Timothy O'Neal: It's like eating a small, delicious Jewish child.

Alexis Anderson: Bacon-scallion cream cheese on a toasted whole wheat everything bagel.

P Newton: Try their cinnamon toast crunch bagel! Super!

Premshree Pillai: If you want a real bagel with high quality lox and cream cheese, sized for human consumption, this is your place. So good! If you're looking for a one pound sandwich, you will be disappointed.
