I'll second that!

I'll third that!!!

Fourthed.

EINSTEINS (real) bagels . . . PH really has no (real) bagel place!! nothing against dunkin d's except for their character-less bagels . . .

says the guy who is happy eating the same foods over and over. just like our son. I like options!

Yes, honey, but I eat the same foods at many different restaurants :)

It also could be a management issue. Seen many places that do a business however if you can't manage money properly it doesn't matter how popular your place is.

There used to be a GREAT bagel place in PH at the intersection of SIlver Spring and Belair Rd in that shopping center where Goodwill is and the Harp. They had really good food. I stopeed there nearly every morning for a Bagel breakfast sandwich and a dozen bagels for the office. I dont' know why they closed up, since it seemed they were always busy. Marty Ford was the owner and he has years of experience in the food business. He is a classy guy as well. I hope he will jump back into PH with anothe3r bagel place, of maybe even an honest to goodness Italian Restaurant.

Yeah I went in to try it for the first time and the only bread they only had rye bread because of shipping delays and had no "to go" coffee cups. I walked over to Dunkin Donuts for the coffee. I was not impressed with this place.

Voter: We actually have an old take out menu from that place you are taking about. The name escapes me now as I'm obviously at work.

We bought our home in 2002, and the lady who owned it was living alone, and she clearly didn't cook much.

Tough to compete with Dunkin' Donuts with a drive-thru.

No it's not. Donuts are terrible for you, and their bagels (and egg/cheese 'products') are third rate.

I beg to differ. Classic Bagels was consistently crowded in the morning and during lunch, especially on weekends. I used t ogo there 2-3 days a week and almost always had to stand in line to get my bagels and coffee. Their demise came when they tried to go more upscale, serving dinner and then serving beer and wine. They opened later in the morning (too late for me to stop there) and likely lost a lot of loyal customers.

You may be right, but what I can tell you is this: The few times my family and I have gone to Bagel Bistro here: http://parkville.patch.com/listings/bagel-bistro-2 on the weekends, the line is OUT THE DOOR.

We usually go there when we get the oil changed in one of our vehicles. Saturday or Sunday, slammed.

I go to Bagel Bistro on my way to work, on average, 2.5 times a week for breakfast.

I don't think they'll be going out of business anytime soon.

Oh, and on Evets note: Bagel Bistro does breakfast and lunch. They close at 3pm every day.

It's funny, because for months I always thought it was closed. It took forever for me to finally realize it was actually in business.

I enjoy Towson Hot Bagels too. Best bacon/egg/cheese bagels I've had here. I just don't live in Towson. I'll hit there once every two weeks.

The Bagel Bistro on Joppa Rd near Baskin Robbins has been there for many years. They have the best variety of bagels (love garden veggie) and the sandwiches are great. That is my "go to" place for bagels. I believe they open at 6AM

I dig their jalapeno and onion bagels.

Did you mean he "quashed" a 7-Eleven? "Squashing" one would be a mighty feat.

Mark - I will make sure to run my posts through you first. Thanks for the grammer lesson, obviously I need one!

Maybe one on each side of the Rite Aid. I don't understand the attraction to Walgreens, but I guess someone shops there since they just built a giant one. Isn't there one like 2 miles up Belair Road? Why do we have so many of them?

Jeff, it sounds like you have a headache. Walgreens, CVS, and Rite Aid have aspirin. There is a CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens right out there on Belair Road. Pretty close to each other. You could probably walk to either one of them.

Paul...hilarious. You know, I did buy my tylenol this morning from Giant because, well, Walgreens, Rite Aid and CVS were just too tedious to drive to LOL. Now that my headache is gone, I'm going to find some other articles to make drug store comments on. Wish I could tag Jeff so he'd be sure to find it.

i also vote for a real bagel place like einstein's - great bagels and awesome coffee - how about einsteins/starbucks dual place?!

I know that the definition of a heavy user in the fast food segment is 5 or more visits per month.

I know what you are saying. Sometimes we try to think about where we want to eat and it's like over the past several months we've tried all the local fare. I don't consider myself a regular at any place since we use such a "wide rotation".

There IS an outstanding Mexican place off of Philadelphia and Allender, for what its worth.

http://www.tacolovegrill.com/

In my mind, it's every bit as good as any of the small Mexican places you can find downtown. Better then Don Pablos or anything else around the PH/WM area that I'm aware of, and it's not close.

There is also a really awesome mexican place on 7 just past Rosedale. It's a little hole in the wall called Fiesta Mexicana, but they have some seriously awesome food.

Ya Ya Bakery just opened up on Joppa Rd and Harford. Yummm.

As I understand it, Yia Yia's Bakery is a spin off from the Double TT diner chain. Their main location is on Phialdelphia Road by King Avenue. They have opened a couple of sattelite locations, apparently tied in with a florist (I think Raimondi's). The desserts they prepare are really beautiful; unfortunately, the taste does not match the look. In my opinion, their desserts taste and chew like plastic. Stick with Fenwick.
