This was our second visit so my review will be "a tale of two cities". We dined "in" on our first visit ordering breakfast sandwiches. The first was an everything sandwich including fluffy eggs, ham & beacon and cheese. Messy to eat but very tasty. My Bride ordered the egg, beacon and cheese bagel, hold the cheese. Needles to say, the special order stumped the chef because it came with the unwanted cheese. The mistake was promptly corrected. The bagels were fresh and tasty!
Second visit was a take out order of of three different bagels. The Asiago Cheese bagel tasted more like American cheese and the bagel was underdeveloped; more like a doughnut. The cinnamon raisin bagel was equally underdeveloped and lacked a hint of cinnamon. The third was a wheat bagel and it consistently met the others...under developed.
Not sure if it's the simulated "Brooklyn" water or a bad chef day but the bagels today were pretty lousy. Not likely to return as Poppy's Bagels reflect the NY we remember!
