OK, on the subject of bagel places for your Mom:
There are several places, but one brand new one that stands out. I think all of them have dairy menus that go far beyond bagels.
Bubba's in the Wesley shopping center
Notable: They have a good wine herring. They also have black-and-white, caramel-and-white and all white cookies, and pareve cheese danishes that are pretty close to the real thing.
Eli's Bagels (near Maple and Union)
Notable: I like the potatoes they serve with their eggs. They have a pizza store attached.
Atrium Bagels
Notable: I happen to like their shakshuka. Lot's of ice cream choices.
Bagel D'Lox
Notable: Good all around. Often go here. Great bakery a couple doors down called Rugalech. A few doors in the other direction you have Tuvia's, one of the zanier Judaica stores in the world. Worth a peek.
The Challah Fairy in New City
Notable: Out of the box. If you like sweet, their flagship challah is amazing. I could see how some people here at Chowhound might like this one the best.
Bagel store in New Square
I don't remember anything special about it, but it is around the corner, I believe, from Tam Eden, a good simple bakery.
The new one that stands out is:
Hava Java in an entrance to Evergreen. Looks very promising. It would be at home in a Whole Foods Market. That's probably the one people will ask you about later.
Happy noshing!
