Bagel Hole INC

Still searching for my weekend bagel. I just moved into the neighborhood and this is the first place I've tried and I will be moving on. First off, the bagel was small. Secondly, on a Sunday morning with lots of people coming in and out I expected fresh bagels, but instead got a stale, overly chewy bagel hard bagel. Their veggie cream cheese was good.

Go to Connecticut Muffin instead (15st and Prospect) - way better bagels.…

go for the bagels, but nothing else.

Get your cream cheese and lox and other goodies at Fairway.…

This is the place for REAL bagels.... Someone complained there was no toaster, and not much lox. They missed the point. Target sells toasters. You can go to a fish store.

These bagels are not inflated inner tubes (take that, H&H) with no flavor or bad flavor. They are not soft rolls with a hole in them. They are BAGELS, the way G-d made them, right after Adam and the rest of the animals. Go there now. Toast it yourself, if you must toast it...…
