My favorite food group is "bagel". We moved into the area and were in dire need of a good bagel place for Sunday mornings. Thanks, Yelp!
Our strategy is to buy two bagels + two coffees (best vanilla ice coffee EVER) for breakfast, and two bagel sandwiches to take home for lunch. For breakfast, I do lox on plain (hold the capers, please). My old go-to place would charge around $8.50, yet East Coast Bagel is a few bucks cheaper. So worth it! My go-to for the take-home is a tuna salad on cheese; so flavorful and very filling.
There are so many different types of bagels to choose from, and I can't wait to make my way through them all...eventually! The young gal who works the counters on Sunday mornings is so sweet, kind, and best of all...calm! There are ALWAYS customers, but they've got their technique down. Parking is very easy and I promise this place is worth the wait! -

I used to go here all the time in high school (5 years ago now whew lad) and I'd get the same pizza bagel with cream cheese from the same super friendly workers every time. The pizza bagel would be super flavorful and crisp on the outside but with a soft and easy to bite through interior, and absolutely filled to the brim with cream cheese.
I'm so happy to see that after all these years the pizza bagels are just as delicious and the exact same friendly faces are behind the counter!!
Pizza bagel and scored garlic (if you don't value the skin on the roof of your mouth) are the best bagels, toasted with cream cheese (untoasted if you're a heretic). Ask for easy on the cream cheese if you don't love cream cheese quite as much as us fanatics.
This place closes very early (3 pm), so be sure to plan accordingly! The beloved pizza bagel could be gone if you come too late -

I saw the reviews so decided to come on down. Was a bit intimidated by the fact that the line was out the door (literally 15 people ahead of me, at 9:10 am). Took over 15 minutes just to reach the counter to order.
However-- they had over 30 bagel types to choose from! All looked delicious, and I could see them making more, fresh, in the background. Paid $21 for 2, fairly customized bagels, 2 iced coffees, and a bottled juice. So I'd say good value. Can easily spend more than that at Starbucks for microwaved, mediocre crap.
Got the pizza bagel, as everyone seemed to recommend, and lox bagel.. friendly service, and food was amazing! So worth the wait (apparently they do online orders also, via apps, so may go that route next time). -

They have a great selection of bagels - plus theyre always fresh. My go-to is the lox salmon on the cheese and jalapeno bagel. I love coming here for a quick, affordable, and filling breakfast run!

My best friend and I ended up coming here early June to celebrate her belated birthday as well as to hang out.
We had gotten there about an hour after opening and a good number of their popular bagels were gone, but they had their Everything bagel still, which is my go to bagel anyways hehe I decided to do the Lox with it and we waited for our food to be prepped.
I didn't realize how popular this place was till the line behind us had grown and even one man left in frustration when he realized his favorite bagel was already bought out lolz
I definitely enjoyed the bagel when they were ready to eat. I loved the texture of the bagels and the taste of the lox with it.
