Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Where is the best place to get good bagels? Is Einstein's the only game in town? I don't want rollgels (those puffy rings that are not boiled), but the real thing.

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Good bagels..I haven't had a good bagel since I left Brooklyn.. :(
My prayers would be answered if TV had good bagels.. :dontknow:

I'm With You...Oh, For A Good "Boiled & Baked" Bagel
 

And how about some good belly lox and some homemade garlic and herb cream cheese to spread on first? Then the lox and thin-sliced onion, tomato and cucumber.

Wow! You have my mouth watering and it's not even breakfast.

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Now my mouth is watering!!! ;D

donna - dont get jealous now... Monday I'll be commuting back down to midtown Manhattan (on the job from Buffalo area).. first order of biz is to order a NYC bagel for breakfast...

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Ripwho..Please have a Pastrami for me ( a real Pastrami) and a knish!! :bigthumbsup:

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Now I know how we will pay for our house. I will stop at Carnegie Deli in NYC or Zabar's and buy them out. Then I will open a Kiosk, centrally located in TV and sell all of these wonderful items.

That is, if we don't eat them ourselves.

There is an excellent Bagel Shop in Ocala right off of 200 & 17th. It's in the same shopping center as a Payless Shoe Store and Kmart and a CC's Pizzza. They're made there and they are authentic. It's on the way to Paddock Mall. Totally worth the drive.

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Hi, I have had bagels from this shop. They are good, not as good as NYC ones, but quite good. Have also had them frozen and they tasted good.

We lived in NJ for about 7 years and got used to "great" bagels ... Panera's are not bad and their sandwiches are pretty good.

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Toojays!!!

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Are Toojay's bagels good? Do they sell them by the dozen or only as part of sandwiches?

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Can't beat the Asiago Bagels at Panera
but did someone mention an Einsteins?? I do love their goodies

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

As a former brooklyite, i can tell you that it is all about the water.
if the crummy Florida water is filtered before they make the dough the bagel will be great.
guaranteed.
I used to own a pizzeria on the pompano/ft lauderdale border, filtered the water had great pizza. So I am in the know of what i speak.

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

I too like the bagels at Panera. Welcome back loveinit, where ya been?

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

I love the food in Panera, except you would think they would have some decent coffee.

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

I love Panera's bagels...try it...you'll love it!

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

There are only a couple of places that come to mind for good NY Bagels available in Florida, WWW.tastybagels.com, or www.bagelboss.com made in NY and shipped anywhere in the U.S.

LOL, you want a good NY bagel, go to NY... 8)

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Kahuna & Gwen,

What I wouldnt give for a good N.Y. or Chicago bagel! Everything else tastes like cardboard. Wish someone in Florida would learn how to make a great bagel. >:(Dont get me started!

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Do you think that we could convince diskman to come down and open another shop?

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Hi Nonie,

If the bagel man can find a way to keep bagels fresh we will bring you some the next time we fly down. Hopefully they will be made that day.

What kind do you like?

I am a Southerner that went Yankee for 25 years and am back to a Southerner.

When I went to my first "breakfast rolls" desk in NJ, they had "dinner" rolls and bagels with butter and cream cheese. In the south we had cinnamon buns and donuts. I had my first bagel. Hard as a rock and tough to chew. As time went by I found out that a fresh bagel and a day old bagel were the same. Hard as a rock and tough to chew.

I now get my bagels at Publix and Albertsons. Both are good if sliced and toasted and covered in butter and jelly.

The rye and raisin at Publix and Albertsons and the Jalapeno at Albertsons are the best. The wife likes the everything bagel.

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

HB,

Thankyou for your kind offer!

Plain or egg pleeeeease! ;D

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

All we know is Lender's bagels. No Jewish delis around?

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Earlier in this thread someone mentioned Toojays for bagels but no one commented whether they'd ever tried them. Since everything at Toojays is excellent, I'd be willing to bet Toojays has excellent bagels as well.

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Not only are their bagels great but the rye bread is also superb.

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Read where we're getting a bakery by The Starbucks in front of Walmart so maybe we'll get some good bagels there.

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Nonie, we are driving down this time. They definitely will not make it. Sorry.

HB

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Yes, that's great. I understand they will make New York style bagels every day. We can't wait.

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Are any of you aware that, a plain bagel with nothing on it is 375 calories! :o

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

I have it on good authority that a bagel shop is going to take over Juan Mexicali's location in Colony Plaza. Let's hope it's New York style bagels not California style bagels.

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Great bagels at the bakery on CR466 near Walmart/Starbucks. Bagels are boiled then baked on a stone deck oven New York style.

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

Thanks Lesley :bigthumbsup: Cant wait to try them. Do they have different variety's Like the everything bagel, the onion bagel etc? My search is over!! ;D

Bagels in place of Juan's Mexicali nad CiCis is about open.
 

Looks like Skip was correct. Juan's still have a few "closed for the summer" signs in the window but there is also a hand scribbled big sign that says or implies that it is being replaced or at supplemented with a Bagels, Bagels, and More Bagels.

Also CiCi's Pizza across the parking lot is almost open.

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

the new Hometown Bakery has GREAT bagels!!!! They boil them and then bake them! We went last weekend and they were SO good!!! Right out of the oven!!! So they are not from NY but they are from Jersey (the owners not the bagels...and perhaps the recipe) and they are GREAT!!!!

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

They are opening a bagel and sandwich shop in Colony. It is supposed to open soon I believe. 8)

Re: Good Bagels Anywhere?
 

How about some good "German" sweet rolls and some homemade donuts??

As if I needed either one....
