Goldberg's New York Bagels - Towson

Absolutely fantastic! The bagels are excellent, and it's a perfect spot to bring guests from out of town. They offer a variety of other dishes besides bagels, and everything I've tried is delicious!

BBB, Baltimore's Best Bagels, never disappoints! The bagels are always hot and fresh, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I called them one Friday afternoon at 3 PM, and even though they were preparing to close for Shabbat, they kindly let me know they would be there for another hour and welcomed me to come in to get my bagels. As always, they were delicious! The cookies and desserts are fantastic as well, and my personal favorite is the everything cookie!

Bagel paradise! If you're looking for genuinely chewy, authentic New York-style thick bagels, there’s only one place to go, and that’s 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.
