Sunrise Bagel & Deli

I moved just down the street from Sunrise a little over a year ago and this morning was my 1st time there. I'm SO MAD at myself for not coming sooner. These are THE BEST bagels I've ever had in my life!!!

First thing to note...they are cash only! Secondly, I'll definitely be going again.

A friend of mine that lives over an hour away from Kingston drives to get 2 dozen bagels here every couple months. She wraps and freezes them which is what I intended to do. For her to drive over an hour to get bagels, I figured it was a place I had to check out. First time I've ever seen a pumpernickel raisin product. So those were first ones I had added to the bag. Gotta say, I'm sadly disappointed in the flavor. I love pumpernickel but these barely have any pumpernickel flavor and not many raisins. However...the size of these bagels is crazy awesome. They are also so fresh tasting, chewy, and then super soft on the inside. I can see why they are so popular and well liked.
I have since tried a plain bagel and a cinnamon raisin. Cinnamon raisin lacking in cinnamon flavor and raisins. I know their sandwiches are very popular and plan on trying one next time I go. I still have other flavors to try like the Garlic, Everything, Salt, and regular pumpernickel. I really wanted to try their blueberry but they were out of them. While some flavors might be lacking in taste, I still have to give 4 stars just based on the size, texture, chewy/softness, freshness and price. Under $12 for a dozen fresh, homemade bagels!!! That's fabulous.
I went around 12:30 on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't incredibly busy. Busy but not overwhelming. If I were ordering a sandwich or going during the morning, I suspect the wait would have been longer. But just grabbing a couple dozen bagels was quick and easy.
One last thing...if you are vegan they unfortunately do not have any bagels that are vegan friendly. I messaged them and asked.

These are the best bagels in the entire world. A favorite for years. Huge in size but still just the right consistency and density. Yesterday I was flying back to California after a visit to Kingston, so I ordered 14 bagels and put them in my carry-on . . . they're now in my freezer here in Cali. SO GOOD!!

Best Bagels in town! Super inexpensive, and if you call ahead, you can skip the line and waiting. Super friendly staff. Excellent food.

So delicious we were in town for a week and ate there three times! The freshest, biggest, chewiest bagels I've ever had.
