At Bagel Express, the tradition of old-fashioned bagels is alive and well. Hand-rolled, boiled, and baked daily on site, the bagels here have a freshness of flavor and character that big-brand varieties simply can't offer. And while these humble rolls with holes no doubt charm customers with their hearty goodness, their accoutrements don't hurt things, either. Schmears include sweet creams cheeses whipped up with cinnamon and raisins, as well as savory ones made with scallions, olives, pimentos, and more. And if patrons happen to venture away from Bagel Express's specialty, they can expect the same quality from other menu items and ingredients, including antibiotic- and filler-free deli products.
