Store: A medium sized store, rectangular in shape, mostly made up of customer standing area. Early afternoon visit. Beyoncé and top 40 plays overhead. Digital Signage for menus, lots of pre-made pastry options, moderate drink selection. Pleasant staff albeit a little slow. 3.5

Bagel: A large, soft bagel. Standard garlic, sesame & poppy toppings at solid coverage amount. Very few salt crystals, with slight salt sheen. Aesthetically pleasing for an everything bagel, but no exceptional flavors to speak of. Very standard - for NYC quality. 3.5

Cream Cheese: A number of good spread qualities that somehow don't add up: tangy and fresh, but not flavorful. Large scallion chunks but not crunchy. Good coverage across the bagel but too much applied. Honestly a bit bewildering but not distinctively good or bad in the taste department. 3.5
