Back East Bagels

Let me start off by saying Holy Moly! Back east bagels really takes me back to my east coast roots. Caught this spot late morning so the selection of bagels was scarce which was also a sign of their popularity and quick service. The guy in the back was an absolute wizard whipping up bagel sandwiches with love and speed. A nice fresh squeezed orange juice to wash down the delicious, warm, and authentic bacon egg and cheese was the most ideal way I could’ve spent my Thursday morning. Only part I’m upset about is that I didn’t grab a buy 10 get 1 free card because I will be back! Beautiful decor, beautiful food, beautiful people. Make sure to get out to Back East if you want to feel like you’re at a local bagel shop in the Big Apple.

The first time I came to Back East Bagels, it was the early afternoon and the bagels had already sold out. I reasoned if the bagels sell out, they must be pretty dang good!!! I made an effort to return at an early time in the morning, and wow the end result did not disappoint. I got two bagels— a jalapeño with veggie spread and a plain with onion chive— and both were absolutely DELICIOUS. I will definitely be returning and telling other people about this great local spot.
