Store: A wide selection of cream cheeses, impressive lox options, gluten-free bagels and all the fish salads. Lots of employees, Sublime playing over the speakers. High quality experience, ambiance similar to a Long Island store, perhaps influenced by its proximity to the Nassau border. 4.5

Bagel: Still fresh at noontime due to heavy store rotation. Standard everything toppings at light density, two-sided. Virtually no salt crystals present but saltiness is cooked in at an appropriate level. Steller example of a bagel that doesn't go hard on toppings yet still distinguishes itself as an everything bagel first, not a plain bagel with sparse toppings. 4.5

Cream Cheese: Generous cream cheese portion served at fluid temperature. Just slightly messy in a way that demonstrates quality. Extremely fresh with no sensation of overcheese. Scallions are chopped at a good size to provide texture, and distributed at an even ratio. 4.5
