There is nothing better in the morning for breakfast a fresh, lightly toasted New York-style bagel with a generous smear of cream cheese and lox.  My personal preference is the “everything” bagel.  It has sesame seeds, poppy seeds, salt and onion bits baked on top.  Anyway, before I start getting hungry, let me get back to the purpose of this blog post.  It’s to tell all you Rosemont neighbors about the best bagel shop in the Roswell-Alpharetta area.

BB’s Bagels & Diner (770 McFarland Parkway, Alpharetta, 770-475-1818), owned and operated by New York transplants Eddie and Anna Siino, are probably a step above any other bagel that you may find in the entire metro Atlanta area.  And from a bagel aficionado such as myself, that is saying a lot.  Getting a bagel just right takes skill.  It can’t be too tough, it can’t be too soft.  And it has to just the right amount of shine and chewiness.  Trust me, BB’s knows how it should be done.  And the cream cheese schmear…just right.  Not too little, not too much.

Expect to find all of the classic bagel flavors, such as salt, sesame, and pumpernickel.  But also check out some of the unique flavors, like “chocolate chip” and “french toast”.  Drop by and give them a try when you get a chance, and stop back here to let me know what you think.
