OT: Best Bagel in CT

[uconnphil2016]

tough to find truly great ones, especially further from NYC. I like Steve’s in Manchester. Bagel Delight in Newtown is good. Never was a fan of Goldbergs

 

[August_West]

It’s hard to find even great nyc bagels. They are there but not ubiquitous. Forget bialys which are the best thing ever, but practically extinct

Pappy’s Schmears in Cos Cob.

Jersey has good bagels. Ramapo Valley bagels has a killer sandwich:

Ah, you feel the ol' arteries hardening just looking at it. Used to hit this place before AAU tournaments. Kept you going for a whole day of games.

Apropos thread. Next time in the city go to Russ and daughters on E. Houston get a super heebster bagel. Tell em Adub sent you for an extra Schmear

I remember when Lender's bagels was a one store retail bakery. Great bagels then, water bagels at it's best. Now the are all over the country and are garbage. Come to the coast in Oregon and I'll make you a true NY style water bagel.

Flanders Bakery in East Lyme has the best bagels in the state.

Cohen's in Madison has good bagels doubt their best in state though

H&H is back in business with new owners and they deliver daily to New Haven again, and I am told they are still pretty good but I don't really do bagels anymore. I love bialys, which I don't believe H&H does anymore--or at least not that make it up this way--but believe it or not Stop & Shop has very good bialys in their bakery section. We buy a stack of them a few times a week; whole family loves them.

The kids like Cohens, too, and I think they're fine but not up to NYC standards. I used to love comparing and contrasting H&H and Ess-a-Bagel, but haven't had the latter in almost 20 years.

Yessir. As a NJ native, our bagels are one of the must-visit places I go every time I’m back.

Celebrity Bagels in Tenafly is worth the trip.

Brueggers in West Hartford and Bagel King in Fairfield are both really good.

 

[dvegas]

It's definitely not in the 6th borough....

Not in CT but a stones throw away is the Bagel Emporium of Port Chester. Solid bagels and breakfast sandwiches with a great selection of cream cheese.

I think their donuts are better than the bagels. Was actually disappointed with the bagel i had from there might have to try again

 

[UC313]

Ami’s in Waterbury. Not even a contest.

 

[mdkhusky]

Dunkin’ Donuts

 

[Deepster]

Brookside Bagels in Simsbury is very good. Same with Bagel Chalet in Avon.

I second the Bagel King nomination

never heard of these but will check out, thanks!

Shef’s on Rt 10 in Cheshire does a good job. Salt bagel w/ scallion cream cheese always hits the spot.

Taylor Ham (not Pork Roll!), Egg and Cheese. Classic New Jersey. One of the places in my town puts a hashbrown on the bagel sandwich to add a bit more clogging power. I need to go back and look at the diet thread so I don't run over and get a sandwich now!

If you are going to Flanders Bakery you get donuts . Easily the best donuts in CT.

 

[Guapo]

Not in CT, but Bagel World in Danvers, MA.

 

[AdamaNation]

No shout out for Bagelman in Danbury?

Where in CT is Jersey?

Worth the watch:



Also, far from the best bagels ever, but when I was growing up in Glastonbury they had day old bagels from Bagelz available in the cafeteria in school. As a kid, that was really amazing.
