I love me some bagel. And especially finding little bagel places like this one! Slightly bleary-eyed from my 5 a.m. trip to Alpharetta, I was thankful to see that they open at 6:30 a.m., and with some serious competition from a Starbucks next door. Actually, maybe to their advantage, because every time I've been in a Starbucks and desperately hungry, their bagels just make me sad. Horrible.

The AJC review of Bagel Boys states exactly what I was thinking - it has a very 'national chain' feel to it, but it is indeed an independent spot to get your bagel on.

While the bagel breakfast sandwiches like the spinach, bacon and artichoke sounded incredible, since I was in Alpharetta to watch a marathon, this many calories at this hour just seemed wrong. Plus, I'm an asiago girl at heart, so I stuck with the usual. A seriously tasty bagel with just a forth of an inch-ish of cream cheese as requested, instead of the brick o'cream cheese that bagel places usually dole out.

Just saw on their website that their service motto is "Fast - Correct - Friendly." Other non-customer service businesses out there, please take note!

Located next door to a StarSux and barely noticeable from the street or even the parking lot, Bagel Boys Cafe is quite an awesome secret in Alpharetta and it's sad that it took me a whole year to actually try this place out.

Clean, corporate looking-but-not and with food that actually taste good - I tried hard to not come back and avoid spending the money, but I failed miserably on a weekly basis.

The coffee is some of the best I've had - and that's only because they usually have a cinnamon hazelnut blend that's as awesomely fake sounding but delicious tasting as it can be.

Couple the coffee with their bagel melt - and I'm done - all for under $5.00 - I probably lose 20 minutes on my way to work when I stop here, but knowing that if I don't I'll be sitting there at my desk, in a cold cubicle and a starving stomach - and I realize that I have no choice at all in the matter.

Add this to the very short list of reasons why I don't feel so bad about living in Decatur and working in Alpharetta.
