Mid-Govans's Greg's Bagels, located at 519 E. Belvedere Ave. in Belvedere Square, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the cheap spot to score bagels and more four stars out of 103 reviews. 

Yelp can offer much more information on Greg's Bagels.

"Greg Novik created Greg's Bagels in 1989," according to the history section of the business' Yelp profile. On the menu, look for the crab dip bagel sprinkled with cheese or its dessert bagel topped with chocolate-hazelnut spread, raspberry jelly and sweet cream. There's also a large selection of sandwiches, omelets and fish platters.
