mmm-yoso!!! is the name of this food blog. Writing of posts is shared by three friends. Today, Cathy is writing because Kirk and Ed(from Yuma) are busy tying up loose ends.
Yes, I've written about P.L. Bagel a few times, 2012, 2013 and most recently in 2014. It's a regular stop, because it's good..and on the way to a place where The Mister and I can take a peaceful walk.
Prices for a 'Breakfast Special' with a coffee have gone up by 25¢ since 2014, which is minuscule for this family owned and run business. A plain bagel (as well as a bialy) is still 95¢.
The mini bagels are now 50¢
Here's a size comparison. That's a Bialy on the left, only available on weekends. I enjoy the baked chewy dough, which has a bit of chopped onion in the center top.
This was a nice breakfast, with eggs and cheese.
The salt bagel (as are all the bagels here) is covered on both sides with toppings. Not many bagel shops make salt bagels anymore. The bagels here are a 'proper' size- not crazy large nor crazy fluffy.
We've enjoyed visiting this local longstanding business (which makes a great product!).
P.L. Bagel 3704 Voltaire Street, Suite 107 San Diego 92107 (619) 223-4788 open daily 6a.m.-1 p.m.
Our regular walks take us to Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, where we enjoy the overcast mornings and peaceful quietness.
Earlier this year, the only market on Catalina Boulevard (the main road on The Point) re-opened as a new location for Jensen's Foods (it had been a Fresh and Easy before that chain left the U.S.). Jensen's slogan is "Make Every Day an Occasion".
If you have been paying attention, it is Hatch Chile season and Jensen's is one of the many participating roasters (the prices for Hatch Chiles here are less than other locations).
There are many interesting items at Jensen's, including a by the pound salad bar and (at least on weekends) a breakfast bar. It's quite a nice store. This is the only San Diego location and we are taking advantage of the offerings. (It's been in business since 1940!).
Another nice weekend 'staycation'. Thanks for reading!

Hey Cathy - Jensen's looks interesting.

Jensen's has our attention, Kirk. The footprint is small, but the selection and quality are remarkable. It's an old fashioned neighborhood market.

I've been curious about Jensen's, plus the bialy at PL Bagels.I've only had the bialy at Arizmendi Bakery in SF.

Oh, Jensen's is nice, cc; you'll like it-not as expensive as it looks. The bialy you had at Arizmendi Bakery looked so good with all the seeds, etc..the one at P.L.Bagel is wonderful in it's simplicity. The whole Point Loma area has treasures.
