Ever since Marmalade Cafe closed up shop at its longtime location of 710 Montana Ave. in Santa Monica, readers have been demanding answers as to what would take over the space.  Construction began quickly and the speculation was wild.  I’d been hearing whispers of the incoming tenant, but now we have proof.  New York’s celebrated H&H Bagels is taking up residence at this location, as confirmed by their website.  H&H began in New York in 1972 and uses the “artisanal water bagel method” that produces results for which fans go crazy and many consider to be the quintessential bagel.  They are in the midst of a national expansion, and this will be their first West Coast store.
