The Great Bagel & Coffee Co

Who can resist bagels? Everything about them is so perfeeeect. I had my first bagel experience back in 2009 in New York, when my sister forced the whole family to eat them constantly, and ever since then, I've been in love.

On Saturday, after a stressful morning of SAT testing, I had the rare oppurtunity to go to Macquarie Centre next door for lunch. We immediately decided on bagels for a quick lunch! The cafe is located right outside the Macquarie cinemas. We were there quite early, so the cafe was almost empty. Service was good and efficient and the waiter was really friendly! We ordered a small sized curly fries as the large size seemed huge, and was almost double the price, so we didn't see  the point in ordering it. (small was around $3-$4, large around $7) There's a choice of either chicken or Moroccan salt, and we got Moroccan to try something new. Definitely a must try!

For the bagels, I ordered the turkey, cranberry, avocado, brie cheese and cucumber filling, with a cheese bagel outside. You can pick your own filling and choose your own type of bagel- cheese, semame, herbs, blueberry etc. It was really nice, though it was slightly undertoasted. Oh well.
