The Best Restaurants In Seattle - Seattle - The Infatuation

"We’re not ashamed to admit that Seattle is far from a bagel town—but Mt. Bagel in Madison Valley is the boiled-and-baked exception. The malty suckers at this shop are the ones to beat, with a fluffy middle and crackly coated shell that’s just as springy ripped fresh from a seed-filled bag as it is two months later fighting off freezer burn in the toaster. Tangy swaths of cayenne-stained scallion cream cheese are like an artist’s final paint swipes—necessary to appreciate its worth. But the beauty of Mt. Bagel’s carbs is not that they’re the best in Seattle—it’s that they’re the ones we still daydream about when in line at a New York deli." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
