Nestled into the charming Hamilton Park neighborhood, Cheech’s Bagels feels like a longtime local favorite: a bright, spirited breakfast spot born from east-coast comfort food.

The design is a warm, contemporary spin on a nostalgic diner: glowing mahogany millwork, vintage photos, a rich wave of terrazzo tile, playful hand-painted signs and hand-crafted stained glass.
