I finally had the pleasure of trying one of my neighborhood bagel shops this morning on a way to an early morning wake-up call event. After having passed by Lox Stock & Bagel many times after visiting the gym. I was feeling in the mood for a morning carbo load and this is the place for that!
I walked inside and was welcomed by the scent of freshly made bagels by a local bagel shop. The staff welcome me with huge smiles, regardless of the early hour. Fresh bagels lined the walls and the second I notice a pumpkin bagel, I knew this was my place. I ordered the pumpkin bagel with pumpkin cream cheese. Turkey day is only a couple days away so I had to embrace the pumpkin season.
The shop itself has a true neighborhood bagel shop feel to it. Locals sit and chat in the chairs and the owners are curious and eager to know their customers. That's half the fun of visiting a bagel shop and I missed that feel to others around town. Since I was in a hurry, I had to be on my way, but they wished me a good day and I couldn't wait to come back again
Oh and the bagel! I enjoyed the bagel in my car and yum it was tasty! The pumpkin bagel and cream cheese both had a strong flavor to it and I decided that a plain bagel with just pumpkin cream cheese or a pumpkin bagel with regular cream cheese would do the trick as well. I'm glad that I've found my new go-to spot for my bagel cravings!
