Store: Very small space that makes the most of it with a contemporary wood build out. Prominently displayed lox in a very small deli case has great sight appeal. Small drink selection but unique. Unfortunately they stack their bagels in the hopper. I wanted to tell him that's no good but I wasn't sure where my place was in that - like a nature photographer watching a zebra foal struggle in the mud. 3.75

Bagel: Very soft, medium-large bagel. Toppings on two sides with a good density. I wanted to like the pillowy softness more than I did; it lacked a doughy substance. No salt in the topping mix, with no real flavor as well. Like a high quality supermarket bagel. 3.25

Cream Cheese: Served cool and well applied. Almost all points come from originality. Very vegetal in taste and texture, and flavored like plain yogurt. Not a particularly great cream cheese, however. 3.5
