"The variety of bagels and cream cheese flavors available was impressive, alongside a diverse menu of other items and pastries. I found the prices for both food and coffee to be quite reasonable. I also appreciated that the restroom is for customers only, which is definitely a plus. The staff members, especially the men behind the counter, were extremely friendly. Even during the late morning rush when customers were no longer hurrying to work, the place still had a lively atmosphere. A couple of days after my first visit, I returned to enjoy a bagel with cream cheese, and once again, the same counter attendant was delightfully pleasant. He treated all the customers warmly, which I noticed while I waited at a table before ordering. He kindly offered me a spot to sit inside since it was particularly windy and chilly that day. I took another look at the bagel selection and found pumpernickel at the very bottom. I had my heart set on trying the Garlic Herb Cream Cheese, so I went for it. I opted not to toast the bagel because it already had a wonderful crunch on the outside. The inside was perfectly moist and delicious. There was a generous amount of cream cheese to spread all over the bagel, and I ended up finishing the whole thing. The Garlic Herb Cream Cheese was exceptional! At $5.17, it was absolutely worth it. I couldn't have asked for a better brunch experience! I wholeheartedly recommend Bagel Express II. Don't let their overall two-star rating dissuade you; it doesn't reflect my experience at all. Plus, they maintain a clean restroom, which is always a bonus!"
