After the Scottsdale location decided that smoothies sold better than bagels I feared that this place would switch over as well. Luckily bagels must do well in North Central Phoenix, so it has remained open. The bagels here are made in the traditional manner of being boiled and this allows them to have the correct taste of having a light crust with chewy interior. They are far better than anything you can find at Einstein's or the grocery store. For my money, Everything Bagels and Chompie's make the only decent bagel in Phoenix, but the nearest Chompie's is all the way at PV Mall.
Also, Everything Bagels has my favorite salt bagels plus a large selection of other types.
If you're in the mood for a bagel, this is the place to go!
