I'm not really a big bagel person but when I do come here I always get the lox. it tastes fine to me. no different than other places. the staff is pretty friendly. no real complaints about this place but nothing about it really stands out to me. I go here because it's close to where I live. would I recommend this to my friends? I'm not sure. depends how I feel that day I suppose. it is conveniently located next to Starbucks....
