Unfortunately for the bagels, I'm pretty sure the other offerings stole the show this morning. I did enjoy their garlic chive cream cheese with my Plain bagel but the eggs and pineapple stood out, in addition to the delightful bacon/maple syrup cupcake to finish things off.
Common Roots had a great patio which looked very appealing on this sunny Sunday morning. (Ours was a to-go order.) And the staff was super friendly and excited for our week of coupon-aided eating. In summary, I thought the bagels were good but fairly unremarkable. If you like a crustier skin to your bagel with a good dusting of ingredients atop, they delivered. If you prefer your bagel a bit doughier, you might find them too dry.
Any bagel enthusiasts been there with something to share?
No one can give me a good answer as to why New York City bagels are so unique, compared to bagels elsewhere in the USA. New Yorkers say its the water. I don't buy it. Why, Pip. Why?
