Store: A small, efficiently situated store. Corresponding small pastry and drink selection - by no means a deal breaker. Unfortunately, the lack of bagel stock does impact scoring. While 2 PM is a late time for a bagel, 2 PM on a weekend is a different story and plenty of stores make bagels well into the afternoon. There were roughly 12 bagels remaining across three varieties. In choosing between whole wheat everything and an everything flagel for this review, I went with the everything flagel. 3

Bagel: As stated above, a flagel. Ironically, a bit on the small side for a flagel. Dry and crumbly. Two-sided toppings with good density but flavorless in the end. No salt. Tasted older overall, which makes sense as the stock seemed to be riding out to the end of the day. 3

Cream Cheese: Fresh and vegetal, with longer, unfurled chunks. Good amount and coverage. No overcheese. The spread suggests better fortune at a different time of day, but one never knows when the auditor arrives. 3.5
