Forest Avenue Bagels

I have NEVER seen bagels so big and Fluffy. I was in Staten Island to go to Cherubini. On the way back out, I decided to stop and get a few bagels to commemorate my visit to S.I. and my leaving NY. I'm a Queens baby so we have bagels but these were BAGELS!! I literally cleaned them out. The you first gentleman than was bagging my bagels gave me. a purpose to smile that day. The older gentleman was so nice, so respectful. And for less than $15 I walked out with over 15 bagels of a great variety. *I took all the pumpernickel and wheat first*. I was able to share bagels with 5 people. I ate my straight out the bag! The smell was so enticing.. I had to double bag them to get out the store. Moist, chewy, delightful interior. Freshly baked, nicely cracking exterior. I needed nothing; no toaster, no butter, no eggs. Nothing!! Had I not eaten it so fast, I might eat been able to catch a photo. Whenever I return to S.I. in the future, this will be my go to place.

Always a delight. Fresh bagels. The staff was a bit distracted today reading something and messed up my order. I ordered a turkey, egg and cheese, with salt, pepper, ketchup. When i got home and opened my sandwich it was a turkey and bacon with cheese, salt, pepper, ketchup. As i was avoiding pork bacon and really wanted eggs i was disappointed but ate the sandwich none the less. It was a good sandwich just not what i ordered.

Prices charged depending on the mood of the male cashier with glasses! Same purchases run .$50+/- Zero social distancing in place! Sanitary conditions D- at best! Not sure why the DOA continues to pass! Person's making food products always sweating into the food! Nice mix, of body fluids with bagel, egg and cheese, etc...
