Walk into Rohnert Park's New York Bagel, and you just might find yourself wondering if you've been somehow transported to the Big Apple itself. Regulars say the bagels here are so authentic that it tastes like you're eating in an old-fashioned New York bagel shop.

Go for a plain water bagel if you want the most traditional experience, but feel free to dress up your bagel, too. Yelp reviewers recommend the pesto bagel toasted and topped with a bit of cream cheese, or the blueberry bagel if you prefer something sweet. During the morning rush, you'll find plenty of patrons customizing their orders into egg and cheese sandwiches, while later in the day, the kitchen starts getting more requests for sandwiches piled high with fixings like turkey, lettuce, and tomato. Whatever you choose, you can expect to get a quality bagel fresh from the oven, as this place proudly bakes everything in-house.
