The Bakery — Restaurant in Rutland City

I've been searching for good bagels in the area for a while and was recently told this place had great bagels.

The dough was just the perfect level of saltiness and the cream cheese at the perfect consistency from the warm bagel. I wish I could buy some bagels from them frozen online or something. I will be stopping again next time I’m passing through...
