The Bagel....on Stratfield Road in Fairfield....awesome bacon/egg/cheese, delicious coffee (iced coffee too!), & terrific service! It's a "hidden gem" here in town which is embraced by the neighborhood :)

Love Stratfield, not lovin' the Stratfield Bagel for awhile now. Bagels are not fresh, and the girl who works there can be testy (the young guy is really nice, though). Wish they would step it up many notches. My vote is for Bagel King on Black Rock Tpke!

The bagels at Billy's Bakery are much better than the Bagel, as Billy's make them fresh on site. The Bagel is not and they are pleasant there but Billy's is more delicious and you have a lot of other delicious croissants and scones as well.

No bagel in the name, but Doughnut Inn on Blackrock Tpk has great bagels! Even though I found out they don't sell cream cheese separately -- and they also didn't know what Lox are. The bagels are steamed so they are crusty on the outside and very soft on the inside.

If it wasn't nominated during the nomination period, it didn't make the cut for this year's Readers' Choice. We'll be running this at least annually, if not bi-annually, so there's a chance for businesses that didn't make this time around to be included next time.

I would just like to say good luck to all bagel shops! But the Bagel on Stratfield rd is by far the best in fairfield no one around can compete with there big breakfeast sandwiches. They give the best they can offer.The bagels are fresh all day every day! So in all I kindly disagree!!

The contest was for best bagel shop (bagel) not bagel sandwich. No one can dispute the best of all breakfast sandwiches (and they have good bagels) goes to Country Cow Deli on Blackrock Tpk. The Bagel does not even come close -- been there done them all!!!!!!!

Cinnamon Raisin? Really? You can't put cream cheese on that. Good for the kids I guess.

Atticus, Ralph Arnone is next scheduled to appear in court on July 1st, at which point he is…Read More expected to enter a plea. As an aside, one isn't supposed to go to bed and wake up still angry at the same thing, day in, day out, week in, week out, month in, month out... I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I care deeply about firefighters and I'm genuinely concerned about you. You were exposed to a lot of chemicals in your career. You may have some endocrine system damage or something causing an electrolyte disorder. This stuff starts out with things like joint pain and minor psychological implications but, it gets much, much worse. Get to the doc. Maybe you're just a spicy guy, maybe Ralph hurt you in some terrible way, or maybe you are sick and as a result, you'll be facing a much shortened a painful life. Honestly, I'm not trying to give you a hard time or pick a fight.

Atticus Fich June 19, 2013 at 06:01 am

Well thanks for your concern Creeky. But at my age I cant say I have lived a shorten life. As for…Read More chemicals...well as most of the posters here on this rag say, firemen do nothing 99.9% of the day so I guess the on chemical exposure would be to the big comfy leather chairs in the dayroom. Why do you care anyway Creeky? In your previous posts about me you said, don't feed to trolls. You are not honest Creeky. Take your fake concern and false "honesty" and waste it on someone else. Not trying to give you a hard time, those are your comments about me. Where did you get the info on Ralphy?

Atticus, review your own posts. It isn't trolling. It's a vendetta. If you think I'm dishonest,…Read More fine. I'm not going to try to speak rationally with someone whom is irrational. Why do I care? Because I've seen how much care fireman are capable of, and how much they give of themselves. It's respect and karma. As far as where I got the info, it's publicly available. If you wanted my help in how to find it yourself, perhaps you shouldn't have attacked my character. You are on your own now.
