Bagels...

...good ones, in the form of readymade sandwiches, at Apollo bookstore cafe in Old Town Tallinn. As far as I know, the first in Estonia since Wayne's Coffee briefly had them after the chain came to town.

Are they good or European good? Tough finding a decent bagel over here.

They are chewy. They taste a little more like a French bread than I would like, but close..close to NY. Maybe they are Montreal bagels since the owner is Canadian.

Apparently they serve bagels at MUSEUM brunch on Saturdays and Sundays (Museum as the trendy lounge-restaurant in Tallinn)

Do Estonians dig bagels?

They have no idea what pizza means for example.

Pizza Americana in the Old Town is vintage Chicago style pizza. I have no complaints. There's also wood-fired Neapolitan place in the wilds of Lasnamäe. No complaints about pizza in Estonia.

I sense bagels are unlikely to be sold in stores, but could be a diggable gourmet item at a few cafes.
