Water boiled bagels are the only way to go and these bagels hit the mark. I would definitely go more often if there was more of a selection at a bit more competitive price.
We're from Santa Cruz and Scott actually used to be the baker at the Bagelry so I've had some pretty epic bagels. In addition at the Begalry they had so many different kinds of schmeers, my favorites being hummus and egg salad on garlic. It would also be cool if there was a nice rich sun-dried tomato schmeer.
