The Best Bagels in Boston | Eater Boston
"Pavement Coffeehouse’s bagel roots date back to the now-renamed Bagel Rising that first opened at this same location in Allston in 2002. Owner Lawrence Margulies began selling his bagels wholesale to three Espresso Royale Caffes, before buying them out and later converting them — and Bagel Rising — into Pavements. Now with eight locations around Boston, there’s more opportunity than ever to embrace the glory of a Tequila Sunrise bagel sandwich, with bacon, egg, diablo cream cheese, and pico de gallo. Pavement’s bagels are kettle-boiled before baking to prevent too much rise while maintaining moisture, producing a dense and chewy bagel." - Valerie Li Stack
