The bagels are some of the best around. They are the perfect size - not too doughy - and come in all kinds of varieties and flavors. Try one of their gourmet cream cheeses to complement it , such as olive or garden vegetable.

Their salads are very fresh and crisp. The best part? You're able to create your own at their chopped salad bar. Homemade soups, wraps, paninis and baked goods are also among their bestsellers. They are known for their Gebhard’s crumb, butter and toffee cakes.
