Five stars for bagels, coffee and service. This is a small shop located in between buildings. Open, shady and breezy, with seating available.

One suggestion to the food and marketing manager: please do a breakfast bagel (similar to your breakfast brioche) and market your bagels! The demand is really picking up around the city and I had to hunt through photos on Google to find a place that did them well - serious...
