Reply to comment by JulianVanderbilt in Cupertino's has the best bagels by STREAMOFCONSCIOUSN3S

Have you tried Chewy's Bagels yet? IMO waaaaaay better than Nate's, though I haven't tried Bodos or Cupertino's so I'm not sure how they stack up.

I haven't had Chewy's. I should try them but what comes to mind with the name Chewy's is the petstore e-tailer haha.

You're not far off, the place is named after the owner's dog.

Not that it matters, but I'm an avowed Cupertino's stan. Chewy's is miles better than Nate's, though.

It's amazing to me that Chewy's bagels are more expensive than Essa-a-bagel on W 32nd street in New York City. It's an odd LCOL city item flipped on its head.

Because it's a specialty luxury item here and a run of the mill item in NYC

That's a reasonable way to think of it, and I'd think of them as a luxury item if they were the quality of an ess-a-bagel bagel.

ok, purporting to be a luxury item? I clearly need to try essa bagel. Had Russ and daughter bagel this summer, and it was really disappointing. I used to love H&H way back
