Store: Nice, compact set-up. Decent pastry and chip selection, no space wasted on the walls. All available drinks are located on the staff side of the deli cases - a decidedly inconvenient design choice. Polite staff. Certainly more deli than bagel store. 3.5
Bagel: A large bagel with moderate topping density on both sides. Standard toppings plus salt, with salt at a decent ratio. The bagel was toasted without asking. This of course means any qualities the bagel might have are null beyond crunch and topping. Your standard toasted bagel. 3.25
Cream Cheese: A good amount of scallion in the spread. Too cheese forward for my taste, though not a case of 'overcheese'. Clumpy from refrigeration, which given the toasting advantage is not a good look. Overall though, a good spread if you're going to toast the bagel. 3.5
