"When it comes to the bagels, I appreciate the variety they offer, and they make them very large! While a larger size generally means better value, I often find that the bagels here are undercooked and not shaped very well. The crust isn't always sufficiently browned, and I sometimes wonder if the inside is fully cooked. After cutting the bagels in half, they usually end up being too thick to fit in a standard two-slice toaster. Despite these issues, the bagels have a wonderful chewy texture, and I just pop them in the toaster at home until they're nicely browned.
As for the muffins, I typically don't go for sweets at a bagel shop, but on one occasion, we tried a four-pack of their jumbo muffins and were pleasantly surprised. They make for a great treat if your family isn't as into bagels and wants a bit of variety. We had a batch of blueberry muffins, which unfortunately lacked enough fruit—definitely hit or miss.
Regarding the cream cheese, we've tried the garden veggie and honey cinnamon flavors. The garden veggie features a mix of onion, carrot, and maybe some chives; the veggies are subtle but contribute a nice savory flavor. The honey cinnamon offers a sweet and tangy option. I like to spread the garden veggie on one half of my bagel and the honey cinnamon on the other for a delightful mix of savory and sweet. I'll likely return in the future to sample more flavors."
