There is a reason why -- despite many accusations of rude behavior on the part of staff -- bagel corner has been in business for decades. The freshly-made bagels are great, and they have just about every kind of flavored cream cheese you can imagine. There is a refrigerator containing common breakfast beverages, such as orange juice, as well as higher-end options to add to your order. And at the counter where you pay, there is a modest array of bakery items -- brownies, cookies, muffins, danish -- all of which look home-made. Payment can be made via cash, credit card or debit card, and the line (expect one!) moves quickly so you should probably have some idea of what you want before you get there. That said, specific flavors of bagels, twists, and mini-bagels go very quickly. For the best selection -- get there early.... REALLY EARLY. Otherwise, you may find yourself making unintended compromises. As for the staff, the friendliest ones (to me) seem to be those manning the register. Maybe it's because they have a tip jar prominently displayed in front of them, or maybe they just happen to be the most engaging. Either way, it isn't a restaurant and I don't go to socialize, so I don't really care. If you're looking for good bagels, this is definitely a solid spot.
