The new Rainbow Bagel will now be a staple on their menu, and owner Ian Brooke hopes the sale will allow them to “do something good” for the LGBT community while celebrating pride all year round.
He said: “I didn’t get involved with the pride this year and I regret that.
“This goes beyond just donating money to charity, it helps us foster inclusivity, visibility and community.”
“Everyone is welcome here at Brawsome Bagels.”

The Rainbow Bagel is made by combining a selection of brightly colored batters to form a ‘magnificent swirl of colour’.
Customers in the Partick shop can now buy either an empty bagel priced at £2 or a filled ‘Funfetti Rainbow Schmear’ at £3.50, with 50p from each sale being donated to LGBT Youth Scotland.
Ian, who grew up eating fresh bagels from Jewish bakeries in his hometown of Manchester, said: “I think the rainbow bagels are just really fun.”
“They are perfect for breakfast, lunch or as a snack.
“You can fill them hot or cold, savory or sweet, there’s so much you can do with them.”
Brawsome Bagels is located at 292 Dumbarton Road in Glasgow.
