Flip Up!, which is very popular for its chewy and savory bagels, is famous as the place where you can enjoy the most delicious bagels in Kyoto. It is located near Karasuma Oike Station and the Kyoto International Manga Museum. The bagels here are known for their chewy texture, and a major feature is that they are softer and have a wider variety of flavors than other bagels. Along with the bagels, there is a heart-shaped bread, and we recommend you to try the heart bread filled with cranberries.
