Bagelmania in Huntington Beach

You can't fool East Coast bagel aficionados. They may not know the cooking techniques, but they know how an authentic bagel should taste. Bagelmania in Huntington Beach has been satisfying these discriminating palates for 15 years, and now it's sharing with next-door neighbor Costa Mesa. The family-owned bagel shop and coffeehouse has opened a second shop, across the street from Orange Coast College. "We bake our bagels in the traditional New York fashion," says owner Christina Glasgow. "Our dough is always fresh, never frozen, and we boil the dough before baking." 2790 Harbor Blvd., Suite 118, Costa Mesa, (714) 435-0333; 8861 Adams Ave., Huntington Beach, (714) 965-5637; w www.bagelmaniacoffeehouse.com
