Dress code: Completely casual—come as you are, from gym clothes to morning errands.
Noise level: Low to moderate; mostly takeout traffic and short counter chatter.

Weekday lunch: Minimal wait; 2–5 minutes during peak breakfast rush.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes – several schmears, egg sandwiches, and plain or flavored bagels are vegetarian-friendly.
Vegan options: Limited – plain or everything bagels with peanut butter or jam are your best bet.
Gluten-free options: No gluten-free bagels; cross-contact likely due to shared prep areas.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a sit-down date—it’s a grab-and-go neighborhood stop better suited for casual mornings or quick coffee meetups.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, though there are only a few counter stools and outdoor benches. Seating turns quickly on weekdays.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—families frequent it for quick breakfasts; stroller space is limited indoors but outdoor benches help.
Best For
Better for: Faster service and lower prices than trendier bagel shops; great for everyday locals who value consistency over flash.
Skip if: You’re chasing artisan fermentation or unique spreads—try Bones Bagels nearby for that level of craft.
