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

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

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.

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

[nONIE]

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

[Muncle]

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.

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!!!!

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

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

As if I needed either one....

Diskman;

If you have your dog lick out the center of the bagel it reduces the calories by almost 100.

I prefer to scoop out all the excess dough in the middle with a fork and then load it with
cream cheese.

Good Luck!

Hey Graciegirl

Have you tried YALAHA BAKERY ?
They sell some stuff out of the Orange Barn on 441 and their store is on hwy 48 in Yalaha on the way to Howie in the Hills.
They have recently sold to a new owner but I believe it is supposed to stay the same.

HOWEVER, I have a couple feelings about bakery in general.
Since most bakers are no longer using oils with TRANS-FATS, I think that's where most of the good taste and texture went.
And there's a part time resident known as Tom-the-Baker that hangs out at the Chula Pool when he's here. He is a semi-retired bread baker from Long Island and he has imparted to me that good doe is in the water. (and I don't think FL has what it takes.).

The bagels at Old Towne Bakehouse on 466 near Walmart are the best in The Villages. They are boiled and baked the proper way, the nearest you can get to a New York bagel. You can get about 6 different flavours. The owner told me they do a deal on a Bakers Dozen every Friday.

Gracie, we're in luck. They're opening up a Bagels n' Things (could have the name wrong!) near us in The Colony Plaza. :bigthumbsup:

Name I heard was "M. J. Bagel Buzz"!

Go figure.
