Food & Drink Any great Bagels in Buenos Aires? Your tip for USA style bagels?

I saw the great pizza and Empanada threads. Anyone got any tips for good bagel places in Buenos Aires? I haven't been able to find decent bagels. I'm from New York City so I crave a good bagel.
I haven't found anything like back home but these 2 places are decent.

Those two that @Betsy Ross mentioned are decent. This is another one I go to. The owner is Jewish and is a friend of one of my friends.

My all time favorite Bagel place but off the beaten path!

Bagels & Bagels Caseros




I go to these Bagels and Bagels locations which are different than above but not sure if same owner or a franchise.





 
I couldn't find any decent bagels while I was in Buenos Aires. The last day I went for pizza but then my Jewish friend told me about a good place but I didn't have time.


She said they have good bagels there at Togni's Cafe

Sheikbobs is my go to place for bagels. Everywhere else sucks. The others are just bread molded into a round bagel shape! The owner of Sheikobs is a buddy of mine, Jacob. He is actually an expat New Yorker like me. He also sells a mean corned beef which is very good. He sells a bunch of stuff like cream cheese which is decent but nothing like back home.
 
not specifically a Bagel place, but i happened across this place Scarlett Cakes (more of a restaurant/cafe for smoothies and real food) since it's dog-friendly inside and there are tons of mosquitos right now:

...and i got the "Ternera Bagel" which was a pulled-beef warm bagel sandwich with diced onions, nice sauce, and great flavor/size, with some lettuce/tomatoes/balsamic on the side! i'm gonna eat there again tomorrow; prices are $7 USD per person for a big meal and drink combo, but really great quality that has been rare in my 5 weeks of BsAs. staff were really friendly and attentive, which again is rare.

Wow that sounds delicious! I will add that place to my list once I get back in town from my vacation in NYC. I had a similar type of thing a few days ago in Manhattan and it was $22 USD! I like that area a lot near Parque Las Heras.

I love this place! In my hood. Very flavorful food which is not so easy to find sometimes in BA when it comes to comfort food. For a special occasion or date night try Mero. I just went last week. Very good seafood. I will post a review soon. Also, a great value if you like pasta and in the area is Il Quotidian Bar de Pastas which is close and not too expensive. Good pasta at good prices.
