| - After hearing so many fantastic things about Fairmount Bagel, I felt obligated to try it out. So, my friends and I stopped by Fairmount to grab a bagel or two or a dozen (depending on how we liked them) before heading back to the US.
When you walk by the store, you'll see stacked towers of red crates filled with bagels (or empty ones which I'm thinking are representative of crates of bagels sold), which appear ready to be shipped for sale somewhere.. so, I'm guessing this is the place where they make the bagels? Anyway, the store inside is actually pretty tiny. The different types of bagels are listed above the ladies standing behind the glass counter. And options for purchasing Philly cream cheese are displayed on the glass case to your right.
Since I'm not a huge bagel fan, I ordered one to try. I got the sesame bagel and an individual package of cream cheese. At first, I thought it was kind of hard to break into and tough... however, after a couple of bites, I thought the texture reminded of a pretzel from like Auntie Annie's Pretzel. However, that's not to say that I don't like Fairmount and reducing its taste value to your mall pretzel treat, I still enjoyed Fairmount's bagel.. most definitely. I think all the sesame seeds made it extra aromatic and flavorful otherwise, it might have been a little boring.
