Expert notes

  • They make homemade cream cheeses (bacon herb, scallion, chocolate chip cookie dough, birthday cake, lox spread to name a few), and tofu spreads. In addition to making great bagels, this place also has an additional bakery and food items such as blueberry muffins (a local favorite). Many gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options are available.
