Great spot without all of the frills. I'm a southerner, apparently I don't know bagels. But... my Northern friends and wife allow me some street cred. Poppyseed is the quintessential norther, New York specifically, bagel store. The staff are quickly taking orders, getting customers in and out quickly.
The shop is perfectly sized with a refrigerated counter of baked goods and flavored creamed cheeses with a variety of flavors of bagels staked on top. The only downside is the condensation that builds up on the display case of the creamed cheeses that doesn't allow clear view of the flavors.
