People constantly ask me, “Who makes the best bagels in Florida?” Now you guys know that this food reviewing “situation” is purely a subjective call- with that in mind, if I had to choose one bagel- joint, I’d go with Bagel City South which boil-bakes its bagels every day- in house!

In recent days, Jeff Eats has seen a number of tractor trailers loaded with cars with New York and New Jersey license plates- unloading their “cargo”- so to save time, let me answer the inevitable “best bagels” questions by reprinting this Jeff Eats’ article from February 23, 2015…

Jeff,
Long time reader.
I know you don’t like or really do ‘best’ lists.
Indulge me, if it came down to just one south Florida joint, which one would it be for bagels?
I won’t tell anyone.
Thanks,
Anthony Franza

Anthony Franza,
You know that ‘best’ lists really aren’t my game…that said, if you promise not to tell anyone!
And- thanks for reading.

Bagel City South makes some of the best New York styled bagels and bialys in South Florida. The stuff is made the old fashioned way, that being hand rolled, boiled and then oven baked.
The joint is open 7 days a week for breakfast and lunch. Great place for appetizing, burgers, deli, eggs and of course those fantastic bagels/bialys.
Sassy waitresses and talkative countermen add to the New York flavor. This is a real good one.
Jeff,
Ive lived in South Florida 47 years. Originally from Brooklyn. I have eaten in bagel joints all over Florida. BCS definitely has terrific bagels. There are a ton of good ones and I think that Bagels With in Delray Beach also has terrific ones. Jeff Eats’ readers have loads of favorite joints but I think that BCS wins the best prize.
Delicious bagels.as close to being a real NYC bagel as can be. There are a load of good bagels in Florida. But for sure Bagel Cit y is right up there with the best of them.
Excellent bagels. Food wise, there are a ton of joints that are better.
