Bagel Bakery

Various locations, thebagelbakery.com

People have serious opinions about bagels. “This one’s too bready,” “That one’s too hard.” “This one is a little chintzy on the cream cheese.” Bagel Bakery seems to be the Goldilocks of bagels. With a good bit of doughy lightness and just the right amount of chew they hit all the right notes. While their cream cheese selection is ample, it’s also worth taking a gander at their sandwich offerings that run the gamut from omelettes served on a bagel to deli sandwiches to bagel dogs.
