Store: Medium-sized, rectangular store. Unusual, curved walls with lego-style nubs suggest perhaps the store was something else previously. Crisp signage, no emphasis on bagels or spreads. Virtually no pastry options and limited drink selection. Fast, friendly service. 3.5

Bagel: Large bagel. Toppings one side only, no salt. A dominant garlic covering, which is the way to go if you're going to have one seasoning reign supreme. A soft bagel, but not hot. It's nice for me personally I'm essentially eating a garlic bagel, but as it's meant to be an everything the score takes a slight hit.. 3.75

Cream Cheese: A cool, thick whip with even application and good quantity. A crisp, eraser-sized scallion chop lends good texture. Some passing glances at overcheese but very solid otherwise. 3.75
