Rebecca ordered a light-colored sesame bagel with cream cheese.  Bryan got a well-toasted everything bagel with just a little bit of cream cheese.  Here's how we rated it:

Taste: 3
Atmosphere: 4
Service: 5
Cost: $5.00

While we liked the taste of our bagels, we didn't feel that they were outstanding.  Rebecca, however, was definitely more impressed with the taste of her bagel than Bryan was with his.  We were extremely impressed with the cleanliness and good layout of the store, although it was very small with little or no room to wait for your bagels, depending on how busy the store is at a given time.  Also, there were no inside seats.  There were a few tables outside, though.  We were extremely impressed with the service we received.  Our server and one other person in the back appeared to be the only two people working when we were there, and our server handled the busy store very well while still getting the customers exactly what they wanted.  She searched almost the entire sesame bagel bin for a light-colored bagel, which Rebecca really appreciated.  She also took care that Bryan's bagel was the way he wanted it, asking him whether it was well-toasted enough and putting only a little cream cheese on, as he'd asked.

Overall, while we thought the taste of the bagels was about average, we were impressed with the other aspects of the bagel store and would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a nice, small store and a bagel made just the way you ask for it!

Don't forget to check back next week when we head somewhere new!  As always, if you have a suggestion for us, post it here or email sundaybagelswithdad@gmail.com.  Have a great week!
