I like bagels with more of a chew. These are softer than I prefer. Also, specialty cream cheese doesn’t have enough stuff in it to make it taste like the featured ingredient. Apso, the guy in front of me had an everything bagel. Mine was cut with the same knife (please wipe the knife in between, or the next bagel tastes like the toppings on the prior one.) I can’t stand garlic on my salt bagel. Last-bottom half of the bagel had zero flavor.
Husband got a bacon egg and cheese bagel. Bagel was a good consistency for a sandwich but they sort of did the cardinal sins of bagel sandwiches. They used steamed eggs instead of fresh cooked eggs.

Every time we visit the city we look for bagel places in the burbs. So we eat a lot of bagels. Overall the food here is a solid B. If I lived in the community we would stop here for bagels on Sundays if there weren’t other bagel...

Whether just getting a fast and cheap bagel for your morning or a dozen for your friends, this big apple bagels is one that I see myself coming to for many years...

Today, I stopped by on my break at work to satiate the wife's curiosity of the place. When you walk in it's a comfortable atmosphere where you want to take in the sunrise with a cup of coffee and a good book. It's clean and the person who took my order was a pleasant woman with a smile and speedy hands putting together a bagel sandwich so good I am already planning my return and was inspired to write this review. If you haven't treated yourself to this wonderful breakfast spot yet, show yourself a little love and stop by for one of the most delicious fresh bagels I have ever tasted.
P.s. they have 4...
