Leo's Bagels

"Bagel enthusiasts, meet Leo’s Bagels, a sleeper high-quality bagel pick. The bagels here are gooey and chewy in the way that the best NYC bagels are. This is where you should be getting your egg and cheese bagel in the morning." - kenny yang, neha talreja, hannah albertine

"Excellent bagels are the obvious reason to head to Leo’s, but this FiDi fixture particularly excels in the smoked fish department, offering everything from belly lox to smoked trout to sablefish. The bagels provide a sturdy base for speciality and breakfast sandwiches, as well as a whole menu of omelets-on-a-bagel." - Eater Staff

"We get that people will always have their preference between toasted and untoasted. It’s the New York bagel equivalent of Fender vs. Gibson, skinny jeans vs. wide-leg jeans, or excessive throw pillows vs. not-excessive throw pillows. But we urge any toasted truthers to try an untoasted, plain bagel from Leo’s in Fidi. It’s one of the puffier bagels out there, and it has a pleasantly gooey chew, while the bottom remains partially crispy. Our order also includes scallion cream cheese, featuring scallions that are actually crunchy, as well as the very salty belly lox that ties everything together." - willa moore, neha talreja, hannah albertine, will hartman
