Bagel bacon egg and cheese with a large cup of fresh brewed coffee is the only reason I'm up before 9am on a Saturday morning! Got to beat the long line that forms quickly at Owen's Bagel & Deli.
The walls are covered in "local artist" hand work, staff is friendly and the food literally will cure any hangover. Parking can be a little dicey but it's so worth it. Upon entering is a board to the left that lists all the types of bagels and spreads then grab a menu and wait in line.
Places like this are rare now that Southend is bringing in the new and pushing out the old. We need to support places like Owen's, Common Market, Phat Burrito that not only remind us of what makes charlotte so awesome, but what keeps up coming back for more.
