One thing we like about Leroy’s is that all the ingredients to make your breakfast sandwich are fresh every day, and their menu is simple enough to pick a bagel that tastes great. The flavors they offer include spinach parmesan, rosemary, jalapeno, and asiago, and they also offer gluten-free flavors that change daily. The must-try sandwich combinations include the El Diablo with tomato, jalapeño, lettuce, pepper jack cheese, and turkey, and the Caprese, which is topped with plain cream cheese prosciutto, basil, and tomato.
