BAGEL LAND
I've always kind of been a sucker for places or stores with either "LAND" or "WORLD" in the name. It's like the easiest store name ever, but always seems awesome to me.
TACO WORLD or POTATO LAND or TOILET WORLD. All awesome names, and no confusion as to what they sell or where you need to go to get any of those things.
Anyway, I got a whole wheat bagel with a schmear of cream cheese. It was fine. I've never found a bagel in the NW that compared to NYC bagels though. I'm not really sure why... it seems like it should be easy. And there are all these weird little shops in NYC with dirty kitchens and people that don't exactly inspire culinary confidence by the appearance with ridiculously good bagels. But that is not BAGEL LAND. BAGEL LAND sells a bagel that reminds me a lot of the bagels from bagel oasis in Seattle. Which are pretty good, but something seems missing. It's certainly better than Lenders or some packaged bull*bling* masquerading as a bagel, but probably not worth going out of your way to eat. However, there is a great coffee shop just north of BAGEL LAND called Ristretto. They make and roast awesome coffee.
But what is the deal with Bagel places in the NW being run by hippies? Hippies.

What about World Wraps? That's not very interesting at all.
Good point. I guess WORLD or LAND has to be at the end.
World Wraps... gah.
I went to Bagel Land this morning and it was soooooo slow. The eggs on my bagel were also disgusting.
The Bridgeport Bakery has some awesome bagels. One of the regulars is from N.Y. and says they are the closest thing to N.Y. bagels he's had.
yeah, bagel land is the suxxx, plus, the people that work there are jerks, except for that new girl that was in there the other day. but i suspect after she's worked there for a little while, she too will be as angry as all the other people that work there.
anyway, back to the bagels, the sesame is kind of okay. it's big and puffy, like i like a bagel to be, instead of being all small and rock-esque like most of their bagels.
i only go to this crapland when i'm late on a job in that in neighborhood and then i just get cream cheese and then go across the st. for coffee cause bagelcraplandworld also has really shitty coffee.
