Fancy my surprise skipping along my street to see a new bagel bakery here in Paris! Whaaaaattt! When did this happen? Bagelstein's window display called me in. Look at these lovely looking freshly made bagels of all kinds.

It's a great place to chill and people watch like a Parisian. They have 2 floors in a small space but most people never venture downstairs except for the purpose of using the restrooms. I've been going here for 6 years and I've had the pleasure of having tried "almost" everything on the menu and seen the staff rotate but th[...]
