If there’s ever a time for rainbow carbs, it’s now.
Just in time for Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, cult favourite Brooklyn Boy Bagels is once again unleashing its most iconic creation: the rainbow bagel. Bright, bold and joyfully extra, the limited-edition drop leans into everything Mardi Gras does best, colour, celebration and a little bit of nostalgia.
Leading the lineup is a new collaboration schmear that feels tailor-made for indulgent mornings (or post-parade refuelling). Think a technicolour bagel slathered with Golden Gaytime-inspired cream cheese, complete with honeycomb chunks and vanilla crumb. Add in party-ready packs of mini rainbow bagels designed for sharing, picnicking and parade prep, and Brooklyn Boy has essentially solved Mardi Gras catering.
Available across their Marrickville and Surry Hills stores, as well as online for planners and procrastinators alike — the range is playful, proudly festive and guaranteed to steal the spotlight at any spread.
