The Croustilles de Bagel, available in half dozen or dozen options, offer a perfect crunchy snack that pairs wonderfully with a cold beer or a glass of wine. It's easy to see why this place is considered "La Maison de L'Original."

From my visits, I recommend trying the mixed boxes to sample a range of items and soaking up the community vibe while indulging in these original creations.
