I tried America's first superfood bagel and it was...good? Here's our review:
,""gluten-free," or, well, any of the descriptors given to Queen St. Bakery's"Bagels With Benefits." Much like the rest of its inventory, the pro-transparency online bakery's new goods are also vegan, non-GMO, nut-free, and comprised of all-natural ingredients — chia, flax, and oat flour, to name a few. Quite frankly, after taking on this review and reading the slew of buzz words, I was more than little hesitant.
Not to make this about me, but bagels are occasionally the only thing that gets me out of bed in the morning — sinking my teeth into a fluffy everything bagel with butter, whew. Alas, Queen St. Bakery's healthy snacks found their way to my doorstep, and soon into my toaster. Follow along below as I — plus my gluten-free expert co-worker Kate Spencer whom I coaxed into taking a bite — give America's first superfood bagel a try, below.
These bagels currently come in two flavors: Cinnamon Raisin and Chia & Flax Seed. When I gabbed to another co-worker about these healthy gems, they immediately inquired,"So if it's not bread...what is it?" I can't confirm whether or not they fit under the umbrella term of bread, but I can inform you of their ingredient list.

They toast great, are filling, and best of all I feel great after eating them!First, the texture. The outside is more reminiscent of a soft Sarah Lee bagel and not the smooth fresh-baked buns you get at a deli. Both bagels could give the crusts of Dave's Crazy Bread loaf a run for its money.
