Bagel Inn is the only Central Mass. bakery to make the cut

The Bagel Inn (Facebook)
The Bagel Inn in Holden was recently named one of the best 10 bagel shops in Massachusetts.
The ranking was done by Best Things Massachusetts.
The Bagel Inn was the only bagel shop west of Framingham to make the state's top 10 list.
"Bagels are made from scratch at the Bagel Inn," Best Things Massachusetts writes. "Their bagel sandwiches use only additive-free meats, too. Those with dietary restrictions will love their gluten-free bagels."
John and Joan Laracy founded The Bagel Inn, which will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2024.
