My mom is in town and was jonesing for a good bagel. I read the good reviews for El Bagel and decided to give it a try. The locale itself is very small. They have a counter to order from and counter against the window with 3-4 stools to sit and dine. They also seem to have some basic seating outside (think wooden boxes/benches and a couple of umbrellas). We weren’t able to sit outside because it was pouring but I’m sure on a sunny day it would have been suitable seating to enjoy a meal.

Read moreI went to El Bagel, in Coconut Grove. I had the “EB Original” on a salt bagel. It was very good! Everything was great, except the jalapeño (in my opinion).
