Goldberg's New York Bagels - Towson

Fantastic. Great bagels, and great place to take guests from out of town!!! they have other food besides bagels though, and all of it is very good!

BBB. Baltimore's Best Bagels! Always hot and fresh, great friendly staff! I called them up one Friday afternoon 3pm, they were closing for shabbos, but told me that they would still be there for another hour (while closed) and that I could still come in to buy some bagels! They were fresh as always! Cookies and Desserts here are great too, my favorite is the everything cookie!

Bagel heaven. If you want true Chewy.. New york style thick authentic bagels.. there can be only 1... and that is Goldberg's...

Best Bagle in B-More. This place rocks! The bagles are so fresh, so crispy yet delicate on the inside. Come here after sunset on a Saturday and it is crazy with the locals, and the bagles come out HOT!. They make their own spreads, too, they are yummy but pricey. Try the everything cookie, it has everything good in it!

The real deal. Growing up in the New York area, and being Jewish, I know from bagels. My children I don't know where I failed love Sam's, Einstein's and Panera Bread's bagels. Oy. The first time I walked into Goldberg's and saw a guy in a yarmulke pushing bagels around in a kettle of boiling water (real bagels are boiled before they're baked; fake bagels are baked in a steam oven) I knew I was going to like the place.<br/ <br/ I do.<br/ <br/ Although Goldberg's makes the trendy flavors, I always stick with the traditional types: plain, egg, garlic, onion, everything, sesame seed, poppy seed. Irregular (made by hand) and dense, they're as good as H&H in New York, my personal gold standard.<br/ <br/ One caveat: the bialys don't hit the heights of the bagels. I'm still looking for the bialy of my dreams in Baltimore. But I think Goldberg's is better than the chains, better than Greg's, better than any I've had in Maryland.<br/ <br/ Oh, they have other stuff, too, like sandwiches and soups. They look and smell good. I've never made it past the bagels to try anything else, and probably never will.
