Golden Bagel El Cajon

No gold medal for golden bagels. Being from new york, i know three things: good pizza, good sandwiches, and good bagels. i love a good, fat, fluffy, slighty chewy bagel. that hole in the center of the bagel should be small. the bagel can't look like a flat tire. golden bagel's bagels were a little to skinny fo my liking, and there was way too much extra space in the center. that being said, i did like the options you could order. the cream cheese melt sparked my interested and i ended up going with that. i order an everything bagel with lite veggie cream cheese, swiss, tomato and avocado. even though they got my order wrong (regular cream cheese instead of lite veggie and no tomato) it was still very good. i noticed the missing tomato before i got in my car and drove home, so they were able to fix the mistake, but the cream cheese mix up was a disappointment. normally i'm very understanding when someone messes up an order (hey, we're only human after all), but i repeated it for the guy at the counter twice. all in all, it was a good breakfast, and i'll probably be back, but i don't think i'll be craving golden bagel anytime soon.
