Bagel🥯 Coffee-flavored ☕cheese at the trendy bagel shop

Every time I go to Smor for their cardamom rolls, I pass by this popular bagel shop—and every time, there’s a long line of white folks waiting. I’ve always known they have espresso cream cheese, and I keep saying “I’ll try it next time!” But every time I’m in the area, I end up going for Smor’s cardamom rolls instead. 😂 On Memorial Day, I went to Smor only to find out the cardamom rolls had sold out ages ago. No choice but to turn around and head to that bagel shop nearby! 🍴 Tompkins Square Bagels They have three locations—two in the East Village and one near Union Square. I ordered a cinnamon bagel with espresso cream cheese. The cinnamon bagel was a good size, chewy with that nice bite—definitely a solid NYC bagel 👍! But maybe because the espresso cream cheese was so bold, I could barely taste the cinnamon. They slathered on so much espresso cream cheese—no skimping here! It tasted like sweet coffee candy, with a noticeable coffee kick, but not overly sugary. You could tell they put a lot of coffee in it—I low-key worried I’d be up all night after eating it. ☕️😅 Overall, it’s a great spot! The bagel’s exactly my type—I’ll definitely be back to try the sun-dried tomato cream cheese next time. #NYCFood #NYC #NYCDaily #NYCStudyAbroad #NYCWeekend #Bakery #NYCBagel #NYCBagelShop #Bagel
