I recently visited from New York and New York has some pretty good bagels. But this place ruined New York bagels for me. These are amazing. Unfortunately I couldn't get st viateur so I can't compare to those but these are lighter, sweeter and just overall amazing compared to New York bagels. The sesame bagels are all warm and fresh.. I grabbed a plain one and that was not warm. It was pretty hard. They don't make sandwiches for you so you have to ask for cream cheese on the side and then grab a bench outside and enjoy. Wish I could take a few dozen home with me!!
