Sure, the 35-minute wait is a bit obscene on the weekends, but the crisp outside and warm inside dwarfs every other bagel. Go veggie cream cheese on pumpernickel.

The line is long. They refuse to toast their oven-fresh product, to the chagrin of newcomers. But if you have time, and can get over your Dunkin' addiction, grab your schmeer here and be prepared to experience the best bagel you've likely ever had.

The bagels are wonderful on their own, but they really serve as vessels for the most decadent cream cheese I've ever tasted
