Bagels'Best

WENDY AND TOM DINE OUT

Another typical bagel restaurant appeared in Needham about a year ago. Bagels' Best is similar to Einstein's, Bruegger's, and other bagel chains, but doesn't compare to our favorite, Finagle A Bagel. It does, however, serve more than bagels. The wide selection of sandwiches can be ordered on a bagel or as a roll-up. Some of the choices even have fancy names like "Salsalito Turkey" (salsa, turkey, mayo, tomato, red pepper) and "Tuscan Sunset" (salami, hot ham, mortadella, provolone cheese and sweet roasted peppers). Also available are the standard salads (tuna, chicken, hommus, grilled chicken) and frozen fruit smoothies. The decor is also typical bagel shop with a few tables placed right next to the counter where orders are placed.
