2. The General Muir

Sidle on up the counter at the General Muir to enjoy the pastrami, matzoh ball soup, and authentic bagels at this New York style deli.

The interior is gorgeous, and they’re also opening soon in Sandy Springs in the City Springs complex!

How ’bout some Taylor ham? This low-key, family-owned Alpharetta joint is serving up some of the best bagels in Metro ATL! BB’s bagels are hand-rolled every night and kettle-boiled.

For a lil bit of extra fun, try their rainbow bagel or blueberry bagel!
