These opinions range from which shops make the best bagels in Atlanta (and if that’s even possible here) or whether a bagel sandwich should be open- or closed-faced to New York- versus Montreal-style bagels.

Atlanta’s bagel scene is finally growing beyond just a few scattered spots around town, and now includes beloved institutions that have been around for decades, neighborhood bakeries and cafes, and even pop-ups dedicated to nothing but the humble bagel.
