salmon, scallion cream cheese, tomato, pickled cucumber, red onion and capers with lemon vinaigrette at S$18, and the same S$18 buys Popeye's Fav., which pairs smoked salmon with creamed spinach, dill pickled onion and a sunny egg. The 2BAC, with house bacon, buttermilk scrambled eggs, double cheddar and smoked chipotle ketchup, is S$15.

The Tanjong Pagar Exclusive and the Big Spender

Only the original shop makes the Moho Jojo, a pressed bagel with roasted mojo pork belly, cheddar, Emmental, schug and apple mostarda, at S$18. The most expensive item is The Jurassic Project at S$25, which the menu tags as Richie Rich: short rib pastrami, chorizo, mustard green relish and mustard slaw.

For something local, the Kayago at S$15 layers smoked chicken ham and chicken floss with the shop's own kaya, smoked Kewpie mayonnaise and buttermilk scrambled eggs. Mars Yard, with house roast beef, jalapeño relish and horseradish cream, is S$19, and the Pizza Hart, marked kids friendly, is a cheese-heavy S$17 bagel with halloumi, a mozzarella stick and hashbrown.

Vegetarian Swaps, Pork and Sides

The menu makes one generous promise: all proteins can be replaced with falafel or sautéed wild mushrooms at no additional cost. That turns most of the board into a vegetarian option without hunting for a separate menu. Superbowls with falafel or chicken are S$15 for anyone skipping bread.

Several items are tagged pork, and Eatbook notes the brand is not halal-certified, so check the tags if that matters to your group. House sides, including skin-on fries, onion rings and mozzarella sticks, are S$8 each, and the Happiest Meal add-ons cost S$5, S$7 or S$8 depending on how much you want with your sandwich.

Beating the Lunch Crush

The hours are short, and that shapes the strategy. The kitchen stops taking orders at 3.15pm, so there is no late-afternoon fallback, and the shop sits among office towers, which makes the weekday noon hour the obvious pressure point. Ordering at opening time or between 2pm and the last order avoids that window, and the shop's own story about queues long enough to form friendships is a fair warning for weekends.

There is also a way to skip waiting in person. The official ordering site offers 10% off when you pick up in store, and delivery runs through GrabFood and Oddle, with free delivery on orders of S$60 or more using the code on the site. For groups of ten or more, the build-your-own bagel platter starts from S$50.

Around Icon Village

Icon Village sits on Enggor Street, about 270 metres from Tanjong Pagar MRT on the East-West Line, and close to Tanjong Pagar Centre. Maxwell Food Centre is roughly 640 metres north, which makes an easy pairing if half your group wants bagels and the other half wants chicken rice.

From Maxwell, the shophouse streets of Tanjong Pagar and the Duxton Hill area are a short walk away, and they are good for an unhurried loop after an early lunch, with old shophouse terraces, small cafés and the green slopes of Duxton Plain Park along the way. Holland Village and Joo Chiat outlets are better options if you live on those sides of the island, but the original counter is the one with the exclusive sandwich.
