There is a moment in Florida when the sun is up, the palm fronds barely twitch, and all you want is a proper, chewy, New York bagel that crackles lightly when bitten. I chased that feeling until I found a spot that nails it without the airport shuffle or a suitcase full of sesame seeds.
The lines here tell a story, but the first warm bite tells the truth. Keep reading and I will show you where the crust, crumb, and cream cheese finally agree, and how to time your visit like a local so you get the best of everything.
Address, hours, and the New York link
The place you want is Long Island Bagel Cafe at 8903 Glades Rd, Boca Raton, FL 33434, United States. It is a bagel shop with a 4.6 rating that opens early, typically 6 AM, and closes at 5 PM, with Thursday posted as 6 AM to 5 PM.
I checked the hours and planned breakfast accordingly…
