Great to know about the store on ave x, Mike. Prospect Perk on Flatbush/Sterling also sells BH’s finest, and that is where I had my first perfect egg bagel since i was a mini-Brooklynite. Another good place is on 14th ave btw 43rd+44th sts in Borough Park (not far from the F @ Ditmas). Used to be called Bagel Spot, but they’ve renovated and I can’t guarantee that the name or quality remains.

The owner worked at a Bagel Store in Gravesend when he was younger. That Bagel Store, Bake City Bagels, is still around (openned in 1977). It’s located on Ave X between East 1st and West Streets. If you like the Bagel Hole try the place where he learned his stuff!!!

Their three-borough bagel survey crowns Bagel Hole in Park Slope as the champ. Our own Brokavore couldn’t agree more, which is why he came to that very same conclusion more than a week ago, sans the help of Serious Eats’ density calipers, flour-particle counts, fleet of ZipCars, and so on. (Not that we’re opposed to overly scientific taste tests around here). Tell it, Brokey… [...]

I go to Bagel Hole all the time, and it’s wildly inconsistent. On the same day, some bagels are perfect and beautiful, others are like a rock, cooked to all hell.
