"Emerald City Bagels has come a long way from their roadside stand in Cabbagetown. Stepping through the door of their brick and mortar location in EAV feels like a portal into another era, with workers in white aprons and white paper diner hats, making seltzers in house (try the lemon basil and add a shot of ginger). The whole place is very ’60s, with a wooden counter that looks like a fanned-out accordion, and gold posts that hold up glass dividers over that counter. There’s a variety of bagels, cream cheeses, and bagel sammies, so grab one of their signatures like the classic bacon, egg, and cheese on an onion bagel or create your own with their variety of toppings." - juli horsford
"This mother-daughter team first began popping up at farmers’ markets before the duo opened their popular East Atlanta Village bagel shop in 2018. Slow fermented and boiled, Emerald City serves a variety of fresh, New York-style bagels daily, which often sell out before noon. Expect flavors ranging from everything, rosemary sea salt, and garlic to pretzel, jalapeno cheddar, and poppy seed. Top bagels here with whitefish, smoked salmon, and a variety of schmears. Bagel sandwiches are also available. Want those bagels delivered? Hit up the bagel fairy for a baker’s dozen, complete with plain and garlic herb cream cheese." - Molly Harris
"While you’ll find some of Atlanta’s best bagels here, don’t skip over the drink menu. If you look beyond the register-side cooler or your go-to coffee order, you’ll find that Emerald City Bagel offers a selection of housemade seltzers. Flavors include lemon basil, ginger, black cherry, cream, citrus punch, and a seasonal selection. If you see celery seltzer on the menu, it pairs well with savory flavors like an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese." - Laura Scholz
