Pastelandia Bakery - DeKalb

As soon as you step through the door, you're greeted by an incredible aroma. Every pastry I've tried has been delightful—not overly sweet, but bursting with great flavor.

For years, I've heard great things about Barb City Bagels, but I typically visit this area in the afternoons. Today, I managed to get there at the right time, and it was a wonderful and delicious experience! My son ordered a turkey bagel for lunch and a breakfast bagel with cream cheese. I opted for an everything bagel, half with plain cream cheese and half with veggie cream cheese, to try both flavors. We also had the French toast and Cinn-Raisin Bagel-Bombs (though they call them bites, we prefer the term 'bombs'—they were fantastic!). Everything was hot and freshly made, and the entire restaurant smelled amazing, filled with the aromas of baked goods and coffee. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the staff was excellent!

I was feeling hungry while searching for a place to eat or something to take out. Since I've been living in DeKalb for about three years, I had just come from a hair appointment nearby when I stumbled upon this place, which had a tempting selection of coffee. I decided to order a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese, along with a turkey sandwich. While I was there, I spotted the cutest mug, which I absolutely loved. I'm excited to return soon to sit down and enjoy some hazelnut coffee along with another bagel!

The woman and I decided to go for lunch, and we gave this place a try. Actually, she had tried her bagels and liked them. It was my first time. It was a strange time between breakfast and lunch. My wife is a breakfast man, I'm more of a lunch. So she had breakfast and I had lunch. She had a bag of Sante Fe Eggwich, and I had her 3 cheeses Roast Beef on a whole bagel. MMMMMMMMM. Very good, the bagels were delicious, and the sandwiches were good. I also grabbed a cookie and a bag of chips. Drinks were the usual with many special teas, and many coffee options. Really good things at reasonable prices.

Super helpful people, great selection, delicious treats. Highly recommend.
