Bagels in Kansas City

[mcj2a]

So, what's a good place to get good bagels in KC? I haven't lived here too terribly long, so the only places I know are Einstein Brothers and Panera, which are good for what they are, I guess, but more like pastries than bagels. I'm looking for JoCo specifically, but metro KC as well.

You want to try Jersey Shore Bagel at 6009A Johnson Dr. It's not the best bagel I've ever had -- that was a joint in Norfolk, VA -- but I think they're pretty tasty. And they are certainly the only real bagels I've had here in town. They are chewy, with a substantial crust, the kind that bubbles a little when you toast them. You need to get there in the morning, though, because they often sell out by mid-day.

Thanks for both of the Jersey Shore Bagel recommendations...I will definitely try them. Hopefully they live up to their name. :-)

Just to follow up, I have been going out there every week since I first tried it - definitely the best I've had in town. Thanks again.

Glad that you like them. I've been twice since I recommended them, they were a great way to kick off my B-day "Weekend O' Carbs".

I too have been hunting for real bagels, beyond Einstein Bros, Panera, and Price Chopper ... but live in the Northland, so JOCO is a bit out of the way. Anyone know of anything on the Missouri side, hopefully north of the river?

I love and highly recommend Jersey Shore Bagles on Johnson Drive. I have not been there in awhile b/c a) I've been watching my carbs and b) it is a bit outta the way for me. Gosh, I may have to throw low carbing it out the window for at least one breakfast this week.

I was so happy to find this recommendation. I have been searching for a decent bagel for the last 5 yrs here. I do have to say that in the freezer section of Price Chopper are Bagels Forever and they're pretty decent. We lived in NY for 5 years, so I do know my bagels!

I would love to find good bagels here. Most bagels here are big, soft bread donuts, which are not what I am looking for. Not even New York Bakery or any of the Hen Houses have decent bagels.
