Fancy Bagels - SOUTHINGTON

I popped in one Thursday, I had to drop off my instrument at the excellent Music Shop next door. Bought two bags of yesterday’s bagels, froze most of them, and used them for my family’s breakfast or lunches throughout the next two weeks. Out of the oven, they were chewy and crunchy, just delicious. Great flour, excellent technique. The poppy seeds tasted like poppy seeds. Very satisfying. The bakers there know a thing or two about making bagels. The staff could not be nicer. I did not try their coffee, but I got a BLT when I picked up my instrument… outstanding! I had to talk myself out of eating the whole sandwich because I had meant to share it with my son; he agreed: best bagel BLT. Too bad Fancy bagels is a bit of a drive for us, but if we need anything from the Music Shop, we’ll go in the morning and get some bagels too.

Their bagels and bagel sandwiches were fantastic and very fairly priced! Great selection with some unique flavors. I will definitely be back to try more of them!

I moved to CT recently; there is no decent bagel place near me, and I’m sorry but DD is not where you go for bagels (having grown up near NYC, I know a good bagel : . I drove 45 minutes to check this place out because the reviews looked good. Bagels are PHENOMENAL. The quality is outstanding, they use quality ingredients, and the food is always consistent. The staff is friendly and courteous. I have had their breakfast sandwiches, the Tommy Special (omg , and the large list of flavored coffees is the cherry on the sundae. I’ve had the Coconut Almond Fudge, the Maple French Toast, the Pumpkin Spice, but my favorite is the Caramel Nut Biscotti. There is unflavored coffee as well. I drive 45 minutes from the shoreline to come here, that’s how good it is. And I come here a LOT Love love love!!!!! One more thing owner Jackie is so sweet and such a good person; she is always doing charitable things for the local community. Right now, there is a food donation board (see photo and a donation box for veterans (I believe they are currently asking for 2024 calendars . This is more than just a business to her you can see how she cares for the community. I am proud to give my business to this place.

It's ok.. lol.. food is good services mediocre but waiting for your food is a different story. Takes forever... Atmosphere is okay except when there's 30 people waiting and it's so crowded in there you can't even sit down. Most of the time the high school boys are in there taking up every seat. Lol.. We did the same thing when we were their age.

Love this place the bagels and cream cheese is so good
