"I was hesitant to try Manhattan Bagel at first because it's a chain restaurant. Growing up in the area, I had always frequented local bagel shops. However, I recently gave MB a try and have since become a fan. While I still prefer supporting local businesses, I appreciate the convenience of Manhattan Bagel. One of the advantages is the option to order through their app and pick up, which is great for busy days. My favorite item is the farmhouse bagel, which features grilled egg, bacon, ham, cheddar, and country pepper cream cheese on a cheesy hash brown gourmet bagel. The cheesy combination is delicious! I also enjoy the lox on an everything bagel with capers at MB. Additionally, their coffee is quite good."
