#3 in Staten Island #63 in NYC

Store: Very good size for a bagel establishment - roomy but not cavernous. Large selection of drinks. Bagels well displayed for selection, in front of the attendant rather than behind so you can see. Fast service. Presentation and variety in the cold display a little lacking. 4

Bagel: Large bagel, served warm. Very soft inside, slight crackling is the shell. Toppings unevenly applied and light; not always a problem for a bagel if the base product is solid. In this case it is. 4

Cream Cheese: Well applied, smooth and creamy. Great temperature. Scallion isn't enough in the conversation to elevate the spread to the next tier. 4
