Living on the border of HoCo and Carrol though it feels closer than it probably is. <br /><br />Habib's Bagel Cafe is a really good NY style bagel. I've generally avoided bagels in Maryland until I found them. Sorry, raised a NY bagel snob. They also have a really good kabob restaurant in the same building.<br /><br />http://Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681544819881263479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-47067196209462998472013-07-15T11:21:17.404-04:002013-07-15T11:21:17.404-04:00Wegman's Bagels are very good.

They don't boil so essentially they are making bread. Bagel Bin past or present were more like bread than bagels too.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12382602953507588963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-67718924959521733042013-07-12T12:20:24.460-04:002013-07-12T12:20:24.460-04:00I was running late for lunch and decided to try th...I was running late for lunch and decided to try the pizza Kolache after reading this post. I very much enjoyed it. The saltiness of the pepperoni played against the slight sweetness of the dough really well. <br /><br />I also tried the Philly Cheesesteak Kolache which was OK, but not as good as the pizza one.<br /><br />Also tried one of their pretzel shaped pastries - boy was that good - dzoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337244607409694673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-13605445081778148562013-07-10T23:51:14.060-04:002013-07-10T23:51:14.060-04:00The kolache place is excellent.

Try the mushroom/cheese kolache. The non-kolache baked goods (e.g., blondies) they bake in house are also very good.bmorecupcakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-33598589269194116342013-07-10T09:14:06.768-04:002013-07-10T09:14:06.768-04:00I second the recommendation for Cafe Bagel.

They're open for dinner now, too.<br /><br />The closest Breugger's appears to be in DC, so not much luck there unless you happen to commute there for work or head there often on the weekend.<br /><br />~kamkamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-39243342822331700712013-07-10T09:10:07.503-04:002013-07-10T09:10:07.503-04:00Thanks for the tip!

The closest to a real (i.e. New York) bagel that I have found in MD is at Cafe Bagel on Marshalee Drive in Elkridge (in the shopping center with the Giant). Also really like their whitefish, tuna and chicken salads - all white meat and not goopy with Mayo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-91946739354091393542013-07-10T06:54:22.959-04:002013-07-10T06:54:22.959-04:00Bagels are one area in which HoCo has regressed. ...Bagels are one area in which HoCo has regressed. Year's ago, the Bagel Bins were really good and we had a Bruegers. The Bagel Bin's have gone downhill, the Breugers is no more, and Einstein's Bagel's are far from authentic. Anyone know where I could get real, authentic bagels in HoCo?
