    Heading for the East Cost of the US for a month soon, will go out of my way the try some (good bagels) and report back.

    Nope! ain't tryin scrapple again, will leave it for them that are prepared to eat that stuff.
    If you don't like em, no point eating em! No need for a Yelta stamp of approval to enjoy myself a good bagel!

    But, one place I enjoyed was Leo's Bagels, in lower Manhattan (3 Hanover Square, New York) if you're in the vicinity of Wall St. They also sold me the tastiest filter coffee I had in the US, reminded me of a pour-over (once it cooled a bit!)

      I remember sitting outside a cafe in DC on a chilli Nov morning , hot coffee, ultra fresh sesame seed bagel with Philly cheese spread....mmmm,....mmmmmm.

      US have the best bagels, probably better on the east coast and probably Montreal!(that was for you danyboy)

      The thought of a caffeinated bagel,,,,NO THANKS! Sounds a little too incestuous!

        The thought of an Einstein bros bagel is like the thought of a Starbucks mocha frappuchino

          There are some great bagel places in Melbourne. I have found some acceptable ones at a market here in Marrickville; otherwise Sydney cafe offerings have been diabolical.

          A local cafe (oddly named "coffee, tea & me") specialises in bagels with a dizzying array of toppings. The bagels themselves look OK but I haven't tried them yet as traditional schmears are conspicuously absent. 🤔

          Oh, my dad hates them too 😂

            I just found out that Einstein Bros is a chain restaurant and are majority owned by the growing empire that is JAB. So they are to quality bagels what Dominoes is to quality pizza, Taco Bell to quality Tex-Mex, or Dunkin Donuts to quality coffee.

              Yep hence to reference to Starbucks! Anyone walking into Einstein Bros will get that vibe immediately. It's website might say "local" but it certainly doesn't feel authentic. Not that I've actually eaten a bagel there...

                You can buy the einstein bros bagels at costco. Cut them in half and toast them and they are a good breakfast. Honey and cinnamon go well

                I take my caffeine on the side

                      If you find yourself in Canberra on a Sunday head down to the Kingston Bus Stop Markets (Old Bus Depot Markets). The stallholder that has all the fresh bread/pastries also bakes really nice bagels - The blueberry ones are great and jalapeno/cheese are an excellent savory option. No Caffeine bagels though :-(
