I was craving bagels and my roommate recommended St Viateur. I didn't realize there are different "types" of bagels, so I was expecting the NYC bagel. As so many yelpers pointed out before me, it is not like the NYC bagel at all. It is also on the sweeter side, maybe slightly too sweet for my taste for bagels, but still pretty good especially since we got them fresh out of the oven. I only tried the sesame bagels as I'm not a huge fan of the poppey seeds. My roommate got the smaller, harder sweet bagels and she liked them. Bottom line, not my favorite bagels ever, but definitely enough to satisfy my bagel craving and worth the drive. I will go back for more.
