Fancy Bagels Inc. — Restaurant in Southington

So, I like to wait to give a review to make sure that I have assessed everything properly and fairly.

Main and most important thing about any food place is the content itself, in this case, the bagels... They are A-1, top notch, New York style, excellent!

I'm from the Midwest but I believe that anybody who does not sell a Salt Bagel can't be considered a legit Bagel purveyor. Fancy Bagels sells s Salt Bagels, which to me are one of the greatest food Delights on Earth.

Also, the Everything bagel to me, is the Hallmark of a good bagel shop. Well, it is top-notch also. We've gotten lunch Bagel sandwiches there a few times, and the breakfast sandwiches, The BLT Bagel sandwiches, and the Nova Lox sandwich on an everything bagel, are scrumptious.

The people have seen me a few times and are helpful, especially because I know a very good customer of theirs. Having scanned some of the 1 and 2 Star reviews, I will say that some of the people on the phone can be a little bit short or moderately rude, which in a certain sense gives the place a little bit of character but I understand how that could put people off. It's also bc they are super-busy, and have not time for chit-chat.

All in all, this place is great and is a super find if you are looking for a real legit, New York style...

I moved to CT recently; there is no decent bagel place near me, and I’m sorry but DD is not where you go for bagels (having grown up near NYC, I know a good bagel :). I drove 45 minutes to check this place out because the reviews looked good. Bagels are PHENOMENAL. The quality is outstanding, they use quality ingredients, and the food is always consistent. The staff is friendly and courteous. I have had their breakfast sandwiches, the Tommy Special (omg), and the large list of flavored coffees is the cherry on the sundae. I’ve had the Coconut Almond Fudge, the Maple French Toast, the Pumpkin Spice, but my favorite is the Caramel Nut Biscotti. There is unflavored coffee as well. I drive 45 minutes from the shoreline to come here, that’s how good it is. And I come here a LOT - Love love love!!!!! One more thing - owner Jackie is so sweet and such a good person; she is always doing charitable things for the local community. Right now, there is a food donation board (see photo) and a donation box for veterans (I believe they are currently asking for 2024 calendars) . This is more than just a business to her - you can see how she cares for the community. I am proud to give my business...

I popped in one Thursday, I had to drop off my instrument at the excellent Music Shop next door. Bought two bags of yesterday’s bagels, froze most of them, and used them for my family’s breakfast or lunches throughout the next two weeks. Out of the oven, they were chewy and crunchy, just delicious. Great flour, excellent technique. The poppy seeds tasted like poppy seeds. Very satisfying. The bakers there know a thing or two about making bagels. The staff could not be nicer. I did not try their coffee, but I got a BLT when I picked up my instrument… outstanding! I had to talk myself out of eating the whole sandwich because I had meant to share it with my son; he agreed: best bagel BLT. Too bad Fancy bagels is a bit of a drive for us, but if we need anything from the Music Shop, we’ll go in the morning and get...
