"Weekend crowds head to Calic for its chewy bagels, made with tangzhong, a Japanese baking technique that uses pre-cooked flour in the mix. The shop is best known for its stuffed bagels, including one stuffed with garlic cream cheese and dipped in garlic butter. But while the stuffed bagels may be tempting, don’t neglect the sandwiches. The bacon, egg, and cheese piles on thick-cut smoky bacon, a steamed egg that resembles a stiffer version of the Korean gyeran-jjim, and melty cheese. There are a few seats inside the shop, but plenty of seating in the courtyard right outside." - Mona Holmes
