Lived in the NYC area for 15 years, got used to a certain standard of bagels. The best I'd found in PHX since moving here in 2012 was Scott's Generations on 7th St. They were decent bagels, but not memorable. Just bought my first dozen at Bagel Man. Excellent, excellent. As good as my favorite place back east. They were still warm, as they should be. The scallion cream cheese I bought was also wonderful. So glad to have found this place. I'll be back, even though it's a 20 minute drive for me.
