Store: A deep, rectangular store lit principally by daylight, making for a darker atmosphere. It casts the whole experience with the rougher edges of a classic bagel store. Cash only with a narrow range of amenities outside of generous drink selection. Possesses the sense of an embedded community resource. 3.75

Bagel: A large bagel with a doughy chew and slight crackle to the shell. Beautiful swirls of brown dress the bagel's top side. High density toppings on both sides, standard variety. Salt crystals visible and exist at a moderate ratio to the rest of the toppings. Taste-wise, the saltiness makes an occasional cameo. 3.75

Cream Cheese: Served deli case cool. Even coverage and an overly generous amount. Attractive visually when splitting the bagel, a deep green scallion. Nice size chunks that play a meaningful role in texture. Dairy apparent but no sensation of overcheese. 4
