| - I'm a pretty big stickler for bagels: I like them done a specific way, and I don't accept mediocrity as an excuse in my quest for the perfect bagel. That said, walking into Odelay bagels on a Thursday afternoon, I wasn't holding high expectations. But boy was I wrong: after being greeted by an extremely friendly woman as the sole barista/cashier in the store, I ordered an ice coffee and an onion bagel with cream cheese and lox.
Aside from the inviting atmosphere of the place, I really enjoyed how fresh everything tasted. Even though the coffee was great, the best part was the bagel (as it should be in a bagel store). Slightly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside is the perfect texture for me. Add that with light, clearly fresh plain cream cheese and tasty lox, this was an awesome bagel experience. I've had the supposed "best" bagels from NYC, Cleveland and D.C., and this bagel place in the middle of Arizona is up there with them
