Max Bagels (Cape Town)

There are few things that make me happier than a simple dish, made well. Max Bagels do bagels, and they do them really well. I love that they offer a spelt bagel - which is for some reason fine for some wheat-free people like me - but has that hard-to-come-by soft, white bread texture. Their salt beef brisket bagel is spectacular with it's sweet and sour pickle and Dijon mustard. I work in the area, and have to ration myself to one per month to avoid myself from bankruptcy by bagel.
