Ranks & Awards
Store: Contemporary store in the distressed wood style. Moderate drink selection, friendly staff. Bagels prominently displayed, attractive spread layout. The WKND plays on the radio. Friendly, efficient staff. A complete experience. 4
Bagel: Large bagel with a small middle hole. Moderate topping density, standard garlic/sesame/poppy, with sesame the dominant ingredient. Salt ratio low but not much missed. A chewy bite at first with some light crackling. Tough but not tiring. Seemingly from earlier in the day but still retains the hallmarks of freshness. 4
Cream Cheese: Served cool. No clumps to the spread. A fresh and clean sensation. Visual pops from the scallion but not much texture contribution. Dairy neutral, no undue dairy ripeness. Applied evenly and at good amount. 4
