Behind This Unassuming Cleveland Storefront, You’ll Find The Best Bagels In The World
It is said that the best things come in small packages, and that is especially true when it comes to food. Pierogis, for example, are petite packages with delectable flavors that locals can’t help but rally around. But such a delicacy is not the only food item that locals are obsessed with. In fact, one unassuming storefront in Cleveland hides the best bagels in the world, and you’ll fall in love with just one bite.
Bialy's Bagels may not look like much, but it's one of Greater Cleveland's favorite bagel shops.
The shop is hidden in plain sight in a shopping plaza, but don’t let its unassuming storefront fool you - the bagels here are some of the best you’ll ever taste.
Baily’s opened its doors in 1966 and has been a hit with locals for generations.
Familiar flavors like garlic, blueberry, egg and cheese, and cinnamon raisin are all on the menu, but you’ve never tasted them quite like this before. Even the plain bagels are something to brag about.
And locals have also discovered that visits are enhanced by the occasional presence of specialty flavors that'll blow your mind.
In addition to the standards, fan favorites like jalapeño cheddar and cinnamon crunch bagels are offered only Friday through Sunday, but you’ll have to wake up early if you want to get your hands on one - they sell out fast!
Pro tip: these bagels are a tasty alternative to regular old hamburger buns, so pick some up the next time you’re grilling.
On certain holidays, you will see crowds gathering outside the bagel shop to pick up treats for their loved ones.
Whether you swing by for breakfast or lunch, your taste buds are in for an experience they’ll never forget. Bialy’s is located at 2267 Warrensville Center Rd., University Heights and is open daily from 5:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Cleveland is a town foodies love, but some of the most seemingly ordinary foods are baked to perfection by local minds. Have you ever tried Bialy’s Bagels? What is your favorite flavor? Let us know in the comments below!
