Like to make my own bread but when I don’t I like the bagels at a Jewish deli about 40 minutes away. With lox, cream cheese, capers, red onions, lettuce and tomatoes.
I like to make my own everything bagels. Really easy and delicious. Always freeze, then thaw when ready to eat. It’s the only way to keep them fresh. (Same for bakery bagels). Most store bagels taste nothing like a real bagel.
