By far the best bagel I've had in the South. Went in on the Sunday afternoon of Thanksgiving, no line, the salesgirl was very pleasant. They were out of a few bagel types but had my mainstay: sesame.
I picked up my week's breakfast, 1/2 dozen sesame with a half pound each of lox and scallion spread. I do like my schmear.
I waited until dinner to try them out. Totally worth the trek out to the middle of nowhere (apologies south towners, but this is a haul from home in SouthEnd).
I was totally surprised to see the other baked goods- I didn't buy any this time but can see some fresh coffee cake in my future. This is the real kind- 2 inch high slab of crumbs over cake. They also had rolls and lunch meat (Boar's Head!).
And I think I spotted a full smoked salmon. If they cut that to order, I just might pass out. If they have some who knows how to, I could die.
My bias is: I worked in a bagel shop in high school (shout out to Strathmore Bagels in Somerstown Shopping Center!) and this place has the same feel- family owned with good food. I don't think they have the Bubbe's from the retirement community across the way to tsk-tsk whenever they don't get exactly what they want (despite what they asked for, lol) to keep everyone in their toes, though.
