Towards the end of last semester I began to work at a bagel place in Burlington Vermont where I go to school. While I do adore the atmosphere and my co-workers the best bit about working at Feldman's is certainly the bagels. For every shift that I work I get to make a bagel sandwich- and I've really been trying to get creative.

While most of the time I go with a more savory option, lately my sweet tooth is kicking in. I've been addicted to Feldman's Maple Walnut cream cheese, but even that won't satisfy. In addition I recently took a trip home to visit my family and visited my favorite Bagel place, Bagels etc. I am obsessed with their Blueberry bagels.

All of this has taught me that Sweet Bagels are super underrated and f**king amazing and everyone should be giving them a chance. If you're not already convinced, here are some more reasons to support the Sweet Bagel movement.
1. Blueberry Bagels

Probably my favorite kind of bagel, Blueberry Bagels are sweet delicious and usually a really pretty blue or purple color- what's not to love! Top it off with some cream cheese for a great start to the day.
2. Maple- Cinnamon Cream Cheese

Delicious and relatively easy to make, for a great recipe try this one. It's a personal favorite of mine.
3. Strawberry Bagels

Odd, I know, but trust me they're crazy delicious. Please note that plain cream cheese probably goes best, I truly do not recommend strawberry cream cheese on top of a strawberry bagel (but that's just one girl's opinion).
4. Honey Cinnamon Cream Cheese

Honey Cinnamon cream cheese can literally top any bagel. It's the perfect mixture of sweet to top any savory bagel. My personal favorite is throwing it on top of a nice sesame seed bagel.
5. Funfetti Bagels

Funfetti frosting is one of the staples of my childhood so when I heard you could make a cream cheese spread I had to try it. Add some food coloring to your bagel dough to really make it fun- it's pretty much a unicorn bagel.

6. Cherry Cream Cheese

While I may not be the biggest cherry fan in the world, I've heard cherry cream cheese can actually be pretty good. Next time I have a day off work I'm planning on sitting down and making this recipe- it has pretty rave reviews so maybe my cherry stance will change after.
7. Cake Batter Bagels

Cake batter itself is amazing, and so is the ice cream, so bagels should be just as good right-- CORRECT! They're completely delicious and not that hard to make- therefore there is no excuse to not try them.
8. Pistachio Cream Cheese
 |

Pistachio ice cream is pretty good- pistachio cream cheese is crazy delicious!
9. Pumpkin Bagels

I really don't love Pumpkins but pumpkin flavored things are delicious. Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin
10. Cinnamon Raisin Cream Cheese
 |
| countrycleaver.com |
Pretty much everyone knows that cinnamon raisin bagels are a thing, but have you ever tried cinnamon raisin cream cheese? If you haven't, you're truly missing out. It's the perfect sweet spread to add to any bagel. For a great recipe click here- not only is it delicious but low fat (not necessarily meaning healthy).
