Store: Presented in a clean, contemporary style that works product organization into the aesthetic. Large drink selection, including beer, with slick looking fridges. Playful, friendly, fast staff. Impressive salad bar. The kicker are the bags of babka below the register counter as impulse buys, all neatly arranged. It took considerable effort of will not to buy one. 4.5

Bagel: An extra large, doughy bagel served fresh but not hot. Standard toppings on one side with a higher ratio of poppy than typical. A deep brown shell but not much of a crackle on bite that would typically come with that coloring. Salt visually present in crystal form but limited taste presence. Perhaps some missed opportunity here, but still very respectable. 3.75

Cream Cheese: Served deli case cold. Even coverage and generous application, possibly too generous. Dairy forward and somewhat glommy, likely from the deli case chill. The spread's strength comes from it's scallion presence: thick cut, high amount and great texture play. 3.75
