The Bagel Shop in Homer
"Good food and good coffee. Whether you're going in for a simple bagel and shmear or for a bagel sandwich they have great options.

Their chipotle bacon shmear is super good, and I had a duck confit bagel sandwich that blew my freaking mind last summer." - Yelp user Amanda S.

"Neil's did not disappoint! We were able to order right after walking in, even though it was packed - everyone is so quick! We got assorted donuts and a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel.

Florida
The Tuckaway Bagel and Wafel Cafe in Fort Myers
"Tuckaway sits in a beach house with a tree-shaded patio. It's an ideal environment to have breakfast and coffee and enjoy the morning breeze from the gulf. Be early - it's well-known and will get busy; the interior is small and the line can easily reach the sidewalk by 9am. The bagel sandwiches make a nice quick eat. Made with plenty of eggs, great meat, and a soft toasted bagel." - Yelp user Ryan S.
Georgia

Kentucky
Please & Thank You in Louisville

Louisiana
Creole Bagelry in Slidell
"Best bagels I've ever had - without a doubt! Even after being frozen and traveling from Slidell to Detroit, MI they are STILL the most delicious bagels Ive ever tasted.

The seasonal pumpkin is fabulous as well." - Yelp user Mandie H.

This is the kind of place you will quickly become a regular of, talking with the owner as he cooks up your usual." - Yelp user Michelangelo M.
New York
Best Bagel & Coffee in New York City
"To stay alive in NYC restaurants need frequent patrons. That either comes from natural foot traffic or because there's a real damn good reason to go there. Best Bagel and Coffee is proof of that. The bagels have the perfect level of density, softness, and crispiness (if you get them toasted). When you order a bagel sandwich they DO NOT SKIMP on the works. They load it up with lox and CC - you are good to go on a full stomach for the entire day." - Yelp use Alex B.

I LOVE me a super chewy, boiled bagel. If it's not boiled it's just a roll with a hole and I don't want that. All the bagels I have had are super yummy but I love the everything & the whole grain." - Yelp user Cheri Y.

Texas
Iris Bagel and Coffee House in Arlington
"All their bagels are made in-house and are perfectly chewy and fresh. I'm in love with the Lox Special with tomato, sprouts, capers and onions with chive cream cheese.

Utah
Feldman's Deli in Salt Lake City

Washington
Whidbey Island Bagel Factory in Clinton
"The best bagel I've had! The bacon and cheddar bagels and the rosemary and chive were awesome, as were the sweet bagels we tried. Do yourself a favor and get a breakfast sandwich made with the bacon and cheddar. Oh, did I mention they make their own cream cheese?! Yeah they do that. And it's delicious. " - Yelp user Ashley E.
West Virginia
Royalicious Bagel Bakery in Charles Town
"From the lox cream cheese, to the eclairs, to the rugelach, to the cannoli, it's like Little Italy meets Borough Park. It's always busy in here, whether it's 6 am or 4 pm. I recommend this place to everyone. Try a bagel (take home a dozen!), take home a sandwich or pastry, or stop in for some coffee or cake. It's all fantastic." - Yelp user Matthew S.
Wisconsin
Lox Stock & Bagel in Green Bay
"Obviously this place has tons of bagels. They have a couple of options for breakfast. I got the bagel breakfast sandwich. As soon I split the sandwich in half, the cheese started oozing out. It was full of melty deliciousness. I scarfed it down and was ready for another." - Yelp user Scott C.
