Atlanta isn’t known for its vast selection of fresh bagels. Shops and longtime bagel institutions, like Bagel Palace in the Toco Hill shopping plaza, have sadly come and gone over the years. Other shops, like the no frills Marietta bagel and deli stalwart Bagelicous, continue to attract new generations of loyal regulars. Just remember to bring cash. A few bagel shops throughout Atlanta installed water filtration systems, attempting to mimic the water used at shops in Brooklyn, New York — considered the home of the American bagel. While Atlanta may lack the proliferation of bagel shops found in New York City, there are shops specializing in New York-style bagels worth seeking out here.
