"A good bagel is one of the best possible breakfast options and Kupel’s Bakery near Coolidge Corner has perfected the art. This kosher bakery makes more than 20 different bagel flavors every day. Load one up with a flavored schmear like jalapeno, strawberry, green olive, or lox, or request a made-to-order sandwich named after a Boston neighborhood. The Coolidge Corner includes the best-selling chive cream cheese with smoked salmon and tomato on an onion and salt bagel, whereas the Harvard mixes honey walnut cream cheese and jelly on a bagel of your choice." - Nathan Tavares
