San Antonio is a great town to live in if you are a foodie. There are many great breakfast options, such as breakfast taco, kolaches and donuts. However, even though those are the most popular, there are still great options available if you are looking for a bagel. I am sure that most people will think of Einstein Bros. Bagels, Panera Bread and Dunkin’ Donuts as their only options for bagels in San Antonio, but they better think again.
Bagel Factory
Located just south of the toughest place to get around in San Antonio (US HWY 281 & Loop 1604), you will find Bagel Factory. Even though you will have to fight plenty of traffic to get to this location weekday mornings, it is well worth it to the bagel connoisseur. Some of the great bagel options include Cinnamon Crunch, Orange Cranberry and Chocolate Chip. With spreads such as Raspberry Chipotle, Serrano Pepper and Maple-Walnut-Raisin, you know that you are coming to a bagel shop that is looking to stimulate your bagel enjoyment. One of the best things on the menus are the bagelaches. That blend the kolache, a Texas favorite, with bagel bread. Using only fine sausages and meats, these treats are downright wonderful.

Chicago Bagel & Deli
In Northwest San Antonio lies the bagel job that may also double ask the Hill Country’s best Jewish bakery. Just outside San Antonio’s Jewish enclave, Alon, is this bagel shop that is renowned in town for its bagels. Many of the city’s finest hotels offer their bagels as part of the daily breakfast options. Great thing about Chicago Bagel and Deli is that there are the options of the traditional bagel with a spread or making a breakfast lunch or sandwich, as it still serves as a deli. The bagel spreads are all made on site, just as the bagels. During the Jewish holiday season, you can get challahs, sponge cakes and honey cakes for those occasions. In addition, you always have a chance to get a bagel with lox and sandwiches with pastrami and corned beef.

Tootie Pie Gourmet Cafe
Tootie Pie started out as a baker of fruit pies and now has several restaurants throughout San Antonio. Though the cafes are not as known for their bagels, there are plenty of options available. Certainly, the best option are the cinnamon raisin, french toast and blueberry bagels. Those are the most dessert like options. In addition, there are six spread options and they are made and whipped daily. In addition, you can get one of ten sandwiches with bagel bread. Three of them are specifically made for enjoying with bagel bread, including the cucumber sandwich. The cucumber sandwich is stuffed with cucumber and topped with dill.
In San Antonio, Tootie Pie Gourmet Cafes are located at 16615 Huebner in San Antonio and 5130 Broadway in Alamo Heights.
