      <content>not a lot of great options here.
i like the bagels at murray's (abington or bala).  le bus has "bagels" that aren't traditional at all, which I probably would like ok if they renamed them.  </content>

      <content>I've posted this before but, I'll say it again. The Original Bagel Co. in Broomall makes top-notch bagels and bialys.
They are the family that originally opened New York Bagels on Haverford Ave. in Overbrook Park back in the 60's.</content>

      <content>where's original bagel company?  that's not the place in the same strip mall as Alfredo's and Boyle's flooring, is it?  I've always been disappointed with that bagel place... stale bagels... egg sandwiches with microwaved eggs... please tell me i'm missing some great Broomall find elsewhere?</content>

      <content>Don't know when you've gone but, on Sunday mornings the bagels are fresh out of the oven. Never had an egg sandwich there so I can't comment.
I'm surprised to hear how disappointed you've been.</content>

      <content>In the Daily New there was a Secret of Cheltenham section and it had a food section that had a bagel place-here's the text.

Rolings Bakery, 7848 Montgomery Ave. Elkins Park 
215-635-5524 
A rare Delaware Valley purveyor of authentic Flatbush bagels. "They're super chewy. You have to like that chewy thing," Green advises. "But they're very, very good."

      <content>I have posted about Rolings before on bagel threads.  I think they are the best locally (and there is a deli by Rittenhouse Square that brings them in on Fridays only)</content>

      <content>The Bagel Spot on Kings Highway in Cherry Hill.  Kosher, boiled bagels.  Not those puffy air filled  DD fake baked bagels.  Worth the trip if you're in the mood for an authentic bagel.</content>

      <content>I love the salt bagels with the jalapeno spread.  I brush off most of the salt before eating.  Love the veggie bagels as well.  Service with a scowl, but they are the best!  I have taken them for breakfast presentations and every single time I do, people come out in droves.  I always get phone calls later for where I bought them.  If you order ahead of time, they will do mini sizes for parties, etc.
Unfortunately, so many people in S.Jersey have never had a decent bagel that they find these bagels 'heavy' (ie: not like the DD, Lenders, or McDonalds bagels.).  These are the real thing.</content>

      <content>Love this subject. I used to work at Brooklyn Bagels in NE Philly when I was a kid, They HAD the best bagels, bar none. they actually made Bialys back then. Since they closed many years ago, I have been trying to find anything close and unfortunately, Manhatten Bagels are the only one's around. Whoa is me.</content>

      <content>I really like Wegman bagels. They are a little smaller and usually have lots of seeds. My husband will make do with the ones on Haverford and City Line or the ones on Chapel Ave in Cherry Hill, but he is partial to Montclair (NJ) bagels. He thinks they're even better than NY bagels. Fortunately, that is where our grandchildren are and he can stock up.</content>

      <content>A small place right on Bloomfield Avenue, the same side of the street as the movie theater. I'm not sure if it's the same block as the movie or the next one. We buy a couple dozen, slice them in half and freeze them. The next time we're there I'll see what the place is called.</content>
