Variety of bagels and spreads. They offer sandwiches and more but I've always enjoyed the bagels and selection of cream cheese.

I don’t get here as often as I’d like, but the lox bagel on an everything is always my choice. The coffee/espresso drink options are good too. Everyone is friendly and of course the food items come out pretty quickly.
