Unlocking the Mystery: Why Everyone at the Bagel Shop Sips Iced Coffee - What's the Secret?"

Classic everything bagel with egg salad from Brooklyn Bagel & Company

I dove into a classic everything bagel with creamy egg salad, nearly choking with delight. A quick gulp of iced coffee saved the day, and suddenly, everything felt just right.

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon as my friend and I strolled over to Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Company for a nostalgic lunch treat. The bagel joint held a special place in our hearts from our FIT days, when we'd swing by for our favorite cinnamon raisin bagels with scallion cream cheese. However, feeling a tad adventurous that day, we opted for the classic combo of an everything bagel with egg salad. With the first bite, I fell in love with the flavors of the egg salad bagel from my first bite with the harmonious blend of seeds, onions, and garlic in the creamy egg salad. Devouring the bagel eagerly, I found myself quickly reaching for my iced coffee to quench the sudden thirst that overcame me.

Surprisingly, when we devour carb-loaded bagels, our bodies get thirsty due to how they process all that energy. The carbs turn into glycogen and need water for the transformation, making us reach for drinks like iced coffee to cool down and quench the thirst. It's like a fun little dance between bagels and beverages, with cafes in the know about our need for that icy refreshment to go with our favorite treats.
