Always friendly, fast and of course local. Bagels come laden with cream cheese, twice the thin layer Einstein paints on theirs. Fun fact: I like lox spread, and theirs tastes great, but the bright pink shade of theirs always made me wonder a bit - until I watched them making it in-store one morning. Just a huge stainless-steel bowl full of whipped cream cheese and a ton of smoked salmon chunks being vigorously mixed together. The counter lady advised me they add food color only to keep track of what's what. So yep, the spreads are homemade.
