Store: Well furnished contemporary style, wide drink selection, lox on display (though shrink wrapped). Bagel Pros behind the cases, very efficient number system. Selling their own products and some novelty items. Bagel smell present near register. Hits all the boxes a store needs to hit before you start talking intangibles. 4.5

Bagel: Large bagel, very tall. Not hot, but soft enough that the bagel height is not a problem to get in the mouth. Double sided toppings, high density, no salt crystals. Chewy but not laborious. No shell crispiness. Stellar example of the large, hard bagel. 4.25

Cream Cheese: A very refreshing spread, applied at a level that walks between thin and overpowering. Nice supporting scallion presence in both flavor and texture. 4
