A classic bagel from a family-run London kitchen has been named Deliveroo's most popular takeaway order worldwide for 2025. The Classic from Papo's Bagels, featuring smoked salmon, cream cheese, red onion, tomatoes and capers, beat international chains to claim the top spot.
Founded by husband-and-wife duo Georgia Fenwick-Gomez and Gabe 'Papo' Gomez, the business began as a lockdown venture, delivering New York-style bagels from home. It now operates from a commercial kitchen and a bricks-and-mortar store in Dalston, where daily queues form.
Papo's Bagels said: 'Winning Deliveroo's top-trending dish of the year is honestly a crazy honour. We had a simple desire to bring a taste of home – New York City – to London, and The Classic is a classic for a reason. Thank you!'
Deliveroo noted the success 'highlights how authentic, locally-run establishments can capture the appetite and love of a nation for new and trending dishes'. The UK's second most popular order was the Dirty Meal Deal from Reading's 7Bone, followed by the Ultimate Combo from London's Crunch.
The list also included non-takeaway items: Jason's Sourdough bread from Morrisons in Manchester ranked fourth, and blueberries from Co-op in London came ninth. Last year's fourth-placed item, a whole cucumber from Waitrose, returned at 14th, while Warburtons crumpets from Asda Express in Leeds placed 16th.
Deliveroo's report, now in its ninth year, charts trends across nine global markets. Valentine's Day week was the busiest for jewellery orders, while fan sales peaked during a July heatwave. Jeff Wemyss, Deliveroo vice president of regional growth, said: 'This year's list clearly shows the strong connection between communities and their beloved independent restaurants.'
