I'm not jewish, but I love bagels.
The bagels here are steamed, not boiled, but what do you expect in Baton Rouge, LA? Great tasting bagels for a reasonable price. Once every week or two my spouse goes to pick up a bakers dozen, and I enjoy them until I run out!

New York Bagel Company does have a great selection of bagels. They are really good, too. They are pretty big so don't go too wild. It's a nice and quick breakfast.

Yes, Virginia there are bagels in Baton Rouge and here is the place to get them. Bagels for breakfast such as cinnamon raisin, blueberry and more....also bagel bites--drenched in gooey icing (my personal favorite). They also have a wide selection of bagel sandwhiches for lunch on such bagels as sundried tomato, wheat, poppyseed and more. Located off Jefferson Hwy near Essen, this is a great location. I don't think you would be disappointed....especially with the variety of cream cheeses you can put on them-including garden cream cheese!
