The bagel selection at East End Bagels is nothing short of impressive.

I was born and raised on Long Island but somehow ended up in Austin Texas. Whenever we manage to make it back home, there’s only two things I must have – and one of them is the breakfast sandwich at East End Bagel (pizza is the other, as if you had to ask) – if you’re not from the Island you just don’t understand exactly what a breakfast sandwich is supposed to be, and the one at the East End is the one I come home to.
