We just had a great bagel place open near us in Cockeysville. Goldberg's. They are as good as bagels I have had in NY. I pick them up before 2pm on Friday. A regular Saturday treat now.

The House of Bagels mini-chain in the San Francisco Bay area makes decent real bagels, even if most of the owners are of Asian origin.
If you happen to be in Palo Alto, California, try Izzy's Brooklyn Bagels on California Avenue. Boiled, kosher, yet open Saturday (presumably with non-Jewish bakers). The main problem with Izzy's is it tends to close at 2 or 3 pm. After having a bagel at Izzy's, to round off the experience, walk three blocks down California Ave to the hole-in-the-wall Cho's Mandarin Dimsum, kosher bagels followed by pork pot stickers! As to those who think Noah's Bagels are edible, on behalf of bagel makers everywhere, I apologize. |
A few weeks ago, I had a toasted everything bagel, lox, cream cheese, onion, tomato, and capers at Olde World Bagels in Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Across the street from a decent Doubletree hotel, btw).
This place is pretty far from NYC ... but damn, it was legit. If you ever find yourself out there, it's worth a drive to this place. http://www.oldeworldbagel.com/ |

Have you tried BB's Bagels, Alpharetta, Ga? It is near you and listed on the USA Today list as the 2nd best bagels outside of New York.

An unapologetic plug to make people yearn to make far superior bagels at home ....... I give you my absolute word that you will never buy a bagel out that is as good as a home-baked bagel .... once you get the technique, then you will be hooked. The Bagel yearnings will creep up and get you ... particularly late at night. Have you ever smelled baking bagels in your own kitchen late at night......?
This was the last patch cooked in the pizza oven. Soft tops, chewy sweet middles and lovely pert bottoms! They must all be different shapes and some charred. Process with a couple of batches of finished bagels just before scoffing. http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/t...7375AC8C9B.jpg http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/t...81C82919DF.jpg http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/t...85DE182FAD.jpg http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/t...8CA8091131.jpg [IMG] http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/t...3E055E7689.jpg http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/t...6C9CA1815E.jpg |

I cannot compare them to real NY bagels, but I think the best in the Chicago area are from:
New York Bagel and Bialy 4714 W. Touhy Lincolnwood, IL I think they have another location on Dempster in Skokie, but I don't see an address. I have found that their traditional bagels are the best -- slightly hard outside, but dense & chewy inside. But I would avoid the trendy yuppie ones that they also sell. They definitely use the real cooking method as you can see the vats for boiling and the ovens for baking. No steam injection ovens that create the nasty "round bread with a hole in the middle" type of bagel. I grew up in Lincolnwood and agree. I now live further north and whenever I drive up Edens I'll stop. I always ask if they have any hot, when available they are best ever anywhere. |

Today, there are several places where you can get acceptable bagels but the best are at Tal Bagels in Tel Aviv. They also have great shmears to put on them, including excellent chopped liver. Real bagels are still hard to find here (outside of Tal's) but a double miracle happened in the last month. The first part is that pastrami, as New Yorkers know it, became available in supermarkets. The second part is that a few days ago Jewish rye bread appeared on the market (although, to date, I know of only one supermarket in my area that has it). Today, for the first time, I was able to have pastrami on rye in Israel! Alas, the closest thing that I can find to Deli mustard is French's Spicy Brown, but after 36 years of living here without pastrami on rye I am not about to complain about the mustard. (Oddly enough, Hebrew National products are not sold in the Hebrew nation.) |
Ok well then a nice gift to the relatives in Israel might be to bring some nice frozen real rye bread and bagels. There of course are none here in Oregon but we import ours from Los Angeles!

Hi all,
It is very interesting to see how they make a bagels. It's called behind the scene. I watch it all. They have everything, plain, onions, garlic, poppy, sesame, and whole wheat. You will like it. Here's a video: Enjoy! |

As mentioned in the above post from 2006, Israel had no bagels until about 10 years ago. (It did have very large, round, breads with a hole in the middle but it in no other way resembled a bagel).

Here's a video: https://youtu.be/g_t97SW0Yug Enjoy! Guess what after watching though ⁉️ Had bagel craving - so eventually caved in & wonder where I could get similar & here are 2 of 3 😉 Success shown below from Two Men Bagel House The walnut and cream cheese bagel was consumed before I remembered to take a photo . Below are halves of other 2 saved for the following day - was surprisingly just as delicious 😋 https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...da0ef25b7.jpeg “ Lamb of God “ - with lamb 🙄 & “ Mademoiselle “ corned beef & honey baked ham |
