I buy them in their store on Bleecker St. In NY .  I like them ,DH doesn't but he's not much of a bagel person.  It's amazing how filling they are.  ONe usually fills me.  It's like eating the crustiest part of the bagel with the cream cheese.

I'm going to order them from the Q because I want to try different flavors and I like the idea of having them conveniently in the freezer. Hope you enjoy your order.


 

Thanks, @ANewHue.  I too wanted multiple portions I could freeze & take out a few at a time. I can buy any old bagel or whatever some businesses decide to call a bagel anywhere, but I'm used to better - stopping by the shop and getting them warm. But I no longer have that option, so thought I'd try these.

 

Although I love cream cheese on my bagels, it wouldn't have mattered to me if these weren't filled, I would have just bought my own. But I'll be interested to see if the filling "makes or breaks" these.

I am with you. I can count at least 4 bagel shops within 2 miles of me in NJ. We are spoiled!!!


NJ here too- I've found very few bagel places in NJ that are like NY bagels. The NJ bagels tend to be really 'bready'- and/or  puffed with extra yeast. There's one franchise that has several locations in  the area (I'm in Somerset Cty)  - and they're JUST like my NY roots !!!

Has anyone ordered them before?

 

I caved. I have never ordered a food item from QVC before, but I just wanted those.

 

I love bagels, but the regular, full-sized bagels are pretty much off-limits for me. I used to have ready access to low carb bagels but no longer do, so I abstain.

 

These two-bite sized ones will let me enjoy a couple here and there with coffee without overdoing it.

 

The only thing is, November is a long time to wait :-(

 

 

I ordered them and before they were scheduled to be delivered I realized they had them all all the Boston Starbucks locations!  So I ordered them to try. I found them just okay.  Not amazing.  So I immediately logged into my QVC account to cancel the order.  It was PENDING CANCEL for so long I got worried I would get in trouble for cancelling.  Based on my experience I would suggest trying a local Starbucks to see if they carry them and try first and then decide.  What I did really like is you could have the bagel experience without having to get a huge bagel.  So that part I think is nice!! Smiley Happy

Oh, man, I still miss NY bagels.  The BEST!!!

 

I can get bagels where I am now, but they're not really bagels.

 

Fake bagels.

@Say Nay

 

Get outta my head.  I was just going to post a pic of the bottom one and say, they do exist, lol.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

@JasoninBoston, I'm on the West Coast, so assume Starbucks uses a different supplier here for daily fresh bagels, but you never know. Since I'm retired now, I'm rarely at a SB's early enough in the day for there to be bagels left ;-)
