I had heard from a colleague at work about Cleveland Bagel Company's bagels and how they were, "better than New York City bagels." Naturally, I laughed at this colleague and thought he was a buffoon for even thinking such a thing. So, a few weeks later I happened to be up early on a Saturday morning and made the trek up to their storefront (located across from The Harp.)
When I arrived was around 8:15am; upon walking in I found most bagel bins to be empty and only a few poppyseed bagels left. I don't like poppyseed bagels so I asked them what was going on with the rest and when they'd have more. To my surprise I found out that they only stay open as long as they have bagels to sell. Once they sell out, they close up shop and get going for the next day.
I ordered a poppyseed bagel even though I don't like them as I was curious as to what was up with these bagels and can tell you that they are in fact better than New York City bagels. I can't even believe I'm saying that, but it's true. You all need to do what you can to get over there to get some of these bagels. They're unbelievable. I can't explain with words exactly why they're so amazing, but trust me, you will love yourself for eating these bagels. Coffee isn't that great, but it doesn't matter. GET THESE BAGELS?!
