I was told that bagels in the USA are not really bagels at all and that I would agree after having a Fairmount Bagel. Well, I can't disagree. These bagels are the best I've ever tasted. Hot right out of the stone oven and both sweet and soft. Nothing like bagels I've had in the states. The sesame seeds added texture and flavors m. No need for cream cheese, unless that is your thing. Open 24/7 to accommodate your schedule.
