Though now inseparably connected to NYC, the humble bagel can trace its roots to Central Europe, with many agreeing it was invented by Cracovian Jews after 1496 when King Jan Sobieski lifted the decree that formerly restricted the production of baked goods to the Kraków Bakers Guild. This bit of culinary history is celebrated at 'King Jan's Bagels,' a cafe and breakfast spot in the trendy Jeżyce district, cloned from the original Szczecin location. The menu bursts with a generous selection of bagel sandwiches stuffed with delicious fixings that include breaded seitan, teriyaki eggplant, truffle oil, mascarpone, pulled chicken in curry sauce and more. Choose from 8 different types of bagel baked on-site, including, yes, everything bagels. This place has such a dedicated following they've got their own app, and reservations are definitely recommended.
