Jackson Heights, Queens

Ranks & Awards
Store: A rectangular store, longer than wide, with a mash of classic and contemporary styling. Small drink selection and plastic wrapped pastries, Univision news on TV. Blown up photos of deli sandwiches hang on the wall where the menu items would normally be. Pleasant staff. 3.75
Bagel: A large bagel, with standard toppings on one side plus oat. No salt presence to speak of. A texture that exists somewhere in the twilight between fresh and old. If you are reading this now and intend to get a bagel here, I'd get it toasted. But don't tell anyone I said that. It's our secret. 3.25
Cream Cheese: Served cool. Fairly uneven application and thin amount. Very limited scallion presence in flavor, texture or appearance. What is there is a fairly thick spread. When an even bite does present itself, the flavor is decently realized. 3
