    Huge fluffy bagel made water style just like at home in NY! Worth the trip OTP if you are coming from the city. Went with the egg whites bacon cheddar on a salt, awesome sandwich!

    It's the only place in the entire Atlanta area offering hand-rolled, kettle-boiled bagels, and earns Kessler's respect as "the city's best"—even if they do require a bit of a hike to enjoy. Read more

    All of the food is homemade fresh. Unlike so many restaurants that hide the fact that they do not serve fresh food by covering everything with spices, everything at is fresh like your mom served you.

    Best bagels in town. Bring your bank account you will need it. Prices are off the charts. So much that I don’t think I will return to this bagel place. ☹️

    So many choices!! The olive pimento spread was delicious. I also tried the chocolate chip spread and it wasn't too sweet :) I wish it was closer so I could go all the time!!

    I have yet to find anything on the menu that isn't excellent! Everything is homemade and fresh. When you become a regular, it is like Cheers. There are so many regulars along with lots of new friends

    Best bagels in the south no question. Try one of the amazing cream cheeses. I prefer the scallion cream cheese but they also have Kit Kat cream cheese, whaaaat?

    These two kids looking at the cream cheese selection was so cute this morning. I think they were torn between Kit Cat and Chocolate Chip!

    A generous amount of eggs are baked unfolded in a skillet in the oven, resulting in a towering, creamy and fluffy creation that's more like a frittata than the boring dry disk served elsewhere. Read more

    It’s not really New York but the bagels are some of the best food just south of the Pine Barrens that will will ever put in your mouth. TIP: After you eat, order a bag to go! Read more

    Try the flagel - a flattened bagel (so there is more crust and less dough).

    The cinnamon raisin walnut spread was delish! Salt bagel was good, after scraping off half the salt (a little too salty for my taste buds).
