I finally tried Barry Bagels out of necessity and curiosity, as my local Bruegger's joint here in North Olmsted suddenly and unexpectedly (I hate when they do that) closed overnight, and I was having withdrawal symptoms! I'm a huge bagel maven with carb cravings (yo yo YO!), so I drove a bit out of my way to try this place, having only heard about it a few days before. I've been patronizing both Einstein's and Bruegger's over the decades, so I just had to try BB to compare. All in all, I really like BB, and their authentic New York style bagels taste excellent. The spinach-feta bagel is great, and i've always been a fan of asiago bagels (although I wish BB would melt some asiago cheese on top of the bagel, like Einstein's and Bruegger's do). The coffee and sides were good too. I am hoping that BB scouts a new location here in North Olmsted, as there is now a glaring empty black hole in town where a bagel oasis once was!
