Upper Crust Bagel

My favourite place for breakfast in Greenwich, out of the oven bagels smothered in too much cream cheese, what more could you ask for?

Whenever I came home from college this would be my first and last meal before heading back to Europe.  Whatever about New York bagels, these have always been my favourites.

Upper Crust? They aren't kidding over here. I guess they feel they don't need to go the extra mile because of a Greenwich location. This place does the bare minimum without any frills.

The bagels here were decent, soft, and fluffy but they were not very warm. Freshness is not their forte, I assume. The cream cheese selection was pretty limited. I guess this is what happens when you leave NY in search of bagels. A fool's errand.

The young lady at the counter wanted to be anywhere but working here. On the plus side, they had bathrooms, plenty of tables, and parking in the rear. One has to assume that there are better bagel places in CT but it's remarkable how dramatic the drop-off is once you cross the border.

I love this bagel place. The only reason it doesn't give five stars is that I would like to see more breakfast options. You can get a bacon and egg sandwich on a bagel, or any variety of bagels and cream cheese, but that's about it. However the options for regular bagel sandwiches and coffee are excellent. This is a great local place to eat, and the bagels are made the old-fashioned way.
