Finagle a Great Bagel in San Carlos CA

Quite Possibly the Best Bagel in California!

I’m not particularly ashamed of the fact that I am a beigel (some people spell it this way) addict and snob. I believe them to be a superior culinary delight over the inferior doughnut. First, they are more flexible, they can be used basically as sandwich bread and they don’t stain anything they touch. Slice them up and add some lox and cream cheese or even all kinds of sandwich fixings and voila you got a lunch… you can’t do that with a donut, although I imagine some have tried. After they started deep frying Twinkies, all culinary rules went out the window.

Beigels have a wide assortment of real flavors too unlike doughnuts, which primarily only offer different levels of sweetness and challenges to your waistline. Now don’t get me wrong, I too enjoy the occasional doughnut, but I can’t resist the softy doughiness of a great bagel covered in just the perfect crust… yes crust! A good beigel needs a light crunchiness to its crust, it can’t just be all mushy.

Now if you are a connoisseur like me and are lucky enough to live in San Carlos CA then there’s only one place to go and that’s the House of Bagels on 605 Laurel St, San Carlos, CA 94070. Truth be told, even if you live in some of the surrounding communities, you should still come to San Carlos for them because you don’t have a House of Bagels. As far as I’m concerned, you couldn’t call yourself The City of Good Living if you lacked the perfect beigel shop. They got all your different flavors, and the friendly staff can slice, dice, and toast them followed by squeezing just about anything inside. What’s important here is that you start with a good culinary foundation – the perfect beigel. Myself, I’m a purist, just give me a plain one, still warm from the oven and I’m in heaven.

So, if you’re a beigel snob too then call us to find a home for sale in San Carlos CA and join us for a beigel on Laurel Street for the perfect breakfast/lunch/snack food.
