"The location is as unpretentious as its name - but this chef knows exactly who she is, what she's offering, and her capacity for fresh, original, and uncompromising food. Doyle creates a handful of rotating bagel types, baking them herself from freshly made dough starting in the wee hours of the morning. Using signature boiling/baking techniques, she produces popular flavors including jalapeño cheddar, red chili parmesan, and sweet versions like orange cranberry, blueberry, and cinnamon crunch."
"Leña bagels appear for 2.5 hours per week (while supplies last), and eager customers line up well before doors open. On a recent Saturday morning, I was fortunate enough to taste every available version of those chewy, crusty, slightly smoky circles of wonder. Here are some insights from Doyle herself, and how she won the heart of a small Southern town far from Naples or New York."
