Stepping into Beaubien Bagel on a brisk September day, one encounters a modest ambiance devoid of extravagance. While warmth might not be readily apparent, the meticulous attention behind the counter speaks volumes. Each bagel, slightly broader than the norm, undergoes careful selection, slicing, and coating with cream cheese. Upon biting into the warm, freshly prepared creation, its soft, yielding crumb reveals the hallmark of quality. Despite its unassuming nature, Beaubien Bagel delivers a gratifying experience. And although some may favor more renowned establishments, this unpretentious gem in Little Italy stands its ground with its aromatic, wood-fired offerings.
