Per the instructions given you heat it up for a bit in the oven and it comes out perfect, flaky, full of fruit and not too sweet.

So, so good!!! Absolutely loved it, the consistency is great, not too flaky but still layered.read more

This is a local butcher shop that should be supported. I had a great experience and will be back.

The bagels are always on point! I especially love their seasonal sandwiches. Current faves: the Edgewater, Sun City, and classics toasted with butter, cinnamon, and sugar for the little people. Even in the busiest times, the team is friendly, fast, and accommodating for special requests/variations. They also expanded outdoor seating, which is so nice for families and friends. Love love love this spot!

Sadly,…read moreI think I put too much anticipation into this place bc I was severely let down. - Totally here for the pan de queso bagel mashup bc I make this at home. And I do love the reimagining to a flat shape but these pancitos are VERY greasy and very seasoned when they shouldn't be. It left me feeling sick. -The lox is not great quality. It's that simple. If you know, you know. - The veggie cream cheese was fair. Not flavorful enough but at least it wasn't sweet, which is the common misstep I find outside of NY. - Bagels are meh. Not fab but not bad for outside NY. - The pickle! One of the worst offenders. It's called a full sour on the menu. It's not. It's a dill pickle. Sacrilege outside of the 5 boros. There was one bright shining star though. The latkes! I've never had a latke (potato pancake) that wasn't as heavy as a brick and soaked in grease. That's just how they are. Sometimes they are way too seasoned, too. But these majestic bites of heaven are light as a feather, not soaked in grease and not overly seasoned. And they are GF. Pair with sour cream and that heavenly apple jam. Yowza. I will come back for this, but nothing else. (Wished they bring this fínese to the pan de queso.) -

I got a subpar chuck roast that they charged me $22/lb for. Insane amounts of fat (ratio was way…read moreoff, to the point I probably paid for a lb of fat), and the meat itself was meh. Whole Foods charged $12/lb and it was noticeably better. Same story with the short rib I got last month...almost half the price at Whole Foods and experienced better or the same quality. The funniest is the stock bones...$15 for a small pack. You'd need two to make any volume of stock, (so $30), and the same amount of bones would be $10 at the farmers market. I love supporting local places, especially high-quality butchers/groceries. I really do. But there comes a point when you have to ask if you're getting ripped off. With meats DOUBLE the price of another grocer that itself has a reputation for being expensive, it starts feeling like you're being taken advantage of. For what it's worth, the little old lady in front of me almost had a panic attack when they rang her up. I would've bought her groceries for her, but I suddenly realized that me buying a couple pounds of chuck roast and 10 marrow BONES to make stock with would already have me above $100. I saw another person put back cookies because after tax they were $7 each. Sorry, guys, but I'm out.
