A high-traffic bagel counter that works best when you treat it like a single-purpose breakfast run: one toasted bagel build plus a coffee and you’re out. The lox lane is the move when you want a more complete, sit-with-it breakfast without going full brunch.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lox bagel, Bacon egg and cheese, Apple cinnamon cream cheese bagel
