Yeah say what you will, but the food is good at Little Sister and the bagels are the best bagels in town at Rebelle.

If you've never had a bagel before, or enjoy rock-adjacent foods, then sure.

They’ve always been nice and soft when I’ve had them. They do get hard fast though like if you dont eat them within 2-3 days.

Anyone who knows from bagels knows you freeze them if you're not going to eat them within hours, not days.

If you love the bagels from that place, great. Nobody should yuck your yum. Best in town, though...

Make sure you've tried others. The only thing better than a bagel you really enjoy is a bagel you enjoy even more.

Yeah any time I’ve gotten more than one bagel to take home from there, I’ve frozen them! Great tip.

I mean out of the bagel place on broadway and providence bagel, I’d definitely say Rebelle is my fave bagel.

Excellent!

Because of the strong rep and the location, I've retried Rebelle three times. That probably would have been my limit on its own, but that woman cemented things.

Bagel Gourmet is worth a try, if you're so inclined. A blind taste test is always fun.

Had a chance to get my hands on a dozen from Absolute Bagles in NY. Ate 4 in the car on the way home, lol.

Of course any bagel from NY is gonna be next level!

Then I guess she serves 2-3 old bagels, which actually sounds pretty on-brand for her
