#7 in Staten Island #98 in NYC

Store: Classic bagel store aesthetics tucked inside the Heartland Village Shopping Center. A fairly small, square shaped set-up with moderate drink selection, loads of cookie options and fun bagel signage. "Kings and Queens" by Ava Max plays over the radio. Shelving is nicely set-up around the store to aid in customer flow. A young, pleasant crew working the store. 4

Bagel: A large bagel with standard, two-sided toppings. A nice, bulbous shell suggests handmade origins. The chew is tougher than I would expect at this time of day, in a way that suggests age. Topping resides primarily on the flat bottom on the bagel. Salt crystals are evident visually but are not a huge taste factor. 3.75

Cream Cheese: Served room temperature. Good amount provided but a messy application, necessitating lots of napkins. Chunk scallion with nice visual appeal. Dairy forward, veering into overripe on odd bites. Smooth constitution and clearly made with intention. 3.75
