Upon entering Saratoga Bagels, customers are greeted by the wonderful aroma of baked goods waiting to be devoured and the great selection of bagels and sandwiches visible through the glass.

Some of the shop’s best-selling items include the Asiago cheese bagel, the Jalapeño bagel and the chocolate bagel priced between $4-6.

Saratoga Bagels provides a quick and delicious meal, especially to students looking for a nearby lunch place off-campus: The establishment is located on Saratoga Sunnyvale Road, just past Safeway.

The portions are big enough to keep to be filling, the bread is fresh-made, there is a variety of  items to choose from and the prices are fairly low. A typical order of a ham and cheese sandwich costs about $6. The service is also fairly quick given the number of students that line up during lunchtime. 

After receiving an order, a ravenous student can find a  welcoming, albeit small, cafe-like area with a few tables. And if time is short, the staff will gladly make the order to-go.

Sophomore Ayush Aggarwal is a fan.

“Saratoga Bagels serves the best thing since sliced bread: sliced bagels,” he said.

Because of its extraordinary food and spectacular service, the restaurant rightfully deserves the title: “Best Place to Eat in Saratoga.”
