#46 in Brooklyn #133 in NYC

Store: Long, rectangular space, tables stacked from COVID, narrow at the counter area. Wide selection of drinks, very limited pastry section, big salad bar. Quick on the order, confusingly slow on the service. NY1 playing on the TV. 3.5

Bagel: Medium-large bagel, not served hot or particularly fresh. Standard toppings, very strong density, good salt crystal representation. Middle of the road chewing toughness. No hole to speak of. Redeemed by its handling of toppings, but otherwise unremarkable. 3.5

Cream Cheese: Served cooler, not cold. Well-applied. Very dairy-forward, not clumpy. Very strong scallion representation, large and crispy. On the wrong side of a dairy reminder for my taste, which robs it of freshness sensation. 3.75
