Contact them directly and see if they'll ship to you.

Good luck.

As they strip the costs and ingredients out of everything, we are offered Zombie Foods.

Aldi, and Giant, Walmart bakeries just can't cut it.

and keep them in your freezer until you use them.

The problem is good bagels don’t have a lot of preservatives in them and they
go stale PDQ. I bet Miami might have some good bagels.

I’ve never tried them though & they are a bit pricey.

The big, puffy bagels most places sell these days are
so disappointing. The dough is made with genetically modified wheat which has ~ 14% more gluten, and hence the puffiness. When you squeeze them they almost squeak! - So NOT an authentic bagel!

- Hope u find some good ones! 🤗

They do groceries but I don’t know about bagels.

in Opa Locka, Florida. Have you tried a local bakery?

tiendas, but the bread is just white generic American(ized) foam rubber bread. There are no bread bakeries, no pastry shops and only one cake baker.

in Kennesaw or Alpharetta?

And just a suggestion — casting aspersions on this area as a “cultural desert” probably won’t make you many friends. I’ve found that each part of this country has certain foods they prefer. The south has some of the best biscuits and patty cornbread you’ll find anywhere.

and I know that most folks in this area don't care for European or non American bread. I love the food in this area, esp. beans and cornbread, greens, homegrown tomatoes and all that stuff. BUT, this is a cultural wasteland--no movie theaters, no high-speed internet except poor-quality wi-fi and the municipal water supply contains PFAS chemicals which have even contaminated the ground water including my well. This area is the reddest part of the whole State of Georgia, probably the whole country. And they don't know what makes a good bagel. Killer Dave doesn't either.

to disparage the south that I sometimes have a knee-jerk reaction to defend it. But regional recipes make this country interesting. There are so many northerners in Atlanta, you’d think some bakery would offer a decent bagel.

lump all people from the south in the ignorant hillbilly or tRUMP camp. It is not easy living here even though my roots are deep. I only moved here 20 years ago after living all over the map, where I developed a taste for real bagels and artisan breads. I still love the food of the South, tho.

I live about 60 miles from the nearest Whole Foods, but might be able to squeeze in a trip occasionally.

Folks around here consider pastries to mean only doughnuts, cupcakes, and luxury custom chocolate chip cookies.

For your chuckles - here's an unusual article re authenic bagels in a cultural hot-spot (non-desert) on the West Coast. Yes, even there, the writer has problems finding this bread form. Enjoy, and hope you find your ideal bagel vendor in Georgia. On that, I cannot advise.

Other articles and recipes if you search for bagels on the site you land on above.

one day to bring back a couple dozen for the freezer!!!

I can't call it a cultural desert, there are too many really vibrant cultures here for that.

What I can say is that frozen Lender's bagels in the supermarket come close to what I got in NYC and Boston. They're the archetype of the cement donut, toasting beautifully and not getting soggy no matter what you put on them.

Otherwise, it was local bagel shops that produced bagel shaped soft rolls.
