"We dare you to visit Crieve Hall Bagel Co. and leave in a bad mood. This bagel shop has major feel-good energy, with pastel wall art, Scrabble-tile menu, super friendly staff, and, of course, its crispy-chewy sourdough bagels. They come in a range of options—jalapeño, cinnamon sugar, blueberry, lemon thyme, rosemary—and are accompanied by schmears in creative flavors like toasted everything, maple walnut, giardiniera, and more. We also like the stuffed bagel sandwiches, including the Fig & Pig (whipped feta, fig jam, and bacon) or the Hot Chick (breaded chicken, bacon, egg, cheese, spicy mayo, and hot honey). There’s also a short but delicious pastry menu featuring housemade pop tarts, scones, and muffins." - bailey freeman
