Typical items at a bagel shop like this one — the bakery's own selection may differ.

Full menu

Classic bagels

Onion bagelTopped with dried onion flakes that turn sweet and lightly charred in the oven; a natural match for lox and cream cheese.
Cinnamon raisin bagelSwirled with cinnamon and plump raisins, lightly sweet and aromatic; best toasted with butter or plain cream cheese.
Pumpernickel bagelDark, rye-based bagel deepened with molasses, offering an earthy, slightly sour flavor and a tight, chewy crumb.
Egg bagelGolden-yellow bagel enriched with eggs for a softer, richer crumb and a faintly sweet, brioche-like flavor.

Specialty bagels

Asiago bagelBaked under a crust of shredded Asiago cheese that crisps into lacy, sharp-tasting edges around the chewy ring.
Jalapeño cheddar bagelDough folded with diced jalapeños and baked under melted cheddar, bringing mild heat and salty, tangy cheese.
Salt bagelPlain dough heavily crusted with coarse pretzel salt; bold and briny, and especially good with a smear of butter.
Whole wheat bagelMade with stone-ground whole wheat flour for a nuttier taste, darker crust and slightly denser, more rustic chew.

Cream cheese & spreads

Plain cream cheeseThick layer of whipped cream cheese; cool, tangy and the standard topping for a bagel fresh from the oven.
Scallion cream cheeseCream cheese mixed with plenty of chopped green onion for a mild, fresh oniony bite and flecks of color.
Lox spreadWhipped cream cheese blended with chopped smoked salmon, giving a salty, smoky spread without a full lox sandwich.
Vegetable cream cheeseCream cheese folded with finely diced carrot, celery, bell pepper and radish for crunch and a garden-fresh taste.
