Take a step into fresh bagels

Vidisha Patel

   Barry Bagels has anything you want from bagels to soups and salads. 

  Their bagels are freshly made every day and are sold for $1.59 each. They have eight different types of cream cheeses that you can eat with your bagel too.

   The shop has a variety of options to eat. You could have a bagel with cream cheese or you could have a bagel sandwich. They also have soup, salads, and sides like mac and cheese. If you feel like you want dessert or a drink, they have all that too.

   The Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel with Southwest Jalapeño Cream Cheese was very tasty and flavorful. The bagel paired with the cream cheese made the perfect combination to complement each other. The bagel was not that spicy and would be good for someone to eat if they don’t have a good spice tolerance. You could also eat the jalapeno bagel with butter and it would still taste good.

   The plain bagel with cinnamon swirl cream cheese tasted good. The bagel isn’t so sweet that it tastes like a dessert. When you toast the bagel it pairs wonderfully with the cinnamon cream cheese. It tasted like a warm fall day. This bagel pairing feels lighter than the jalapeno bagel and I felt like I had to eat a little more afterward rather than the jalapeno bagel where I didn’t eat anything afterward.

   I rate Barry Bagels a four-point five out of five stars. I give it that because all of the bagels tasted really good and fresh, but I had to wait a long time for my bagels to come. It depends on the time you reach the shop, but there might be less of a wait. The cream cheeses were all very good and Barry Bagels has a good variety of bagels that go with every single cream cheese flavor they have.

   A bagel with flavored cream cheese is $3.35, ¢10 more than a bagel with plain cream cheese. The bagel sandwiches range from about $7 to $11. Depending on what meat you get the more expensive your bagel sandwich gets. 

   They have multiple shops in Ohio and a few in Michigan. The two closest to Delaware are the one in Dublin, which is around 33 minutes away from Berlin, and the one in Westerville, 25 minutes away.

   The address for the Dublin one is 5760 Frantz Rd, Dublin, OH 43016, and 655 Worthington Rd, Westerville, OH 43082 for the Westerville one. All the Barry Bagel restaurants open at seven in the morning and close at three in the afternoon. For more information visit the Barry Bagels website, www.barrybagels.com.
