When I was a student at Towson University, Saturday mornings (okay, afternoons) often started the same way — with a serious hangover and an even more serious craving for a bagel from Towson Hot Bagels (THB). It was close, convenient, and hands down the best bagel in town.

I grew up in New York, so I take my bagels seriously — crispy on the outside, perfectly chewy inside, and substantial enough to hold a messy breakfast sandwich together. In Baltimore, finding a good New York-style bagel isn’t easy, but THB absolutely nails it.

When I moved downtown, I figured my THB days were over. Thankfully, the Canton location came to the rescue, and I’m happy to report it’s just as good as the Towson original.

Everyone has their own hangover cure, and for my roommate, it’s all about the home fries. THB’s version is golden, crispy, and perfectly seasoned — simple but addictive. They hit the spot every single time.

For me, it’s the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel, every time. The bacon is crisp, the cheese melts into that ideal gooey layer, and the bagel — fresh, soft, and just the right amount of chewy — ties it all together. It’s the perfect comfort breakfast and easily the best bagel sandwich I’ve had in Maryland.
