Bagels, mind you, are not designed to be long lived. In order for us to put before the customer the ultimate bagel they are produced in relatively small batches on an ongoing daily basis. Nothing beats a nice hot bagel fresh from the oven. It is always best to buy bagels fresh, but if not eating them that day, to freeze them. Toast them just out of the freezer, or leave them out at room temperature, uncovered, to thaw for about an hour and then toast, and they'll be almost as good as fresh from the oven.
