In my eyes, there is no better way to start your morning than with a perfectly toasted bagel. Bagels are my be-all, end-all. Here are five bagel places in Cambridge I like.
For the Perfectly Toasted Bagel
Bagelsaurus
Porter Square
These bagels are epic. This store does bagels and only bagels, they don't mess around with other breads. They offer a wide variety and always run out, get there early!
Mameleh's
Kendall Square
YUM! I appreciate an everything bagel that is really covered head to toe which is what you get here. This modern delicatessen has an extensive menu for take-out or dine in.
Petsi Pies
Near Harvard Square
I cannot vouch for all locations, but Petsi Pies on Putnam Ave has a nice selection of bagels. The egg sandwiches hit the spot.
S & S
Inman Square
This restaurant is an institution to some. The menu pretty much covers anything you can imagine. If you are looking for a bagel with lox, this is the spot.
Bruegger's Bagels
Porter Square
Yes, this is a large chain, but I love it. The selection of bagels and cream cheeses are endless. This is a great place to mix it up, and try something new.
