Whole Grains Bakery purchased at Berkeley Bowl West, 4 / $3.99.
Pros: shape and color are right. Not overpriced.
Cons: taste and texture are wrong.
Won’t buy again.

This is exciting to me: finally once again a retail source for Baron Bagels.

The house-smoked salmon at Bageltopia is fantastic. The carrot vegan substitute is worth a try.

I tried Boichik in SF a few days ago. Didn’t realize it was such a popular chain. I was satisfied. It tasted like a legit NY bagel to me – dense and malty.
I don’t hate Boichik but there are bagels I like just as much or better that don’t cost $3 each.
Bageltopia - plain toasted with black garlic cream cheese and strawberry preserves. Dessert around noon

A friend of mine recently discovered Poppy Bagels, and is a big fan (especially with toppings/as a sandwich). Having tried one, I think they’re fine taste-wise and excellent texturally.
